Why Choose Tar & Chip?
Many homeowners and private road owners choose this method for its balance of beauty and budget.
-
Cost-Effective: typically costs less to install than hot-mix asphalt.
-
Superior Traction: The textured surface provides better grip in snow, rain, and ice—ideal for our local winters.
-
Natural Aesthetic: The stone finish offers a rustic, "country road" look that complements long driveways and rural estates.
-
Low Maintenance: It does not require regular sealcoating. In hot weather, the tar can re-seal minor cracks automatically.
Our Installation Process
We don't cut corners. We ensure your surface is built to last using our "Design with Excellence" standard.
-
Site Preparation: We grade the surface to ensure proper drainage and install a sturdy gravel base if required.
-
Liquid Asphalt Application: We spray a heavy coat of hot liquid asphalt using specialized distributors to ensure even coverage.
-
Stone Spreading: A layer of clean, angular stone chips is immediately spread over the hot tar.
-
Compaction: We use a heavy roller to embed the stones firmly into the asphalt, locking them in place to create a hardened surface.
