The Benefits of Chip Sealing/Tar & Chip
Chip sealing, also known as tar & chip, is a road surface treatment that combines one or more layer(s) of asphalt with one or more layer(s) of fine aggregate. This treatment acts as a protective layer for your asphalt paved surfaces and carries multiple benefits including enhanced longevity, robustness, and property value.
Enhanced Longevity and Robustness
Chip sealing not only extends the lifespan of asphalt-paved areas but also bolsters their ability to withstand all sorts of wear and tear. The added layer of protection slows the damage caused by UV rays, water, ice, heat, and traffic, thus reducing the frequency and severity of repairs. Additionally, its natural flexibility means it can contract and expand with temperature changes without cracking or deforming.
Increase in Property Value
A well-maintained exterior can significantly boost a property’s curb appeal, and a crucial part of exterior upkeep is a good-looking, well-paved driving path. Chip sealing your driveway, or other asphalt paved surfaces, greatly enhances your property's aesthetics. The stone aggregate in chip sealing can be chosen to match your property's landscaping, thereby increasing your property value.
Cost-Effective and Eco-Friendly
Compared to other paving methods, chip sealing is significantly more cost-effective. It requires fewer raw materials and less time to implement while still providing an extremely durable surface. Add to that, it’s also eco-friendly. Chip sealing uses natural, locally-sourced, and often recycled, stone for the aggregate. The methods used in its application are also environmentally friendly, producing minimal pollution.

Chip sealing is a preventive maintenance technique that involves applying a layer of asphalt emulsion to an existing pavement and then covering it with a layer of aggregate or ‘chips’. This protective layer shields the asphalt from harmful elements, prolonging its lifespan. At All Ways Paving, we have extensive experience in chip sealing techniques.
Chip sealing protects the asphalt from water, sunlight and oxygen, all of which can speed up the asphalt’s degradation process. The chips also provide extra grip, increasing road safety. All Ways Paving implements chip sealing to ensure your asphalt surfaces are well maintained and durable.
Ideally, chip sealing should be performed during warm and dry weather conditions which allow the material to cure properly. At All Ways Paving, we plan and execute chip sealing projects based on optimal weather conditions for the best results.
While chip sealing does provide a protective cover, it’s not a complete solution for significant cracks or damage. It’s important to have these issues repaired before the chip sealing process. All Ways Paving provides thorough asphalt inspections and repairs before starting any chip sealing project.
When professionally installed and properly maintained, a chip seal can last between 7 to 10 years. All Ways Paving‘s expertly applied chip sealing process maximizes the lifespan of your asphalt surfaces, providing long term efficiency and sustainability.
