Chip seal paving is a cost-effective and durable method used to resurface roads, driveways, and parking areas. It involves applying a layer of hot liquid asphalt to the surface, followed by spreading small aggregate stones (chips) over the asphalt. These stones are then pressed into the asphalt using a heavy roller, creating a textured and skid-resistant surface. Chip seal is ideal for areas with moderate traffic and provides a protective layer that helps extend the lifespan of the pavement. It is often chosen for its affordability compared to traditional asphalt paving, as well as its ability to seal minor cracks, reduce dust, and prevent water penetration. While it does not offer the smoothness of standard asphalt, chip seal is an excellent solution for rural roads, driveways, and other low-maintenance surfaces.
