What is Tar and Chip Paving?

Tar and chip paving, also known as chip seal (or chip and seal) paving or seal chip, is a method of surfacing roads, driveways, and parking lots. The process begins with preparing the existing surface by cleaning it and, if necessary, repairing any cracks or potholes. The workers apply a layer of hot liquid asphalt (tar) to the prepared surface. A gravel base (chip) follows this.

The gravel adheres to the surface of the hot asphalt creating a textured surface. Heavy machinery compacts this mixture, ensuring that the chips embed into the asphalt. This compaction process helps to create a tight bond between the chips and the asphalt. The final result is a durable and weather-resistant textured surface.

One of the advantages of tar and chip paving is it is relatively low maintenance. This fact, combined with its cost effectiveness, make it a great option for country roads, driveways, and parking lots. It is a good choice for these areas.

Our Satisfied Customers

E M Frickert

We would give 10 stars if we could! Scheduling around the weather was a bit of a challenge but the crew did a super job once they were here. They all worked so well together. Just like an assembly line one after the other. Our job was done very fast and with excellent quality. They cleaned up before they left the site and we are soooo happy with our new driveway!! Sheila kept us in the loop along the way and was exceptionally pleasant to work with. Thank you very much!!!

Christine Morris

From start to finish, our experience with BG Paving exceeded our expectations. The estimate appointment was convenient and easy to schedule, the plan took into account our unique needs. We were delighted to have the work scheduled 2 weeks after we approved the project – even more thrilled that the job was complete within a day! Every member of the crew was polite, professional and took care with each detail. My husband and I would hire them again and recommend their work.

Rebecca Smith

Our experience with BG Paving was terrific. We had set in motion to do one type of driveway and when an issue came up we were able to switch to another option with a reduced cost. We are very satisfied with their workmanship as well. I would recommend them for sure.
