Chip and Tar Driveway Surface Dressing

Chip and Tar Driveway or Surface dressing, is a cost-effective way to refresh roads, driveways, and car parks while improving durability and grip. This method involves applying a layer of bitumen emulsion followed by stone chippings, creating a textured, skid-resistant surface that also seals and protects the underlying structure.

Chip and Tar is ideal for repairing worn or weathered surfaces, surface dressing helps prevent water damage, reduces wear, and enhances traction. Available in a range of natural stone finishes, it provides a traditional yet robust alternative to standard asphalt—perfect for blending into rural and residential settings.
