Hot Tar Chip Sealing
Prior to 1930, virtually every road and highway in the country was made with tar and chips. Today, many rural roads still employ the technology; you can use it anywhere you can blacktop. It is less expensive than other methods and has minimal maintenance requirements.
Our contractors work with clients in high-end residential communities and commercial complexes. Regardless of location, chip seal is ideal for private roads, parking lots, and long lanes.
When we initiate a project, we haul in a state-of-the-art truck. This computerized distribution machine applies a heavy coat of hot tar. They continue applying it until it has coated the entire working surface. Then, they add a layer of washed chip rock and lock it into place. A large rubber tire pneumatic roller presses down on it from up top. Afterward, we repeat the entire process, ensuring long-term success.
Enhanced Traction
Rain and ice can make navigating a vehicle difficult especially if your parking lot or driveway is on a hill or a slight grade. Chip rock embedded into asphalt tar is a rougher surface which gives traction unlike concrete and blacktop that have a smooth surface. Can chip seal be plowed? Absolutely you just need to raise the blade up about an inch.
Versatility
Many property owners prefer the appearance of gravel country roads. However, they do not want to re-rock their driveways each year. Using a little bit of tar can help you reach these goals. Your driveway will resemble old-school gravel roads, but the rocks will stay in place.
Highly Cost-Effective
Hot tar chip seal is much more affordable than regular asphalt. Installations charge less, and maintenance needs are negligible. The same surface area can be coated for a third of the total cost compared to concrete.
