• TAR AND CHIP
  

Tar and Chip driveways are a cheaper alternative to the traditional asphalt driveway. A different technique is used and the result is still a durable and paved surface.

For a traditional asphalt surface, contents are mixed together beforehand at a plant and then delivered to the job site. For a tar and chip surface, the contents are mixed together at the job site instead of at a plant, following three steps:

1. Hot Tar is poured onto the ground.
2. Small pieces of rock are laid on top of the tar.
3. A heavy roller vehicle is driven over the surface, compacting the stone pieces into the tar and smoothing down the surface of the new pavement.

A tar and chip driveway is very affordable compared to paving. It also gives you an easy way to personalize your driveway! Since the mixture for the pavement is combined on-site, you can choose the colors of the contents based on what material is available!

Tar and Chip driveways can offer you a different array of qualities from your average asphalt pavement while also  requiring less maintenance!
