When we create a paved surface using chip seal, we use the same materials used for an asphalt surface. The primary difference is the method we use to put them all together. First, we apply a thin layer of hot asphalt to the area being paved. Then, we spread the “chips” or small aggregates over the top of the hot asphalt. Then we use specialized equipment to compress and compact the chips and asphalt. This ensures maximum adherence of the two substances. Finally, excess stone is cleared from the paved surface. The rock pieces are visible in the final product. This rougher surface is what provides extra traction for vehicles.

Over time, asphalt surfaces show signs of damage. At Action Asphalt, we use sealcoating to repair cracks and potholes that appear on driveways, parking lots, and other paved surfaces. Professional sealcoating is a cost-effective, affordable solution used to repair and protect asphalt. The treatment method is suitable for use on small or large projects from residential driveways to large commercial parking lots. Seal coating restores and improves the aesthetic appearance of the property and creates a protective barrier from a wide range of damaging elements, including:

Action Asphalt specializes in creating smooth, flat asphalt surfaces for homeowners and businesses. Blacktop or asphalt driveways are an economical choice when it comes to paved surfaces. Just because it is an inexpensive option doesn’t mean it is an inferior product. Just a little maintenance and an asphalt drive can last for 30 years or more. What is the secret to its longevity? Great workmanship! The secret is in laying a solid foundation of good soil, then providing six inches of crushed gravel covered in high-quality asphalt.
