tar and Chip paving Service
What is Tar & Chip Road Paving?
Tar & Chip paving—also known as chip seal, estate paving, or macadam—offers a time-tested, durable solution for paving and resurfacing roads. Unlike traditional hot-mix asphalt, which is pre-mixed at an asphalt plant, Tar & Chip paving involves applying the components directly at the job site. This method combines hot liquid asphalt cement (liquid A/C) as a binder with gravel or stone as the main structural material, resulting in a rugged and dependable surface.
A Long-Standing Solution Tar & Chip paving has been successfully used worldwide for over a century. It’s a popular choice for County, State, and Department of Transportation projects, as well as a reliable option for resurfacing roads in both urban and rural settings. Its proven performance makes it a favorite for public road paving projects across the United States.
