Chip sealing is an effective, affordable solution trusted by residential, commercial, and municipal clients.
First, debris is removed from the surface, the area is cleaned and holes are patched. Then, we spray the area with hot liquid asphalt and use a chip spreader to apply the crushed gravel. Last, a heavy roller is used to compress loose gravel to make a smooth surface.
Chip sealing creates a moisture barrier to protect layers below from damage from the elements. Also, the surface becomes skid-resistant.
Chip sealing is far more affordable, as the installation process is different from conventional asphalt surfacing.
Most paved driveways are ideal for chip sealing. Just call our team and we can assess your driveway and let you know if this process will work for you.
If you want the look of regular asphalt paving, chip sealing may not be the right option for you. It can also be harder to maintain.
Most chip-sealed surfaces can be used within one to three hours.
Count on chip sealing for the following benefits:
- Low Cost:
Chip sealing is around a fourth to a fifth of the cost of a conventional asphalt overlay, offering huge cost savings to customers. - Less Maintenance:
Chip sealing causes cracks to reseal during hot weather.
Better Traction – the texture of chip seal provides resistance to skidding, ensuring more safety on otherwise dangerous roads. - Lower Temperatures:
Chip seal doesn’t absorb heat like normal asphalt, meaning it tends to be cooler.
No Downtime – chip seal is a quick process and hardens quickly, which means you can use the surface much sooner.
