Possible Tree Root Tarmac Damage

Hi
Does anyone have any experience of having to repair tarmac damage due to tree roots ?
I'm looking at buying a property and this could be a problem some down the road for a small area of the private drive
Just looking for ball park costs and if they are significant
Thanks

    If you repair the tarmac and leave the tree with the roots the damage will come back.  Can you make a barrier down into the ground to stop the roots?
