A Durable, Attractive Alternative to Traditional Asphalt
Tar and chip surfacing combines the strength of an asphalt-based surface with the natural appearance and texture of stone. It is an excellent option for property owners who want a durable, practical surface without the uniform blacktop appearance of conventional asphalt.
Suitable for everything from residential driveways and country properties to private roads, laneways and larger commercial areas, tar and chip provides a distinctive finish that blends naturally with its surroundings while standing up to regular vehicle traffic.
At Tar & Chip Toronto, we bring 60 years of surfacing experience to every project. Our installations are professionally prepared and completed using quality materials, with workmanship backed by a 10-year comprehensive warranty.

What is Tar and Chip?
The result is a strong, textured surface with the attractive appearance of natural stone.
Proper preparation is an important part of the installation. Before surfacing begins, the existing driveway, road or access area should be assessed for grading, drainage and base condition. When required, improvements can be made to create a suitable foundation before the tar and stone are applied.

Tar & Chip or Asphalt: What is the Difference?
Tar & Chip vs. Asphalt
Traditional asphalt creates a smooth, uniform black surface.
Tar and chip creates a more textured surface with visible stone aggregate and a natural appearance.
The best option depends on the property, the condition of the existing base, drainage, intended vehicle use, desired appearance and budget.
Our team can assess the area and explain which surfacing option is best suited to the property before work begins.
Ideal Uses for Tar and Chip
Where Can Tar & Chip Be Used?
Careful Preparation for Better Results
Professional Preparation Matters
Before installing tar and chip, we assess the existing surface, grading, drainage and base condition. Where necessary, the area can be graded, compacted or improved to create a suitable foundation.
Once the preparation is complete, the asphalt binder is applied, followed by clean stone aggregate, which is then rolled firmly into the surface to create the finished tar and chip appearance.
Our focus is on doing the preparation correctly so the completed surface is neat, practical and built for everyday use.
