Chip Seal Installation

Chip seal is an essential service for maintaining and extending the life of roadways without the high costs associated with traditional asphalt paving. It is a preferred method for many rural and suburban communities due to its cost-effectiveness and simplicity.

What Is Included In Chip Seal Installation?

At Diamond Striping, our Chip Seal Installation Service is a multi-step process that combines layers of asphalt with aggregate to create a durable and textured surface. First, we apply a layer of hot asphalt emulsion to the existing pavement. Immediately following, we spread a single layer of aggregate chips over the emulsion. The chips are then compacted into the binder to ensure adherence and excess stones are swept away.

This process results in a sturdy and weather-resistant surface that stands up well to varying climate conditions and regular use. Chip seal is particularly well-suited for low to moderate traffic areas, where it can last for years with minimal upkeep.

Chip Seal Installation FAQ:

How long does a chip seal surface last?
A properly maintained chip seal surface can last anywhere from 7 to 10 years.
Chip seal is ideal for rural roads, residential streets, and low-traffic areas. It’s not recommended for high-traffic or high-speed roadways.
Vehicles can typically drive on the surface shortly after the compaction process, often the same day the service is completed.
Maintenance typically involves periodic sweeping of loose stones, and depending on wear and tear, a new chip seal layer every few years.
