Chip Seal & Tar and Chip Paving Nationwide β€” The Smart Alternative to Asphalt

RCD Paving is a nationwide chip seal and tar and chip paving contractor serving residential, agricultural, and commercial customers across all 50 states. Chip seal paving costs 25–40% less than traditional hot-mix asphalt, making it the ideal surface for long driveways, farm roads, rural lanes, private roads, and access roads where you need a durable, professional-grade surface at a significantly lower cost.

What Is Chip Seal Paving?

Chip seal β€” also called tar and chip, liquid asphalt, or rock and tar β€” is a proven road surface treatment that applies a layer of hot liquid asphalt followed by a layer of aggregate stone, then rolled and compacted into a durable surface. It is widely used on county roads, farm lanes, long rural driveways, and private roads across the United States because it delivers excellent durability and traction at a fraction of the cost of full hot-mix asphalt paving.

Where Chip Seal Works Best

Chip seal is the go-to surface for long rural driveways, farm lanes, ranch entrances, private roads, subdivision roads, and access roads where asphalt would be cost-prohibitive over long distances. It blends naturally into rural and wooded landscapes, handles heavy agricultural equipment traffic, and holds up well through freeze-thaw cycles, extreme heat, and heavy rain across any region of the country.

Chip Seal vs. Asphalt β€” Which Is Right for You?

Hot-mix asphalt is the right choice for high-traffic commercial lots, urban driveways, and surfaces that need a smooth finish. Chip seal is the right choice when you need to cover long distances, pave rural or agricultural roads, or get a professional-grade surface at a lower cost. RCD Paving will give you an honest recommendation based on your specific project β€” we never oversell a more expensive surface when chip seal will serve you just as well.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between chip seal and asphalt?

Chip seal applies hot liquid asphalt then embeds aggregate stone into it, creating a textured surface. Hot-mix asphalt is a fully mixed pavement laid in a smooth continuous layer. Chip seal costs 25–40% less than asphalt, has a natural textured appearance, and is ideal for rural driveways, farm roads, and long private lanes. Hot-mix asphalt is smoother and better suited for high-traffic commercial lots and urban driveways where appearance and smoothness are priorities.

How long does chip seal last?

A properly installed chip seal surface typically lasts 7–10 years before resealing is needed. Longevity depends heavily on base preparation, drainage, and traffic levels. RCD Paving pays careful attention to base preparation and drainage grading on every chip seal project to maximize surface life regardless of climate or location.

Can chip seal handle farm equipment and heavy trucks?

Yes β€” chip seal is used on county roads and farm lanes across America specifically because it handles heavy agricultural equipment well. The aggregate surface provides excellent traction and the flexible surface absorbs heavy loads effectively. RCD Paving engineers every farm road chip seal project for the specific traffic loads and equipment types expected on your property.

Is chip seal a good choice for a long rural driveway?

Chip seal is often the ideal choice for long rural driveways β€” it is significantly less expensive than asphalt over long distances, blends naturally with rural and wooded landscapes, and holds up well through all seasons. For homeowners with a long driveway out in the country, chip seal delivers a professional paved surface at a cost that makes the project actually feasible.
