What Is Chip Seal Paving?

Chip seal paving, also known as tar and chip, is a road surfacing technique that combines hot liquid asphalt with a layer of aggregate chips.
The process involves:

  • Applying a hot asphalt emulsion

  • Spreading high-quality stone chips

  • Rolling the chips to embed them into the asphalt

  • Sweeping off loose stones

  • Allowing the surface to cure

The result is a durable, skid-resistant surface that offers excellent traction, weather protection, and long-term pavement strength.

Chip seal is widely used by homeowners, private property owners, ranches, large commercial properties, and city municipalities because it is low-maintenance, affordable, and highly customizable.

 

Why Choose Chip Seal Paving?

1. Cost-Effective Alternative to Asphalt

Chip seal paving costs significantly less than traditional asphalt paving. It delivers the same smooth drive experience with added traction but at a fraction of the cost. For property owners working within a budget, chip seal is the ideal choice.

2. Superior Traction & Safety

The textured surface created by the stone chips provides strong grip, making chip seal an excellent option for:

  • Steep driveways

  • Rural roads

  • Parking areas

  • Private lanes

  • High-traffic commercial sites

It performs especially well in rainy conditions due to improved skid resistance.

3. Durable, Weather-Resistant Surface

Chip seal paving protects your pavement from:

  • UV rays

  • Heavy rainfall

  • Freezing temperatures

  • Vehicle wear

  • Surface cracks

It seals small cracks and prevents water penetration, helping your pavement last up to 7–10 years or more with proper maintenance.

4. Customizable Appearance

Choose from a variety of stone chip colors and sizes to complement your property’s design. Chip seal offers a beautiful, natural look that enhances curb appeal, especially in residential and rural settings.

5. Fast Installation & Minimal Downtime

Compared to full asphalt paving, chip seal installation is quicker and requires less drying time. This means:

  • Faster project completion

  • Less disturbance

  • Quick return to normal use

Most chip seal projects can be completed within 1–2 days, depending on the size.

Our Chip Seal Paving Process

To ensure long-lasting and high-quality results, we follow a detailed process:

1. Site Inspection & Preparation

We begin with a full inspection of your pavement or land. Our team prepares the area by:

  • Cleaning the surface

  • Leveling uneven areas

  • Repairing cracks or potholes

  • Removing debris

2. Application of Hot Asphalt Binder

A layer of hot liquid asphalt is spread evenly across the prepared surface, creating a strong adhesive base for the stone chips.

3. Spreading the Aggregate Chips

High-quality stone chips are applied to the hot asphalt using precision-controlled equipment to ensure even coverage.

4. Rolling & Compaction

A heavy roller compacts the chips into the asphalt, ensuring a strong bond and long-lasting durability.

5. Sweeping & Finishing

Loose stones are swept off, leaving behind a clean, smooth, and finished surface.

6. Final Inspection

We complete a thorough inspection to ensure the job meets our quality standards and your satisfaction.

Yes—especially in Texas. Asphalt is more flexible, handles heat better, costs less to install, and is easier to repair. It provides a smooth, durable surface that lasts for years with proper maintenance.
