CHIP SEAL PAVING

What is Chip Seal Paving?

Chip seal is a pavement surface treatment that combines one or more layer of asphalt with one or more layer of fine aggregate. Throughout the United States, chip seals are typically used on rural roads carrying lower traffic volumes, and the process is often referred to as asphaltic surface treatment.

Chip seals enhance safety by providing good skid resistance. Chip seals provide an effective moisture barrier for the underlying pavement against water intrusion by sealing cracks in the pavement. Chip seals prevent deterioration of the asphalt surface from the effects of aging and oxidation due to water and sun.

If you're looking for maximum longevity, you should probably lay down asphalt or concrete. While the texture looks great, the crushed stone does wear down more easily. Asphalt lasts 10-15 years, and a chip seal driveway will give you 5-7 years.

The chip seal treatment is a cost-efficient method of pavement preservation that helps prevent water from seeping into and softening the base of the road. ... The tar-like substance is an emulsion of water and liquid asphalt which penetrates and seals small cracks in the existing pavement.
