Tar & Chip Driveway Services
in New Jersey
What’s the appeal of tar and chip driveways over traditional asphalt?
If you’re looking for a driveway that offers the durability of asphalt with a rustic, textured look—tar and chip might be your ideal solution. Also known as chip seal, this paving method involves applying hot liquid asphalt over a prepared base, then embedding crushed stone into the surface. The result is a rougher, natural-looking finish with excellent traction and lower maintenance.
At A&S Paving, we specialize in tar and chip paving in NJ for homeowners who want an attractive, cost-effective alternative to blacktop. Whether you’re updating an older surface or installing something new, we’ll help you create a driveway that fits your property’s style—and your budget.
When Should You Consider a Tar & Chip Driveway?
If you like the look of gravel but want something more durable, tar and chip is a great middle ground. It’s especially popular for longer rural driveways, country homes, and properties that see light to moderate traffic. You should also consider this method if you’re after lower upfront costs or want a surface that blends in with natural surroundings.
Chip seal driveways are ideal if you’re tired of gravel ruts or want a low-maintenance alternative to traditional asphalt. They’re also a smart choice if you want better grip in winter months—tar and chip’s textured surface performs well in snow and ice.
