A Budget-Friendly Alternative to Traditional Asphalt: Tar and Chip Sealing

Tar and chip sealing is an asphalt surface treatment that combines hot liquid asphalt with layers of crushed stone to create a strong, textured finish. Also known as chip seal, this method offers a natural-looking surface that provides excellent traction and durability. The process involves applying a layer of hot asphalt emulsion followed by a layer of stone chips, which are then compacted to embed the stones into the asphalt. Over time, the stones become more firmly embedded, creating a rough, slip-resistant surface that stands up well to weather and traffic.

Tar and chip is commonly used as a cost-effective alternative to traditional asphalt paving, especially for rural driveways, private roads, and light-use commercial areas. It’s ideal for property owners who want a long-lasting surface without the higher cost of blacktop. One of its key benefits is low maintenance—cracks are less noticeable, and resealing is typically not required.
