Chip Seal with Fog Seal

This is video of an older asphalt parking lot that we covered with chip seal and fog seal. As you see, you can put pavement markings down right on top. This was right after a heavy rain, hence the wetness. Second slide is same parking lot before our work.

This can be applied over older asphalt or compacted gravel. Layers of hot tar and pea gravel are put down and pressed together with a roller.

This creates a hard, slightly rough surface. When fog seal is applied over the top, the finished product has a color similar to new asphalt (but a rougher texture). Pavement markings can be applied on top.

This is a good option for community roads and parking lots, as well as homes if you want a look similar to asphalt.

With any of these solutions, the surface will continue to compact for the first several months the product is down.

This can also be applied over older asphalt or compacted gravel. Two layers of hot tar and pea gravel are put down and pressed together with a roller.

The second layer of pea gravel is washed decorative stone. This results in a hard surface with some loose stones on top, and gives a more natural looking finish.

With any of these solutions, the surface will continue to compact for the first several months the product is down.

This can also be applied over older asphalt or compacted gravel. Two layers of hot tar and pea gravel are put down and pressed together with a roller.

This results in a hard surface with some loose stones on top. After several weeks to allow for compaction, the surface may be swept with a power broom to remove loose gravel if desired.
