Tar and Chip Seal Services

Affordable Paving Solutions for Long Driveways

Need a clean look for your driveway? Do you have a long driveway? Do you have steep slopes?

Tar and chip driveway repair is an affordable solution for many homeowners and business owners. This process can be applied to a blacktop surface or to a prepared base. It is a thick, compacted base of stone aggregate topped with a couple layers of liquid asphalt and small gravel.

At Jim Williamson Paving, we use a variety of colored rocks such as granite, white and pink rock, slate, and brown and beige river rock. The light-colored stone surface tar and chip does not absorb heat like blacktop does and stays much cooler.

Tar and chip seal has a rough surface which gives traction even in wet weather and is an excellent choice for steep slopes. Using larger rocks or chips creates a stronger surface for heavier traffic, making this a good choice for your farm or commercial road.

This process was the original pavement used on all roads, parking lots, and driveways. This driveway repair option is virtually maintenance free as there is no need for sealcoating.

The lifespan of tar and chip depends on the amount of layers installed. This method is just as durable and dependable as blacktop. Call us today to come out and discuss the best options for you with a fast and free estimate!
