What Is Tar & Chipping?

Also known as surface dressing, tar and chipping involves spraying hot bitumen (tar) onto the prepared surface and covering it with a layer of hard-wearing stone chippings. This process provides a textured, anti-slip surface that improves the look and lifespan of roads, driveways, farm tracks, carparks, and private estates.

Tar & Chipping is a type of re-surfacing in which hot liquid tar is machine sprayed and coated with a choice of size and colour of stone to finish.

  • Farm roads & estate roads
  • Driveways & private lanes
  • Rural carparks & access routes
