Chip seal paving costs 25–40% less than traditional hot-mix asphalt, making it the ideal surface for long driveways, farm roads, rural lanes, and private roads where you need a durable, professional-grade surface at a fraction of the cost.
Chip seal — also called tar and chip, liquid asphalt, or rock and tar — is a proven road surface treatment that applies a layer of hot liquid asphalt followed by a layer of aggregate stone, then rolled and compacted into a durable surface. It's widely used on Iowa county roads, farm lanes, long rural driveways, and private roads because it provides excellent durability and traction at a significantly lower cost than full hot-mix asphalt paving.
We proudly serve Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, Davenport, Sioux City, Waterloo, Ankeny, Council Bluffs, Ames, Waukee, Dubuque, Fort Dodge, Marshalltown, and agricultural communities across the entire state of Iowa. Call today for a free chip seal estimate.
Chip seal (also called tar and chip) is a surface treatment that sprays liquid asphalt then embeds aggregate stone into it. Hot-mix asphalt is a fully mixed pavement laid in a smooth, continuous layer. Chip seal costs 25–40% less than asphalt, has a more natural textured appearance, and is ideal for rural driveways, farm roads, and long private lanes. Hot-mix asphalt is smoother and better suited for high-traffic commercial lots and urban driveways.
A properly installed chip seal surface typically lasts 7–10 years before resealing is needed. Iowa's freeze-thaw cycles can accelerate wear on improperly prepared surfaces, which is why BB Road Maintenance pays careful attention to base preparation and drainage grading on every chip seal project.
Yes — chip seal is widely used on Iowa county roads and farm lanes specifically because it handles heavy agricultural equipment well. The aggregate surface provides excellent traction and the flexible surface absorbs heavy loads better than rigid surfaces. BB Road Maintenance engineers every farm road chip seal project for the specific traffic loads expected.
Chip seal is actually the ideal surface for long rural driveways — it's significantly less expensive than asphalt for long runs, blends naturally with the rural landscape, and holds up well through Iowa's seasons. As the flyer says, it's super appealing if you have a large driveway or live out in the woods. Call BB Road Maintenance for a free estimate on your rural driveway.
