Surface preparation is key to a flawless finish—we clear, grade, and prime the area for optimal adhesion and longevity. Before any paving begins, the area must be properly prepared.
Once the base is properly prepared and compacted, a hot liquid asphalt binder is applied. This binder is the key to holding the stone chips in place and creating a strong, resilient surface.
With the asphalt binder still hot and sticky, the next step is to spread a layer of aggregate chips. The stone chips serve as the protective and durable top layer for the chip seal surface.
Once the stone chips are applied, they need to be embedded into the asphalt binder. This is achieved through a process of rolling and compacting with specialized machinery, such as pneumatic or steel drum rollers
After the rolling and compaction process, there will likely be some loose stone chips that didn’t fully adhere to the asphalt binder. These loose chips are swept away to create a clean, finished surface.
A final inspection ensures that the chip seal surface is smooth, properly compacted, and free of any defects. The area may be closed to traffic for a short period to allow the binder to fully set and the stones to properly embed into the surface.
