Importance of Tar & Chip Paving

Tar & Chip - The Asphalt Alternative

Tar and chip paving is perfect for budget-conscious homeowners or business owners who want a durable, functional surface without the high costs of traditional asphalt. It provides a rough texture that is perfect for driveways, farm roads, and industrial lots. In addition, this paving option doesn’t require the frequent resealing that traditional asphalt needs, making it a more convenient and long-lasting solution.

Long-Term Durability of Tar & Chip

Long-Lasting Paving Solution

Tar and chip driveways are built to last with minimal upkeep. The rough texture of the stone helps the surface hold up well to traffic and harsh weather. Additionally, this surface type allows for easier repair and resurfacing compared to traditional asphalt. Over time, you can refresh your tar and chip driveway without the need for a full replacement, making it a cost-effective solution for many property types.
