you can buy bags of cold applied tarmac from builders merchants, but try and lay it on a warm day.
lay it heaped so that it remains higher than the finished area by 10-15mm. you then need to pat or thump it down (back of a shovel, thumping iron, compacter plate etc) untill level with the surrounding area.
lay it about 40mm thick.
it sometimes helps to seal the join with a bitumastic sealent.
