Chip seal paving is a versatile and cost-effective method for surfacing roads, driveways, and parking lots. It involves applying a layer of hot liquid asphalt to the prepared surface, followed by a layer of small aggregate stones (chips) that are pressed into place with a heavy roller. This process creates a textured, skid-resistant surface that provides excellent durability and protection against weathering and wear. Chip seal is ideal for areas with moderate traffic and is often used to seal cracks, reduce dust, and prevent water damage. It is a more affordable alternative to traditional asphalt paving while still offering long-lasting results, making it a popular choice for rural roads, driveways, and commercial applications.
