Why You Need an Experienced Tar and Chip Paving Contractor

Not all paving companies offer tar and chip paving. Unlike modern black top paving which relies heavily on technology like self-leveling pavers, tar and chip installation relies principally on experience. Too much liquid asphalt and the “tar” can seep through to the surface and create sticky tar bubbles your tires can track into the garage. Too much chip stone and you’ll be spraying gravel every time you drive on the road. This wastes material and can potentially chip the paint on your vehicle. Too little of either material and the roadway can lose its structural integrity. At Standard Paving we have both the experience (30 year’s worth) and the equipment to consistently put down a quality tar and chip surface. We’ve done hundreds of them over the years.

How is Tar & Chip Road Paving Installed?

After the prep work is completed (which is almost identical for Tar & Chip paving, as it is for asphalt paving) First a coat of liquid A/C is applied to the existing surface. This is accomplished by using a distributor truck equipped with spray bars, to apply an exact and consistent amount of liquid A/C, heated to the right temperature. Then a uniform layer of clean, crushed chip stone is spread using a spreader box attached to the dump truck transporting the gravel. The stone adheres to the hot liquid asphalt. Finally, a roller is used to imbed the stone into the tar. The entire process is repeated on jobs where multiple courses are required. Finally, a roller is used to imbed the stone into the tar.
