A Cost-Effective Surface Solution
Tar and chip sealing, also known as chip seal, is a cost-effective and durable alternative to traditional asphalt paving—and it’s one of the specialty services offered by The Driveway Guys. This process involves applying a layer of hot liquid asphalt (tar) over a prepared surface, followed by a layer of crushed stone (chip) that is compacted into the tar to create a textured, natural-looking finish. The result is a strong, skid-resistant surface that requires minimal maintenance and offers excellent traction in all weather conditions. Tar and chip sealing is ideal for long driveways, rural roads, or property owners who want a more rustic look without sacrificing durability. At The Driveway Guys, we provide free estimates, walk you through your options, and complete each project with the same attention to detail and quality we bring to every job. If you're looking for a surface that’s affordable, attractive, and long-lasting, tar and chip sealing might be the perfect choice.
At The Driveway Guys, the tar and chip sealing process is carefully executed to ensure a durable, textured surface that not only looks great but stands up to years of use. It all starts with a free, no-obligation estimate, where we assess your driveway or private road, discuss your preferences, and recommend the best approach based on the existing surface and intended use.
Once approved, we begin by preparing the base, which may involve grading and compacting to ensure a solid foundation. Next, a layer of hot liquid asphalt (tar) is evenly applied across the surface to act as a binding agent. While the tar is still hot and tacky, we spread a layer of crushed stone chips over the top. These chips are then compacted into the tar using a heavy roller, creating a rough, rustic-looking finish that offers excellent traction and durability.
After rolling, any loose stone is swept off, and the surface is allowed to cure. The result is a low-maintenance, cost-effective, and long-lasting surface perfect for driveways, farm roads, and rural properties. With The Driveway Guys, you get a team that’s experienced, efficient, and committed to delivering high-quality results on every tar and chip sealing project.
