Chip sealing is a nifty way to give roads, parking lots, and other paved areas a fresh look. It’s like giving your driveway a facelift. Here’s how it works:
How Chip Sealing Works
Chip sealing, also known as asphalt sealing, is all about protecting and improving the surface of roads and parking lots. First, we spray an asphalt emulsion on the surface, and then we cover it with crushed stone. This sealant shields the surface from weathering, improves grip, and reduces skidding.
But here’s the magic: it also protects the underlying asphalt from breaking down due to oxygen exposure. When asphalt molecules meet oxygen, they create little crystals that lead to cracks, potholes, and a bumpy ride. Chip sealing fills in cracks and gives a protective layer to slow down this process.
The Chip Sealing Steps
We get the surface ready by cleaning it and using a special asphalt emulsion (that’s like glue to help the sealant stick).
We spray on the sealant with a special truck.
Next comes a layer of crushed stone.
We roll the stones into place with a special truck.
The surface needs 24-48 hours to set before you can use it.
Affordable and Durable
Chip sealing is budget-friendly, and it’s low-maintenance. Just a sweep or brush now and then to remove debris, and you’re good.
The chip seal can last from 3 to 7 years, depending on factors like traffic, weather, and how well it was first installed.
The Cost
The price varies depending on factors like the project size, materials used, location, and the contractor. On average, it’s around $3 per square foot.
Factors Affecting Costs
Things like the number of sealant coats, the use of a primer, how much asphalt is needed, and any excavation can affect costs.
We pay attention to the details, making sure your chip seal paving project has the proper water flow and even edges.
Our finished work not only improves your property's appearance but also enhances its curb appeal and value, providing an excellent return on your investment.
We work closely with you to design a chip seal paving plan that matches your specific needs and preferences.
Give us a call to set up a meeting. We'll come to check out your road or driveway, chat about what you need, and give you a detailed estimate, including all costs.
If you're happy with the estimate and want to go ahead, we'll give you a contract that explains the project details, like what we'll do, when, how you'll pay, and any guarantees.
Before we start laying the new chip seal, we'll clear the area, make sure it it graded properly, and level it. Then, we'll put down the base, the stone, and then the sealant.
