Chip Seal- Commercial or residential chip seal is constructed by evenly distributing a thin base of hot bitumen or liquid asphalt onto an existing pavement or compacted road base, then embedding finely graded aggregate into it. The aggregate is evenly distributed over the seal spray, then rolled into a smooth pavement surface.  A chip seal surfaced pavement can optionally be sealed with a top layer which is referred to as a fog seal.  We imbed your choice of rock (color can be manipulated with various rock ) over existing pavement or graded road base.  A prime coat is recommended for good binding. 

While asphalt requires periodic sealing and repairs, the chip and seal method is relatively maintenance free.

Counties throughout the nation have had years of success with their chip seal driving surfaces. One of the primary reasons for their success and longevity is due to careful snow removal techniques. A chip sealed surface is susceptible to “careless or aggressive” snow removal methods. Longevity depends on leaving about ½” or more of snow on the road surface, and not trying to scrape down to the road bed with a snow plow.
