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.
