Expert Tar & Chip (Chip Seal) Contractors

Looking for a durable, cost-effective paving option with a natural stone look? Tar & chip paving—also known as chip seal—combines liquid asphalt with natural crushed stone aggregate to create a heavy-duty, rustic surface ideal for rural properties, long private drives, and farm lanes across Northern Virginia.

How Tar & Chip Paving Works

  • Base Preparation: We grade and compact the existing stone or gravel surface to ensure a stable, smooth foundation.
  • Hot Liquid Asphalt Application: A thick layer of liquid asphalt binder is evenly sprayed over the prepared sub-base at precise temperatures.
  • Aggregate Spreading & Compaction: Premium crushed stone aggregate is spread over the liquid binder and rolled with heavy compaction equipment, embedding the stone firmly into the binder.

Advantages of Tar & Chip Paving

  1. Cost-Effective Coverage: Significantly lower cost per square foot compared to full hot-mix asphalt, making it ideal for long driveways and large private roadways.
  2. Natural Stone Aesthetic: Choose a custom stone finish that blends naturally into rural, historic, and suburban landscapes.
  3. Low Maintenance: Tar & chip surfaces do not require periodic sealcoating. Under warm summer sun, the flexible asphalt binder self-heals minor surface fractures.
  4. Superior All-Weather Traction:: The exposed stone texture provides excellent tire grip on steep slopes, wet roads, and icy winter drives.

Ideal Applications for Tar & Chip

  1. Long Country Driveways
  2. Private Access Roads & HOA Streets
  3. Farm & Ranch Lanes
  4. Commercial Utility Roads & Staging Areas
