About Chip Sealing
Introduction to Chip Sealing
When it comes to maintaining and preserving the longevity of commercial properties, particularly road surfaces, Chip Sealing is a top-notch solution. It is a proven, efficient and cost-effective method used by municipalities and property owners worldwide. This comprehensive guide explores the process, benefits, and usage of Chip Sealing, ensuring a deeper understanding of why it is the preferred choice for many.
Understanding Chip Sealing
The process of Chip Sealing involves applying a layer of asphalt followed by crushed rock or “chip” to a road surface. The asphalt acts as a binder, adhering the chip to the road and forming a protective armor that seals the underlying surface from damages caused by water and sun. As its main advantage, Chip Sealing significantly extends the life of driveways and pavements due to its resilience and durability.
Importance of a Chip Seal Driveway
Investing in a chip seal driveway for commercial properties yields several benefits. Besides giving your property a classic, rustic look, it also provides a durable surface that can withstand heavy traffic and adverse weather conditions. Chip seal driveways have lower maintenance costs, as the need for regular repairs is minimized. Furthermore, they also offer excellent traction, reducing the risk of slips and falls making it safer for pedestrians and vehicles.
Benefits of Chip and Seal Driveway Application
Commercial properties can gain substantially from chip and seal driveway application. An efficient tar and chip driveway proves to be weather-resistant, rendering exposure to rain, heat, and cold less damaging. The rough surface creates better traction, preventing sliding during wet conditions. Additionally, the different stone colors available for chip and seal driveways also enhance the aesthetics of the property.
Role of Tar and Chip Driveway Contractors
Tar & chip driveway contractors play a crucial role in executing a precise chip seal application. With their expertise, quality materials, and advanced equipment, these professionals ensure that the chip seal application is conducted in an optimal manner. Conducting a local search to find contractors in your city or region promises both convenience and prompt service.
Diving into Chip Seal Paving
Chip seal paving is an advantageous method for both new driveways and maintenance of existing ones. This process offers an economical and aesthetically pleasing alternative to conventional hot mix asphalt. With natural visual appeal and excellent durability, chip seal paving provides a rough and durable surface that stands up well to traffic and weather, demanding less frequent maintenance.
More about Chip and Seal Paving
Chip and seal paving is a multi-step process that starts with a layer of hot liquid asphalt followed by the application of a layer of aggregate chips. The longevity of the chip and seal paving depends on the quality of the materials used, the skillset of the contractor, and regular upkeep. If appropriately executed, it can serve for 7 to 10 years before needing a new seal coat.
Concluding Chip Sealing
In conclusion, it is apparent that chip sealing stands as a superior, cost-effective method for maintaining commercial properties. It encompasses different techniques such as chip seal driveways, tar and chip driveways, and chip seal paving. The roles of tar & chip driveway contractors are pivotal in assuring better results with their skills and experience. Chip seal proves to be a strategically wise decision for your commercial properties, lowering maintenance costs and enhancing heat and water resistance while providing an appealing aesthetic touch.
For anyone seeking a durable and affordable driveway solution for their commercial property, chip sealing is an excellent choice.

History
Harrison was first designated as the new centralized location of the county seat of Clare County in 1877. It would become a replacement for Farwell, which was the first county seat when Clare County was formally organized in 1871. The Flint and Pere Marquette Railroad platted the village in 1879 and set aside property for a new county government after the previous courthouse in Farwell burned down. The Harrison post office opened on January 27, 1880 and was named after former president William Henry Harrison. The new community incorporated as a village in 1885 and later as a city in 1891.
