Tar & Chip Driveways

A tar and chip driveway offers a practical, hard-wearing surface with a more natural, textured finish than traditional tarmac. It is a popular choice for both residential and rural properties, combining durability with a softer appearance that sits comfortably within its surroundings.

Why choose a Tar & Chip Driveway?

Tar and chip, also known as surface dressing, is created by applying a hot bitumen layer followed by a carefully selected aggregate. The result is a strong, weather-resistant surface that provides excellent grip underfoot and under tyre. It is particularly well suited to driveways, private roads and larger areas where a robust yet cost-effective solution is required.

Because of its flexibility and resilience, tar and chip performs well in changing weather conditions and on a variety of ground types. It is also lower maintenance than many alternative surfaces, making it a sensible long-term choice for busy households and working properties alike.
