Tar and Chip Driveway Contractors Kerry

Secure a fantastic deal today by having Drivebuild install a tar and chip driveway in Kerry. Tar and chip driveways offer excellent value for those aiming to refresh an old driveway without breaking the bank.

There are various colour options available for the hot tar and chip coating, such as gold, silver, granite, and flint chippings. This method is suitable for any type of driveway, including expansive areas, parking lots and private roads.

We will start by setting up the base and then levelling the driveway using our equipment to ensure a firm and even surface for the new layer. We also make sure to address any weak spots or potholes.

If applying over an existing surface, we will thoroughly clean it, removing all debris and weeds. This ensures a solid bond between the old and new layers.

A layer of hot bitumen will be applied. In some cases, we may apply two or three layers, depending on the surface type and our assessment for optimal performance. This decision is made in consultation with our engineers.

Your choice of chip will then be spread over the hot tar. This needs to occur while the bitumen is hot to ensure it adheres properly to the chip.

After applying a couple of layers of chip, depending on the amount of tar used, we will use a machine to roll the chip into the driveway.

At this point, the new driveway is ready for use, though some loose chips may appear initially and will settle over time, leaving a robust new tar and chip driveway.
