Harleston Tar & Chip Surfacing solutions

Tar and chip surfacing is essential for surfacing roads, driveways, and parking lots for several reasons. Firstly, it provides a durable and resilient surface that can withstand heavy traffic and varying weather conditions. The combination of hot liquid asphalt (tar) and aggregate (chips) creates a strong bond that resists cracking, rutting, and other forms of damage. It makes it an ideal choice for areas with high traffic volume or areas prone to extreme temperatures.

There are several reasons why tar and chip surfacing is essential:

Durability: Tar and chip surfacing is a reliable and durable method that produces a firm surface capable of withstanding heavy traffic and harsh weather conditions and combining tar and aggregate forms a strong bond, resulting in a surface that resists cracks, rutting, and other types of damage caused by regular use.

Cost-effectiveness: It is more affordable than surfacing methods like asphalt or concrete. The materials used in chip seal are generally less expensive, and the application process is quicker and requires less labour. It is an excellent choice for customers looking for a cost-effective surfacing solution.

Skid resistance: The rough texture of the chip and tar surface provides excellent skid resistance, improving safety for vehicles and pedestrians. It helps to reduce accidents, especially in areas prone to slippery conditions such as wet or icy roads. 

Maintenance: Regular sweeping and occasional resealing is usually sufficient to keep the surface in good condition. The aggregate chips also help hide small cracks and imperfections, extending the surface’s life.
