Tar and chip paving looks similar to asphalt but uses a different installation process. Successive layers of gravel, hot liquid bitumen asphalt, and more loose stone are laid over the surface and compressed, this rustic look isn’t for everyone but for some its everything and more. PAC Asphalt covers this process to DOT standards and has performed may projects for TX DOT.
If you want to create roads, pavements, or parking lots in a manner that’s more cost-effective than asphalt, then Pac Asphalt tar and chip seal paving might be just the option for you. Pac Asphalt is a leading tar chip paving company, having worked with hundreds of residential and commercial clients for a wide range of projects.
Also known as chip coating, tar and chip paving, or tar and rock paving, this is a traditional method still widely used for rural roads and driveways. Whether you want a low-cost way to surface new roads or you have an older surface that needs a little improvement, tar & chip seal paving might be the option for you. While cost-effective, it’s still highly durable and stands up to wear and tear and bad weather such as the sun, rain, and heavy winds.
All projects start with a consultation. We will perform an inspection and ensure that the existing surface is up to specification, answering any questions or recommending courses of action if the surface isn’t yet ready. Before work begins, we provide as accurate a quote as possible so you know how much you can expect to pay.
Following the inspection, our team arrives to start laying down the coat of asphalt cement, also known as tar. Once it’s at the recommended thickness, we ensure it’s spread as evenly as possible, smooth it over, then wait for it to cool to the right temperature. The gravel is added next, pressed into the tar with a roller, and sealed to provide a smooth, durable surface.
This method can be used to finish parking lots, driveways, private roads, and more. No matter your project, get in touch and we can help you see it done. There’s no job too big or too small.
