What Our Clients Say
Services We Offer
Custom Tar and Chip Design and Consultation
We collaborate closely with homeowners to design tar and chip surfaces that complement existing architecture, landscaping, and outdoor features while meeting all functional requirements and local regulations. Every project begins with a thorough site assessment to understand your vision, evaluate grading and drainage needs, and recommend the best tar and chip solution for your specific property and aesthetic goals.
Tar and Chip Driveway Installation
Tar and chip driveways offer a uniquely textured, naturally attractive alternative to standard asphalt, providing excellent traction and a distinctive finished appearance that blends beautifully with residential landscapes. Our installation process includes full base preparation, hot liquid asphalt application, and hand-spread stone embedding to create a durable, tightly bonded surface built to perform through years of daily use.
Stone Selection and Custom Finish Options
One of the greatest advantages of tar and chip paving is the ability to customize the finished look through a wide selection of stone colors, sizes, and textures to match your property’s unique style. We offer a variety of natural stone aggregate options, from warm earth tones to cool grays and mixed blends, allowing you to create a surface that feels intentional, personal, and visually cohesive with your home’s exterior.
Tar and Chip Resurfacing and Overlay
When your existing driveway surface is worn but structurally sound, tar and chip resurfacing is a cost-effective way to restore its appearance and performance without a full replacement. We apply a fresh layer of hot liquid asphalt and embed new aggregate stone over the existing surface, refreshing its texture, traction, and visual appeal for years to come.
Tar and Chip Grading and Base Preparatio
A properly graded and prepared base is the foundation of every high-performing tar and chip surface, ensuring structural integrity, effective drainage, and maximum longevity. We perform thorough excavation, install compacted crushed stone or gravel base materials, and establish the correct slope to prevent water pooling, surface deterioration, and premature surface failure.
Tar and Chip Repair and Maintenance
If your existing tar and chip surface is showing signs of wear, loose stone, or surface deterioration, our expert repair and maintenance services restore both its safety and appearance efficiently and affordably. Our repair solutions include spot patching, fresh asphalt and aggregate application, edge repairs, and surface rejuvenation treatments to address damage at every level and extend the life of your paving investment.

Most residential tar and chip paving projects are finished within 2–4 days, depending on the driveway size, ground preparation needs, and weather conditions during installation.
What is the difference between tar and chip and standard asphalt paving?
Tar and chip creates a textured, natural-looking surface with better traction, while traditional asphalt delivers a smoother appearance and more uniform finish.
What is the typical lifespan of a tar and chip driveway?
When installed correctly and maintained properly, a tar and chip driveway can last around 15–20 years before requiring significant resurfacing.
Are permits required for tar and chip driveway installation?
Permit requirements depend on local regulations, property location, and project scope, so homeowners should always check with local authorities before starting work.
