Why Choose Tar And Chip Surfacing?

What are The Benefits of Tar and Chip?
Tar and chip surfacing is a popular and cost-effective option for both residential and commercial driveways, offering a variety of benefits. One of the main advantages is its affordability. Compared to other surfacing options like tarmac or block paving, tar and chip is much more budget-friendly, making it an attractive choice for those looking to enhance their property without breaking the bank. It provides a smooth, durable surface that can withstand the use of daily traffic, while the textured finish offers excellent grip, reducing the risk of slipping in wet conditions.
Another key benefit of tar and chip surfacing is its versatility. The material can be customised with a range of stone aggregates, allowing you to choose a colour and texture that complements your property’s aesthetic. Additionally, it is a quick installation process with minimal disruption, making it ideal for those looking for a hassle-free solution.

What is Surface Dressing?
Surface dressing is a highly effective method of road and driveway maintenance, involving the application of a hot binder layer, which is then covered with a carefully selected aggregate. The type of binder used varies depending on the size of the aggregate, ensuring the best possible adhesion and durability for the surface. This technique is particularly ideal for surfaces that have developed cracks or wear, offering a cost-efficient way to restore and refresh tired or damaged driveways.
Surface dressing can be applied over a variety of surfaces, including tarmac, asphalt, concrete, and even tar and chip, making it a versatile solution for many types of properties. Whether you’re looking to repair a damaged driveway or enhance the appearance of an older surface, surface dressing offers a quick and durable solution that extends the lifespan of your existing pavement. At KDG Surfacing, we specialise in providing high-quality surface dressing services, tailored to your specific needs, ensuring your surface looks great and stands the test of time.
