Tar & Chip Paving Protecting Driveways & Roads Across Calgary

Tar & Chip Is Perfect For Rural Areas

Tar and chip paving otherwise known as chip seal is perfect for rural areas, including Calgary's side roads and averages. It is cost-effective, doesn't require much maintenance, and provides better traction and safety than asphalt. It also has a more natural, rustic look that blends in well with a rural environment.

Better Traction & Durability For Rural Areas

Our family has been paving for over three generations, and we've used to pave high-quality roads across all of Calgary, Edmonton, and the rest of Alberta. Asphalt is ve,ry durable, and when properly maintained can last between 20 - 25 years. Because it is very versatile, it can be molded to fit almost any surface, which makes it ideal for creating driveways and roads.

Our Chipseal Paving Process

From Start To Finish Our Paving Process Is Simple

Before we can start the paving process, we need to prepare the project site. Making sure the base foundation or asphalt is safe and secure.

Sub-base Prep

Prior to starting the paving process, the surface that will be paved needs to be prepared. The preparation required depends on the surface being paved, but generally includes sweeping, removing existing debris, and sealing any existing cracks or repairs to allow for the settling of smooth tarmac.

Asphalt & Chip Paving

The next step in the paving process involves applying liquid asphalt with a special distributor truck to ensure the layer is laid consistently. Then, while the asphalt is still fresh, chipped stones are spread and rolled into hot asphalt by a steam roller. The final result is a natural and aesthetically pleasing finish. Compared to asphalt, chip and seal is quick and convenient, this allows for your driveway to be ready almost immediately after its installation.

Maintenance

Tar-and-chip pavement isn't quite maintenance-free, it doesn't require regular sealing and provides good traction due to its gravel base. Loose chipped stones will occasionally need sweeping, as they can be damaged by snow plowing. This can be avoided by making sure your snowplow doesn't make direct contact with the driveway while plowing.

Chipseal Paving FAQ

Overall, while chipseal paving is a relatively low-maintenance option, some degree of maintenance is necessary to ensure its longevity and performance over time. Regular sweeping, sealing, and repairs as needed can help to extend the life of the pavement and keep it looking its best.

Chipseal paving is low-maintenance, but it does require effort to maintain if you want it to last as long as possible.

1. Sweep: Loose chips can become dislodged from the pavement over time. Sweeping periodically can help to keep the chips in place and prevent the development of potholes.

2. Sealing: When the asphalt binder starts to break down, it can lead to cracks and other damage. Sealing the surface of the pavement will help prevent water from penetrating the asphalt.

3. Repairs: If too much damage occurs, it will be important to repair it. This can involve removing and replacing damaged areas and applying a new layer of chip seal over the existing pavement.

The cost of a chip paving project in Calgary varies depending on a number of factors:

1. The biggest factor is the size of the project. The more surface that needs to be paved the more expensive it will be.

2. The condition of the surface that needs to be paved impacts how long it takes to finish the project, the more deteriorated the surface, the longer it will take to prepare for paving.

3. Access to the job site also has a big impact, the more difficult it is to access the area the longer the job will take to finish.

On average, the cost of chip seal paving works out between $2 to $5 per square foot. But, keep in mind the above factors, and that a lack of available material can increase the price. Make sure to talk to several professional paving companies before making our final selection, and never choose the cheapest.
