What is Tar & Chip Paving?

Tar & Chip, also known as chip seal, macadam, oil-and-stone, or liquid-asphalt-and-stone, is a cost-effective paving method where hot asphalt is poured over a gravel base and covered with a layer of crushed stone. Once compacted, it forms a durable, textured surface that provides excellent grip and longevity.

Where is Tar & Chip Commonly Used?

Residential Applications:

  • Driveways
  • Private Roads
  • Walkways

Commercial Applications:

  • Parking Lots
  • Ranch & Farm Roads
  • Subdivisions & Rural Roads

The Benefits of Tar & Chip Paving

Tar & Chip paving offers several advantages over traditional asphalt or concrete surfaces, making it an excellent choice for both homes and businesses.

Cost-Effective

Tar & Chip paving is more affordable than traditional asphalt while still delivering strong and durable results, making it an ideal choice for budget-conscious homeowners and businesses.

Durability

With a rough, weather-resistant surface, Tar & Chip paving is built to last, handling moderate traffic and resisting wear-and-tear better than gravel roads.

Low Maintenance

Unlike asphalt, which requires regular seal coating, Tar & Chip is virtually maintenance-free, saving you money on long-term upkeep.

Good Traction

The textured stone surface offers better grip, making it safer for both vehicles and pedestrians, especially in wet or icy conditions.

Aesthetic Appeal

Tar & Chip paving provides a natural, rustic look and allows customization with different colored stones to match your property’s aesthetic.

Quick Installation

Compared to asphalt or concrete, Tar & Chip can be installed quickly, minimizing disruptions to your home or business.

Weather Resistance

This paving method performs well in various climates, especially in hot regions where asphalt softens.

Self-Healing Properties

Over time, the tar naturally softens and fills in small cracks, helping prolong the lifespan of the pavement.
