What Is Chip Seal Paving?
Chip seal—also known as tar and chip or seal chip paving—is a paving method that combines:
- A hot liquid asphalt binder
- A layer of clean, durable stone chips
- High-pressure rolling to lock the stone into place
This creates a tough, skid-resistant surface that performs exceptionally well under all weather conditions. Chip seal is a popular choice for rural roads, ranch driveways, and commercial areas because it provides the look of natural gravel with the strength of asphalt.
Benefits of Chip Seal Paving
✔ More Affordable Than Asphalt
Chip seal costs significantly less than traditional asphalt while still delivering great performance and longevity.
✔ Excellent Traction & Safety
The textured surface provides superior grip for vehicles, especially in wet or icy conditions.
✔ Long-Lasting Durability
When installed properly, chip seal surfaces can last 8–12 years with minimal maintenance.
✔ Weather-Resistant
Chip seal performs well through hot summers, heavy rainfall, and cold winter freeze-thaw cycles.
✔ Natural & Attractive Appearance
The stone chips come in different colors and sizes, giving your roadway a rustic, decorative look.
✔ Low Maintenance
Chip seal resists cracking and requires less upkeep than asphalt or gravel.

Our Chip Seal Installation Process
We follow a detailed, professional method to ensure quality and longevity.
1. Site Preparation
We start by clearing vegetation, debris, loose material, and leveling the surface.
If needed, we also:
- Grade the area
- Improve drainage
- Install or rebuild the road base
A strong base is essential for a long-lasting chip seal application.
2. Applying the Asphalt Binder
We use hot liquid asphalt, evenly sprayed using commercial-grade equipment.
This layer acts as:
- The glue that holds the stone chips
- A seal to protect the base
- A waterproof barrier against weather
3. Spreading the Stone Chips
Next, we distribute a layer of high-quality stone chips over the asphalt.
Our stones are:
- Washed
- Durable
- Uniform in size
- Selected for strength and appearance
You can even choose from multiple stone color options.
4. Rolling & Compaction
We use heavy rollers to embed the chips firmly into the asphalt.
This step ensures:
- A tight bond
- Greater durability
- Even surface texture
5. Final Sweeping & Clean-Up
Once the chip seal sets, we remove any loose stones for a clean, safe finish.
Some light shedding is normal in the first few weeks, but we ensure the road is neat and ready to use.
Where Chip Seal Works Best
Chip seal is ideal for:
- Long driveways
- Ranch & farm roads
- Low- to medium-traffic roadways
- Scenic routes & private lanes
- Subdivisions & rural neighborhoods
- Parking areas on large properties
It’s the perfect option when you need strength, durability, and affordability.
