Tar and Chip

Tar and Chip Installation Middletown NY

Many don't know this, but tar and chip is the same thing as chip seal! It's a combination of asphalt and stone, and is available in decorative stone colors when requested! A gravel base is installed, then hot liquid asphalt is applied on top of the gravel in order for the asphalt to adhere to the gravel base. Loose stone is then put down over the hot tar, so that it becomes embedded in the asphalt. The stones are then firmly rolled into the tar. This is a great paving option for:
  • Giving a 'rustic country' look to any surface
  • Private Roads
  • Farm Roads
  • Farm Lanes
  • Driveways
  • And more!

Advantages of Tar and Chip over Blacktop Asphalt

  • Maintenance! Asphalt requires periodic sealing and repairs; tar and chip is relatively maintenance free with no sealing, and fewer repairs. 
  • Doesn’t show visible cracks like blacktop.
  • Traction! In wet or snowy weather, the rough surface of tar and chip provides extra grip to feet and tires.
