Introduction to Chip Sealing

When it comes to commercial property maintenance, the methods applied for driveway and pavement care can significantly impact the property’s aesthetic appeal, cost-effectiveness, and longevity. Amongst the numerous options available is a durable and cost-effective solution known as Chip Sealing. As a prominent solution for driveway and pavement surfaces, chip sealing is widely recognized for its array of advantages over traditional methods. This guide aims to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of chip sealing, emphasizing the process’s essential components, benefits, and how to procure the services of reliable tar & chip driveway contractors.

Understanding the Chip Sealing Process

The process of chip sealing comprises two integral steps. The first involves applying a layer of hot liquid asphalt, also known as the ‘tar’ in tar and chip driveway. This layer serves as a binder, helping to secure the next application securely. Following this, the driveway is spread over with a layer of small stones or chips, which are then embedded into the binder by a roller machine. Once the chips have settled, any excess stones are brushed away, leaving a smooth, attractive surface offering impressive durability and longevity. Whether you have a chip seal driveway or larger commercial properties, this process ensures high-quality surfaces that withstand heavy traffic and an array of weather conditions.

The Benefits of Chip Sealing

With countless options for pavement care, one might wonder why you should opt for chip seal paving specifically. Beyond aesthetics, chip sealing offers multi-faceted advantages that make it a worthy candidate for your commercial property considerations.

Primarily, chip sealing is known for its cost-effectiveness. The materials used in chip and seal driveway methods are inexpensive compared to traditional asphalt or concrete, making this solution an affordable option without compromising quality.

Besides, chip sealing provides enhanced traction. The texture of the chips enables superior grip, making it a safer option, particularly in areas prone to extreme weather conditions like heavy rain or snow.

Furthermore, chip seal driveways require low maintenance and present high durability. These driveways can last up to a decade with minimal maintenance, making them an excellent long-term investment for your commercial property.

Choosing the Right Tar & Chip Driveway Contractors

Selecting the appropriate contractors is just as crucial as picking the right driveway material for your commercial property. Chip seal paving relies heavily on expertise and precision for a successful installation. Thus, retaining the services of experienced and reliable chip and seal paving professionals is vital.

When seeking the ideal contractors, look for quality work samples, positive customer feedback, and a transparent pricing structure. With the right team of professionals, you can have a well-installed chip seal driveway that enhances the appeal and value of your commercial property.

Conclusion: Is Chip Sealing Right for You?

In summary, chip sealing offers a low-cost yet high-quality solution for commercial property road surfacing. Between its easy maintenance, impressive longevity, and appealing aesthetics, a chip seal driveway can provide superb value for commercial property owners.

By pairing this robust surfacing method with competent tar & chip driveway contractors, you can ensure top-notch results that enhance the usability and resale value of your commercial property. So if you’re looking for an affordable, durable, and attractive driveway and pavement solution, chip sealing could indeed be the best choice for you.

About Anchor Bay Shores, Michigan

History

Chesterfield Township was originally established as a general law township in 1842. It became a charter township in 1989.

The original European-American settlement in the area was a hamlet called Chesterfield, first settled in 1830. When the Grand Trunk Railway came through in 1865, it stimulated the development of businesses in the hamlet. It had a post office from 1875 until 1907, but has since lost its specific identity.

Geography

Chesterfield Township is in eastern Macomb County and is bordered on the north by Lenox Township and the village of New Haven; on the east by Ira Township in St. Clair County, and by the village of New Baltimore; on the southeast by Anchor Bay, which is a part of Lake St. Clair; on the south by Harrison Township; and on the west by Macomb Township.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the township has a total area of 30.6 square miles (79 km), of which 27.6 square miles (71 km2) are land and 3.0 square miles (7.8 km), or 9.85%, are water.

Much of Chesterfield Township is dominated by suburban subdivisions and shopping developments; its population is increasingly diverse, reflecting area demographic changes. In 2010 some 89% of the population identified as non-Hispanic whites; in the late 20th century, the largely rural township had an even higher percentage of whites. Anchor Bay influences the southeastern part of the community, where many pleasure boats, docks, and marine-related businesses can be found.

There are nine unincorporated communities in the township and no incorporated villages:
