The Advantages of Chip Seals

Tar and chip has been used for paving projects for hundreds of years, and was the most common way roads were constructed. A tar and chip driveway or road is highly customizable, low-maintenance, provides good traction, and is budget-friendly. Chip seal is often installed over existing pavement to correct issues like raveling, and cracks in the asphalt. It refreshes your asphalt driveway, parking lot, or road without needing to tear out the base, but is a less expensive process than asphalt resurfacing.

Tar and chip paving has a rough surface texture from the final step, where the stone chips are laid on top of the hot liquid asphalt. There is a variety of options you can choose for this final layer. Thanks to the stones rolled in the liquid asphalt, chip seal provides better surface traction than other paving options. It is an ideal option for areas that receive frequent rain and inclement weather.

Chip and seal also provides better traction than asphalt pavement.

Tar and Chip Driveway

Tar and chip driveways give homeowners a chance to choose a unique finish that matches their house’s design by picking the stone of their choice to roll in the hot asphalt. It is an especially popular driveway material for long driveways as it is a cost-effective choice that provides better traction than a loose gravel driveway without tar.

What makes tar & chip different from other paving options?

Chip seal is a low-cost alternative that is less expensive than paving asphalt driveways and parking lots. Unlike asphalt, it also doesn’t require yearly maintenance or seal coating. Instead, every 7 to 10 years a fresh chip seal layer is paved to keep the surface fresh. Because of this, it is not considered a long-lasting material. However, it is a durable surface that costs less than asphalt installation.

Caution should be used when clearing snow from a tar and chip driveway. The crushed stone in the top layer can be dislodged by a plow that is set too low. To avoid this, bumpers can be used to skim over the surface and clear the snow without damaging the top layer.
