Why choose tar and chip?
What has made tar and chip so popular with property owners all over Essex? Well, it results in a really natural looking surface, which makes it suitable for all kinds of properties. Whether you have a period home or a modern business premises, it will accentuate your property and blend in perfectly. It’s also incredibly hard-wearing and provides great traction, making it ideal for areas that see a lot of heavy use on a daily basis. Tar and chip is also totally weatherproof, and can stand up to the extremes of both summer and winter with absolute ease. It’s also very affordable, making it an option for a really wide range of property owners.
About us
Why should you choose KDG Surfacing? Well, we have over 20 years of experience to our name, and that experience allows us to work quickly while ensuring that no corners are being cut. We are able to work within a variety of timeframes and can work quickly to meet short deadlines when required. We know that this is particularly important to business owners who do not want access to their property disrupted for a prolonged period of time. Our tar and chip contractors always use qualified tradespeople, and never scrimp when it comes to materials either. So you can be sure of a finished product of the highest quality.
Our two decades of experience have made us the tar and chip supplier Essex customers know they can rely on. Our main area of expertise is driveways, but we have worked on a huge range of projects and would be happy to talk about your particular requirements with you in more detail. How do we carry out our work? Firstly, we lay the materials on a concrete or tarmac base. We then apply a tar and chip finish over this base, press-rolling this onto a bitumen tar surface to ensure a smooth finish. This results in a really uniform look that retains a natural appearance and is a great alternative to both tarmac and block paving.
As well as being experts in tar and chip, we are also a leading provider of surface dressing services in Essex. We perform this by putting down a hot layer of binder, before covering it with a chosen aggregate. Many different kinds of aggregate are available to our customers, and we will be able to point you in the direction of the right one for you. Surface dressing is a brilliant option if your existing driveway is in need of a number of repairs, and it can also be applied over tar and chip.

Frequently Asked Questions
Below are some of the frequently asked questions we often receive from our customers. We’ve provided clear answers to help you better understand our surfacing materials, installation processes, and how to maintain a long-lasting finish.
Yes, coastal exposure in Essex can bring more salt, moisture and wind-blown debris. For that reason we may recommend bitumen or binder grades more resistant to salt spray and ensure robust drainage to protect the tar-and-chip surface in such settings.
Driveway entries onto suburban roads may need good visibility, proper kerb drop, and a durable surface. We ensure the tar-and-chip finish at the entrance is well anchored, the fall is correct for drainage, and slip resistance is optimised for vehicles turning in busy Essex neighbourhoods.
While tar-and-chip is relatively low-maintenance, in Essex you should plan for periodic sweeping of loose chips, checking that drainage remains clear (especially after autumn leaf-fall and winter storms), and prompt repairs of any surface damage to protect the chip finish from weather cycle effects.
