Tar & Chip Driveways

What Is a Tar & Chip Driveway?

Tar & chip driveways are created by applying a hot bitumen binder to a prepared surface, followed immediately by a layer of clean, graded stone chippings in a choice of either granite or natural golden Norfolk shingle. These chippings are rolled into the hot bitumen, leaving a natural finish

Unlike block paving or resin, tar & chip does not aim for a perfectly smooth surface. Instead, it delivers a driveway with character, blending naturally into its surroundings.
