Reliable Chip Seal Services in Alberta, Okanagan Valley & Greater Vancouver
Chip Seal Paving with Rustic Charm and Rugged Durability
Affordable surface protection for rural roads, lanes, and large properties.
Professional Chip Seal Installation
Chip seal, also known as tar and chip, is a durable and attractive surfacing option especially suited to rural areas. At Eriksson Paving, we offer chip seal applications for clients who want a cost-effective solution that resists weather, wear, and aging. This method involves applying hot liquid asphalt to a prepared surface followed by a layer of crushed aggregate, which is then compacted to create a textured, skid-resistant finish.
Our chip seal surfaces offer excellent grip, ideal for vehicles and foot traffic in all conditions. It provides a charming, country-style finish that suits farm roads, long driveways, and acreage lanes. Eriksson Paving customizes every chip seal project to match your property’s usage and landscape.
Advantages of Chip Seal:
-
Cost-effective vs. full asphalt overlays
-
Excellent traction in wet and icy conditions
-
Visually rustic and blends with natural surroundings
-
Requires less maintenance than gravel roads
-
Can be layered over existing pavement
Our Application Method
After preparing and grading the base, we apply a coat of hot liquid asphalt using a specialized distributor. Immediately afterward, crushed stone chips are evenly spread over the surface and embedded into the asphalt with heavy rollers. After curing, any loose stone is swept away, leaving behind a bonded, clean finish.
