Chip & Seal is a durable and cost-effective paving solution that involves spraying a layer of hot liquid asphalt (tar) onto the surface, followed by an application of clean, washed stone. The stone is then compacted into place using heavy rollers to create a strong, textured surface.

For new driveways or parking lots, we recommend a double application to ensure maximum durability and longevity.

Compared to asphalt or concrete, Chip & Seal typically requires less maintenance. Its flexible nature allows it to adapt to minor ground movement, helping reduce the cracking commonly seen with more rigid surfaces. However, like any paved surface, its performance depends heavily on the quality of the base beneath it. Proper drainage and correction of any sub-base issues are essential prior to installation to ensure long-term success.

Equipment Used
Chip & Seal installation requires specialized equipment, including: Distributor truck (for applying liquid asphalt), Chip spreader, Haul trucks, Rollers, Power brooms

Weather & Traffic Considerations
Appropriate weather conditions must be met before installation begins. Once the process is complete and pavement markings are applied, the surface can be opened to traffic.
