Tar and chip is a type of road surface treatment used to maintain and extend the life of asphalt and gravel roads. It’s a cost-effective way to repair and protect roads. A layer of liquid asphalt (often referred to as “tar” or “asphalt emulsion”) is sprayed onto an existing road surface. After the tar is applied, small stones or gravel (called “chips”) are spread over the surface. These stones help provide traction and improve the durability of the road. The surface is then rolled with a heavy roller to press the stones into the tar, ensuring they bond securely. The result is a rough, textured surface that offers improved skid resistance and protects the underlying road from wear and weather. This process is often used in rural or less-trafficked areas and is generally less expensive than completely resurfacing roads.
