Tar & Chip by the numbers

Tar and chip paving is a versatile method that can be applied directly over existing bases, including blacktop, concrete, or gravel.  Chip-coat paving is less expensive than asphalt and is available in many colors and shades of stones. 

  1. The process begins with the application of a quarter-inch layer of hot liquid asphalt tar on top of the underlying surface. This hot tar serves a dual purpose: it binds the base to the stone chips while also acting as an effective water seal. 
  2. Following this, a layer of loose stone is spread over the freshly applied tar and carefully raked to ensure even coverage. 
  3. To finalize the installation, a rolling machine is used to embed the stones into the tar, creating a durable and attractive surface for driveways and roads.
