Professional Chip Sealing in Austin, TX

Chip Sealing is a process that combines a layer of asphalt with a layer of aggregates (chips). It is commonly used as a cost effective alternative to full asphalt laying.

Chip Sealing Maintenance and Lifespan

A chip-sealed surface can last up to 7-10 years with proper maintenance. This maintenance includes regularly sweeping of loose chips after installation and periodically thereafter. It may also require minor repairs and patches to ensure the quality and maintain surface integrity. Overall, chip sealing is a cost effective alternative to regular asphalt laying, but it will not have the smooth surface or lifespan of full asphalt. 

Benefits of Chip Sealing:
  • Cost-Effective- Chip sealing is less expensive than full asphalt paving.
  • Durability- It provides a tough, weather-resistant surface that can last up to 7–10 years with proper maintenance.
  • Fast Installation- The process is quicker than full asphalt paving, minimizing disruption.
  • Seals and Protects- The liquid asphalt seals small cracks and prevents water from seeping into the base, reducing the risk of damage from freeze-thaw cycles.
