Common Issues
The Challenge with Traditional Driveways
Traditional asphalt and concrete driveways, while common, are prone to cracks, potholes, and fading over time.
These issues not only affect the driveway’s appearance but also require costly repairs, especially in regions like Connecticut, where weather extremes contribute to wear and tear.
The high maintenance needs of traditional driveways can become a burden for homeowners. Without proactive treatment or alternative solutions, such as chip seal, driveways lose durability and visual appeal much faster.

Why Chip Seal is a Superior Alternative
Chip seal driveways offer a superior alternative to traditional asphalt or concrete.
This innovative paving method combines a layer of hot liquid asphalt with stone chips, providing a durable, weather-resistant surface.
Chip seal is not only cost-effective but also extends the life of driveways by protecting them from damage caused by freezing and thawing cycles. Additionally, it offers a customizable, aesthetically pleasing finish that can enhance the curb appeal of any property in Connecticut.

CHIP SEALING OPTIONS
NEW CONSTRUCTION:
Our most durable solution
After confirming that the sub-base material is suitable, we fine grade and compact it to ensure the correct pitch. Next, we install a 2-inch layer of 3/4-inch clean stone, which serves as the base layer for the new surface. This is followed by an application of hot liquid asphalt, topped with a 1/2-inch or 3/8-inch layer of clean stone.
We then apply a second coat of hot liquid asphalt, followed by a final layer of stone. The customer can select the ‘finish stone’ to complement the surrounding property’s appearance. Finally, the surfaces are compacted into a durable, finished product.
SINGLE CHIP:
Choose chip seal to refresh an existing chip stone surface or to protect your investment by applying a protective armor coat over new asphalt.
A single chip seal is ideal for extending the lifespan of your current pavement. During installation, we begin by applying an even coat of liquid asphalt using a specialized distributor on the prepared surface. This is followed by a precise application of fine or coarse aggregates—typically 1/4″ or 3/8″ chip stone—based on your specific needs.
Our stone spreader and asphalt distributors are computer-controlled, ensuring a consistent, uniform application from edge to edge at an exact rate. After the liquid asphalt and stone are applied, we use a pneumatic-tired roller to evenly embed the stone into the asphalt emulsion, delivering a smooth, durable finish.
DOUBLE CHIP ARMOR COAT:
A great solution 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, followed by spreading 3/8″ stone into the liquid asphalt. A steel drum roller is then used to press the 3/8″ stones flat into the asphalt, preparing the surface for a final layer of oil and stone.
Next, we apply another coat of asphalt and spread a smaller 1/4″ stone into the fresh liquid asphalt. The driveway is then rolled with a rubber-tired roller, embedding the smaller stones into the gaps of the 3/8″ layer to create a smooth, durable finish. Using a combination of 3/8″ and 1/4″ stones prevents the rough texture often associated with traditional chip seal surfaces.
