Why Choose Tar and Chip?

Tar and chip paving combines a layer of hot liquid asphalt with clean, evenly sized stone chips, which are rolled into place to create a textured, slip-resistant surface. It’s been used for decades on rural roads and driveways because it offers:

• Lower Cost than Asphalt – Often 30–50% less expensive than traditional blacktop.

• Rural Aesthetic – Blends naturally with farmland and country landscapes.

• Durability – Holds up well to heavy farm equipment, trucks, and seasonal weather.

• Low Maintenance – No need for frequent sealcoating or resurfacing.

Perfect for Farms and Large Properties

For farms and rural properties around Gallatin, Springfield, Columbia, Franklin, and Hendersonville, tar and chip is a smart choice for:

• Farm Roads – Strong enough for tractors, livestock trailers, and heavy trucks.

• Parking Pads – Affordable for large areas used for RVs, trailers, or farm equipment.

• Private Roads – Keeps dust down and provides a stable, attractive surface.

Tar and Chip vs. Asphalt

While asphalt creates a smooth, sleek surface, tar and chip’s textured finish offers better traction in wet and icy conditions. It’s also less prone to heat-related softening, making it a great choice for Tennessee’s hot summers.
