A Comprehensive Guide to Chip Sealing Commercial Properties
Optimizing the appearance and durability of your commercial properties requires making strategic decisions about your pavement solutions. One of the most efficient methods for ensuring both aesthetic and functional longevity is chip sealing. In this comprehensive guide, we delve into the process and benefits of chip sealing, offering practical insights and tips about this prevalent paving technique. We’ll also explore the relevance of the commonly used supporting keywords, carving a rich understanding of this crucial topic.
Understanding Chip Sealing
Chip sealing, or ‘chip and seal driveway’ as it’s often referred to, is a surfacing method that combines asphalt and stone to create a robust and beautiful driveway. This method is also commonly known as ‘tar and chip driveway’. It is a favorite choice among commercial property owners and managers due to its resilience, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness. But best of all, it’s a practical way to maintain the appeal of your driveway and parking lots while ensuring longevity.
The Process of Chip Sealing
The process of chip sealing involves multiple steps, each crucial to the overall effectiveness and durability of the result. Tar & chip driveway contractors begin by applying a layer of hot liquid asphalt to the existing pavement. Once the asphalt application is complete, a layer of crushed stones is spread compacted onto the hot tar, creating a strong bond that seals the surface. This process is surpassed by none when it comes to creating durable and reliable driveways or parking lots for commercial properties.
Chip Seal Driveway VS Traditional Paving
When comparing chip seal driveway to traditional asphalt or concrete paving, the benefits of chip sealing become increasingly apparent. Chip seal paving offers a unique blend of cost-effectiveness and durability that traditional methods simply can’t match. Regular asphalt or concrete paving might wear out within a decade, but a well-maintained chip sealed driveway can last for 15-20 years with minimal maintenance, promising a greater return on investment.
Advantages of Chip and Seal Paving
One of the main advantages of chip and seal paving is its flexibility. This paving technique adapts to weather changes and traffic patterns, expanding and contracting without cracking or breaking. This makes it uniquely resilient to weathering and aging compared to standard asphalt. Moreover, chip and seal paving offers various color and texture choices, which can greatly enhance the curb appeal of your commercial property. Hence, this approach also provides you with an aesthetic edge.
Selecting Chip Seal Paving Contractors
Choosing the right tar & chip driveway contractors for your commercial property is an essential step in achieving the desired results. Established chip seal paving contractors have specialist knowledge and equipment necessary for the task. An excellent contractor will understand your requirements, assess your property, and provides a fair estimate for their services. Don’t settle for less; choose a contractor that brings expertise, experience, and integrity to the table for the best results.
Conclusion
In conclusion, chip sealing is an excellent solution for commercial properties due to its durability, flexibility, and aesthetic appeal. It offers a cost-effective and long-lasting solution to keep your property’s outdoor areas beautiful and well-maintained. Whether you’re installing a new driveway or refreshing an old one, chip sealing is a reliable choice that provides an immense return on investment. However, remember to select a reputable and experienced contractor to enjoy these benefits fully.

About Lottivue, 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.
Communities
There are nine unincorporated communities in the township and no incorporated villages:
- Anchor Bay Gardens is located off Jefferson Avenue at Sunrise Street and Jans Drive (42°38′34″N 82°48′45″W / 42.64278°N 82.81250°W; Elevation: 571 ft./174 m.).
- Anchor Bay Harbor is located on Jefferson Avenue south of Anchor Bay Gardens, between Sugerbush and Cotton roads (42°39′19.1″N 82°47′56.7″W / 42.655306°N 82.799083°W; Elevation: 577 ft./176 m.).

The first post office in the township was established here in 1837 in the house of Robert O. Milton, with the name of “New Haven Post Office”. When this was moved to New Haven, Alfred D. Rice established another post office in Milton. That post office closed at some point, and another was opened in January 1856, with Edmund Matthews as postmaster. This office operated until July 1904. Milton was home to a school, three churches, a doctor, a blacksmith, and a couple of saloons. The last saloon survived until 2004, when it was torn down, at that time it was known as the “Teddy Bear Bar.” The school, known as Milton School, was incorporated into another building, which was torn down in 2002.
