Tar and chip is a cost-effective and durable alternative to traditional asphalt paving. This method involves applying a layer of liquid asphalt, followed by a layer of stone chips that are rolled into the surface, creating a textured, slip-resistant finish.
Tar & Chip is generally more affordable than tarmac. Its simpler installation process and the use of less expensive materials make it an attractive option for budget-conscious projects.
Over time, tarmac may need regular sealing and repairs, whereas tar and chip can naturally age without needing much upkeep, while still maintaining its durability.
