Chip seal paving is a cost-effective solution to build durable and decorative surfaces, ideal for driveways, private roads, and parking lots. The process begins with a hot-applied liquid asphalt emulsion, followed by a layer of crushed rock chips embedded in the surface.
The top layer of stone is exposed, leaving the rock as the visible surface, providing natural beauty and excellent traction. This chip seal technique creates a protective layer that shields against water penetration, frost heaves, and asphalt oxidation, resulting in a long-lasting, durable pavement.
Benefits of Chip Seal
When choosing the right surface treatment for your project, here are the advantages of using chip seal:
Lower Overall Cost – Chip seal surfaces cost slightly more than gravel, but significantly less than asphalt, with fewer long-term repairs.
Very Low Maintenance – Chip seal requires minimal upkeep, without the need for resealing every 2-3 years like asphalt.
Natural Beauty – Chip seal naturally blends into the surrounding landscape, enhancing the visual appeal of your home or business.
Dust Control – While not completely dust-free, chip seal greatly reduces dust compared to other surfaces.
Improved Traction – The rough texture of chip seal enhances traction, providing safer driving conditions.
Long Lifespan – Chip seal surfaces typically last up to 10 years before requiring resurfacing.
