Tar and chip works especially well where property owners want something more finished than gravel without necessarily choosing traditional smooth asphalt. Its textured stone surface makes it well suited for residential, rural, and larger properties.
Tar and chip paving combines a layer of liquid asphalt with crushed stone aggregate. The stone is spread over the asphalt binder and rolled into place, creating a durable surface with exposed aggregate rather than the smooth black finish associated with traditional asphalt paving. The result is a textured, natural-looking surface that can complement a wide range of residential and rural properties.
Exposed stone gives tar and chip a more organic look that blends well with homes, wooded lots, rural properties, and long private entrances.
Unlike smooth blacktop, tar and chip has an exposed aggregate texture that gives the finished surface a distinct feel and appearance.
For the right property, tar and chip can provide a practical alternative to traditional asphalt when balancing surface coverage, appearance, and budget.
Long driveways, rural roads, private access, and larger properties are common applications where tar and chip can make excellent sense.
Tar and chip gets its distinctive appearance from combining asphalt binder and stone aggregate in layers. Proper preparation, even material application, and compaction are all important to creating a finished surface.
We evaluate the existing area, grade, drainage, and base conditions before preparing the property for the new surface.
Liquid asphalt binder is applied to the prepared surface, followed by a layer of stone aggregate that creates the finished texture.
The stone is rolled into the asphalt layer to help seat the aggregate and create the characteristic tar and chip finish.
Tar and chip is especially appealing for properties where a traditional smooth blacktop finish isn't the only priority. Whether you're improving the approach to your home or covering a longer private roadway, the textured stone finish can deliver a distinctive combination of function and appearance.
Give your driveway a durable surface with a natural, textured stone appearance that can complement the style and setting of your property.
