CHIP SEALING OPTIONS
NEW CONSTRUCTION:
Our most durable solution
We start by verifying that the sub-base material is suitable, followed by precise fine grading and compacting to ensure the correct slope. Next, we lay a 2-inch layer of 3/4-inch clean stone to establish a solid foundation for the new surface. The process continues with an application of hot liquid asphalt, topped with a 1/2-inch or 3/8-inch layer of clean stone. A second layer of hot liquid asphalt is then added, followed by a final layer of stone.
To enhance aesthetics, customers can select a ‘finish stone’ that complements their property’s style. Finally, the entire surface is compacted to create a durable, polished driveway that stands the test of time.
SINGLE CHIP:
Revitalize your existing chip stone surface or protect your investment with a durable armor coat over fresh asphalt using our single chip seal process.
Ideal for prolonging the life of your current pavement, this method offers both protection and renewed aesthetics. The process begins with a precise application of liquid asphalt, evenly distributed across the prepped surface using a specialized distributor. Next, fine or coarse aggregates—typically 1/4″ or 3/8″ chip stone—are applied based on your specific needs.
Our advanced, computer-controlled stone spreaders and asphalt distributors ensure an even, edge-to-edge application at exact rates. Finally, a pneumatic-tired roller embeds the stone into the asphalt emulsion, creating a smooth, durable, and long-lasting finish.
DOUBLE CHIP ARMOR COAT:
The double chip seal process is an excellent solution for adding a protective armor coat to aging asphalt or gravel surfaces, enhancing durability and extending their lifespan.
We begin by applying liquid asphalt emulsion to the surface using a specialized distributor, followed by spreading 3/8″ stone into the asphalt. A steel drum roller presses the stones firmly into place, preparing the surface for the final layers.
Next, a second coat of asphalt is applied, and 1/4″ stone is evenly spread onto the fresh asphalt. A rubber-tired roller embeds the smaller stones into the gaps of the 3/8″ layer, resulting in a smooth and durable finish. This dual-layer process minimizes the rough texture often associated with traditional chip seal, providing a polished and long-lasting surface.
