A tar and chip driveway will last about 10 years with minimal maintenance. In fact, small cracks often self-heal over time. After around 10 years, you can add an additional seal layer to extend your tar and chip driveway’s lifespan and keep it in top shape without having to pay for a full driveway replacement.

You have plenty of options when it comes to the look of your tar and chip driveway. Tar and chip driveways can come in colors like black, gray, beige, red, green, and more. The color depends on the stones and additives used. This means you can choose a look that perfectly matches your home's style and boosts your curb appeal.

With chip seal, layers of hot liquid asphalt and loose stones are applied separately at your site. In contrast, asphalt paving uses a pre-mixed blend. Chip seal creates a naturally textured and durable surface with great traction. The process involves careful layering and compacting on-site to lock everything in place.
