Distinctive Appearance with Superior Grip

Tar and chip paving creates a unique textured surface that offers exceptional traction in all weather conditions. The process involves applying hot liquid asphalt followed by a layer of stone chips that become embedded in the surface. The result is an attractive, stable surface that resists wear and provides excellent drainage.

This method offers the durability of asphalt with a more natural, decorative appearance that many property owners prefer.

Cost-Effective Long-Term Value

Tar and chip surfaces require less maintenance than traditional asphalt and naturally resist damage from freeze-thaw cycles. The stone top layer protects the tar base from UV damage, extending the surface's lifespan. Capitol Paving uses quality materials and proven application techniques to ensure your tar and chip surface performs beautifully for years to come.
