Traditional Hot Tar & Chip Surfacing

Hot tar and chip surfacing (also known as surface dressing) provides a proven, affordable solution for driveways, private roads, and large areas. The process involves applying a layer of hot bitumen binder followed by stone chippings, which are then rolled in for a tough, long-lasting finish.

This method offers a natural, rustic appearance with excellent grip and durability — making it ideal for both rural and residential environments.

Benefits of Hot Tar & Chip

Cost-Effective

Provides a hard-wearing surface at a fraction of the cost of traditional asphalt or block paving.

Durable & Low-Maintenance

Withstands heavy use and harsh weather conditions with minimal upkeep required.

Attractive Finish

Available in a range of stone colours for a natural, textured look that complements rural surroundings.

Where Hot Tar & Chip Works Best

This versatile surfacing technique is ideal for a variety of applications, including domestic driveways, farm roads, estate lanes, and larger commercial areas. It provides great traction underfoot and vehicle use while blending naturally with the landscape.

It’s also a great option for refreshing older tarmac or concrete surfaces without the need for complete excavation or replacement.
