Why Choose Chip Seal Paving in Central Texas?
Built for Driveways, Roads and Ranch Properties
We build tough roads for tough terrain. Chip seal is ideal for residential ranch roads and long private driveways. We start with a solid gravel base, add hot liquid asphalt, and finish with crushed stone. Then we roll it tight.
This creates a durable surface with natural traction, perfect for any payload. It’s also ideal for urban driveways, subdivision streets, business parks, school roads, and access drives across every type of property
Natural Look That Blends with the Land
Chip seal paving has a rustic look that suits Texas landscapes. The textured surface enhances curb appeal while keeping that country feel. Homeowners can choose aggregate tones within reason that match the property. The result? A driveway that blends with the beauty of the land, not a slab of city street.
Durability in Tough Texas Conditions
From summer heat to icy winters, tar and chip driveways are built to last. Our installation process uses hot liquid bitumen, rolled and sealed to block out water and resist small cracks.
No more worrying about frequent repairs or constant upkeep. This durability makes it perfect for high-traffic commercial lots, city roads, and even industrial surfaces facing heavy machinery.
Our Tar and Chip Paving Services
Chip Seal Driveways in Central to South Texas
A tar and chip driveway gives you the best of both worlds. It costs less than an asphalt driveway, stays cooler, and doesn’t crack like concrete.
We grade for drainage, install layers, and seal the top for strength that performs in every season. This approach works well not just for rural driveways, but also for residential streets and commercial drive entries.
No Road to Long
From Regular driveways to multi mile acre access, we use durable materials and smart grading for lasting results. No loose stones, no patch jobs.

Comparing Chip Seal vs Asphalt Paving
Cost
Tar and chip paving often costs 25% to 40% less than asphalt paving. That’s real savings for long driveways or multi-lane roads.
Appearance
Chip seal just looks right in Texas, especially on ranch properties. Not like a city street.
Maintenance
This method is known for low maintenance. It resists small cracks, keeps its form, and doesn’t need frequent sealing.
Seasonal Challenges in Texas and How We Handle Them
Summer
Heat softens some materials, but not ours. We use liquid asphalt that cures fast and stays compact.
Fall
Falling leaves can block seal bonding. We clean every surface thoroughly before installation.
Winter
Cold snaps can break weak roads. We install strong bases and graded drainage to avoid damage.
Spring
Rain means erosion. We crown and seal roads so water flows off instead of soaking in.
