CHIP SEALING OPTIONS
NEW CONSTRUCTION:
Our most durable solution
After confirming that the sub-base material is suitable, we begin by fine grading and compacting to ensure the correct slope. We then apply a 2-inch layer of 3/4-inch clean stone as the foundation for the new surface. This is followed by a layer of hot liquid asphalt, which is then covered with a 1/2-inch or 3/8-inch layer of clean stone.
Next, a second coat of hot liquid asphalt is applied, followed by a final layer of stone. Customers can select a ‘finish stone’ that complements the appearance of their property. Finally, the surface is compacted to create a strong, durable product.
SINGLE CHIP:
Choose chip seal to refresh an existing chip stone surface or protect your investment with a durable armor coat over new asphalt.
A single chip seal is an ideal solution for extending the lifespan of your current pavement. The process begins with an even application of liquid asphalt, applied by a specialized distributor on the prepared surface. Fine or coarse aggregates—typically 1/4″ or 3/8″ chip stone—are then precisely applied, customized to meet your specific needs.
Our computer-controlled stone spreaders and asphalt distributors guarantee a uniform, consistent application from edge to edge at the exact rate required. After applying the liquid asphalt and stone, a pneumatic-tired roller embeds the stone into the asphalt emulsion, creating a smooth, long-lasting finish.
DOUBLE CHIP ARMOR COAT:
A great option for applying an armor coat to aging asphalt or gravel surfaces.
For a double chip seal, we begin by spraying liquid asphalt emulsion onto the surface using an asphalt distributor, then spreading 3/8″ stone into the asphalt. A steel drum roller is used to press the 3/8″ stones into the asphalt, preparing the surface for the final layer of oil and stone.
Next, a second coat of asphalt is applied, followed by 1/4″ stone spread over the fresh asphalt. The surface is then rolled with a rubber-tired roller, embedding the smaller stones into the gaps of the 3/8″ layer, resulting in a smooth, durable finish. Using a combination of 3/8″ and 1/4″ stones reduces the rough texture often associated with traditional chip seal surfaces.
