Chip Seal

Chip seal(also known as tar and chip) is a surface treatment that combines hot liquid asphalt with a layer of crushed stone (chips). It creates a textured, durable surface that improves traction, resists weather, and costs significantly less than traditional asphalt paving.

It’s often used for rural roads, private driveways, parking areas, and even city streets looking for a lower-cost paving option..

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does new asphalt paving last?

With proper installation and regular maintenance, a newly paved asphalt surface can last 15 to 30 years. Factors like climate, traffic load, and maintenance practices (like sealing and crack repair) greatly impact its lifespan.

How often should I sealcoat my asphalt driveway or parking lot?

It's recommended to apply sealcoat every 2 to 3 years. This protective layer shields your asphalt from water, UV rays, oil, and oxidation, extending its life and maintaining a fresh, black finish.

How long does it take to pave a commercial parking lot?

The time can vary based on size and complexity, but most standard parking lots can be paved within 1 to 3 days, plus an additional 24–48 hours for curing before it’s safe for vehicle traffic..

Is recycled asphalt a good option for driveways or rural roads?

Yes! Recycled asphalt (also called millings) is a cost-effective, eco-friendly choice. It compacts well, offers good durability, and provides excellent drainage—making it ideal for driveways, farm roads, and private lanes.
