Chip and Tar Paving for Affordable Resurfacing
Chip and tar, also known as chip sealing, is one of the most economical resurfacing methods available. It creates a durable, textured surface that withstands high temperatures and rain, making it a popular choice throughout rural and suburban parts of the Memphis region.
Chip and tar paving is ideal for:
- Private driveways
- Long rural roads
- Farm paths
- Commercial properties with low to moderate traffic
Because it offers a lower cost compared to traditional asphalt overlays while still delivering strong performance, many homeowners and property owners choose chip and tar as a cost-effective alternative.
Excavation and Site Preparation
A pavement surface is only as strong as the foundation beneath it. Our excavation crew provides safe, efficient site preparation that includes clearing, grading, and base work. Proper preparation ensures your pavement drains well, resists shifting, and remains stable through Memphis heat and heavy rainfall.
Sealcoating for Protection and Longevity
Sealcoating is essential for protecting asphalt from UV rays, oil spills, water penetration, and regular wear. Memphis experiences hot summers, rainy springs, and frequent storms, all of which can break down unprotected pavement. Our sealcoating services create a protective layer that extends the life of your asphalt and keeps it looking sharp.
