Common Issues
The Problem with Standard Driveways
Standard asphalt and concrete driveways, although widely used, are susceptible to cracking, potholes, and fading as time passes.
These problems not only impact the look of the driveway but also lead to expensive repairs, particularly in areas like Connecticut, where harsh weather speeds up damage.
The high maintenance required for traditional driveways can be a burden for homeowners. Without proactive care or alternatives like a chip seal driveway in Guilford, CT, driveways lose their durability and curb appeal much faster.

CHIP SEALING OPTIONS
NEW CONSTRUCTION:
Our most durable solution
After verifying that the sub-base material is appropriate, we proceed with fine grading and compacting to ensure the proper slope. Next, we lay a 2-inch layer of 3/4-inch clean stone, forming the foundation for the new surface. This is followed by applying hot liquid asphalt, then covering it with a 1/2-inch or 3/8-inch layer of clean stone.
A second layer of hot liquid asphalt is then applied, followed by a final layer of stone. Customers can choose a ‘finish stone’ that complements the aesthetics of their property. Lastly, the entire surface is compacted to create a strong, finished product.
SINGLE CHIP:
Opt for chip seal to rejuvenate an existing chip stone surface or safeguard your investment with a protective armor coat over fresh asphalt.
A single chip seal is perfect for extending the life of your current pavement. The process begins with an even application of liquid asphalt using a specialized distributor on the prepped surface. Then, we precisely apply fine or coarse aggregates—typically 1/4″ or 3/8″ chip stone—tailored to your specific requirements.
Our computer-controlled stone spreaders and asphalt distributors ensure a uniform, consistent application from edge to edge at an exact rate. Once the liquid asphalt and stone are in place, a pneumatic-tired roller embeds the stone into the asphalt emulsion for a smooth, long-lasting finish.
DOUBLE CHIP ARMOR COAT:
An excellent option for adding an armor coat to aging asphalt or gravel surfaces.
For a double chip seal, we start by spraying liquid asphalt emulsion onto the surface with an asphalt distributor, followed by spreading 3/8″ stone into the asphalt. A steel drum roller is then used to press the 3/8″ stones into the asphalt, preparing the surface for a final layer of oil and stone.
Next, we apply a second coat of asphalt and spread 1/4″ stone into 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, creating a smooth, durable finish. The combination of 3/8″ and 1/4″ stones reduces the rough texture typically found in traditional chip seal surfaces.
