A durable, rustic-looking alternative to smooth asphalt — popular for rural driveways, private roads, and country properties.
Overview
Chip seal (tar-and-chip or macadam) is a layered surface treatment where liquid asphalt is applied hot, then immediately covered with crushed stone aggregate that embeds into the binder as it cools. The result is a textured, durable surface with natural stone appearance. It costs 30–50% less than full asphalt but requires more maintenance over time.
