Chip and Seal Paving with DJS Asphalt: A Durable, Budget-Friendly Alternative to Traditional Asphalt

At DJS Asphalt, we offer a variety of paving solutions to meet the unique needs of our residential and commercial customers—and one of the most versatile and cost-effective options is chip and seal paving. This method provides a rugged, attractive surface that offers durability, traction, and a natural look at a fraction of the cost of traditional asphalt.

Chip and seal is a paving method that combines liquid asphalt with a layer of crushed stone (chips) to create a textured, sealed surface. The process involves spraying a hot asphalt emulsion onto a prepared base, then immediately applying a layer of stone chips over the top. These chips are then pressed into the asphalt using a heavy roller, bonding the materials together and creating a durable driving surface.

Chip and seal is budget-friendly, offers a textured look, is great for low-traffic areas and is easy to maintain and repair. 

Chip and seal is a great option for those who want a natural-looking surface that holds up well in various weather conditions, without the price tag of a full asphalt installation.

Is DJS the Right Chip and Seal Partner For You?

If you're looking for a strong, cost-effective paving option with a more rustic finish—chip and seal could be the perfect fit. It's ideal for long rural driveways, private roads, farm lanes, ranch properties, and light-traffic commercial areas where traction, durability, and visual appeal matter. Chip and seal offers a textured, natural-looking surface that blends beautifully with the surrounding landscape, all while providing a tough, weather-resistant finish that holds up year after year.

Unlike traditional asphalt, chip and seal doesn’t require as much ongoing maintenance. It’s a smart choice for property owners who want a dependable surface without the higher cost of full asphalt paving. Plus, the added grip from the stone chips makes it a great option for hilly areas or regions prone to rain and snow.

At DJS Asphalt, we’ll walk you through your options and help you decide whether chip and seal is the right solution for your specific needs and budget. We use high-quality materials, modern equipment, and proven techniques to ensure every project meets our high standards for performance and appearance.
