Tar and Chip

Rustic Look. Rock-Solid Performance.

At Alabama Paving Solutions, we know that not every road or driveway needs the smooth blacktop look. For rural properties, long farm driveways, private roads, or anyone seeking a natural aesthetic without sacrificing durability, tar and chip paving is a perfect choice.

Also known as chip seal, tar and chip surfaces offer a cost-effective, low-maintenance, and attractive alternative to traditional asphalt or concrete—especially in the wide-open landscapes of Alabama.

What is Tar and Chip?

Tar and chip is a paving process that combines hot liquid asphalt with layers of stone chips. Once applied, it’s rolled and compacted to create a hard-wearing surface that offers excellent traction, a rustic appearance, and long-lasting strength.

Ideal for:

  • Long farm driveways

  • Private roads and ranch entrances

  • Rural homes and barns

  • Low-traffic commercial properties

  • Churches, campgrounds, and parks

Benefits of Tar and Chip Paving:

  • Cost-Effective – Often more affordable than asphalt or concrete

  • Low Maintenance – No sealcoating required

  • Great Traction – Even in wet or icy conditions

  • Natural Look – Stone surface blends beautifully with rural Alabama scenery

  • Durability – Withstands heat, rain, and heavy loads
