I didn't even know what Chip Seal was until recently when they decided to rough up the roads around me and put down tar/asphalt and chips in my area versus removing a couple MM or factions of an inch of road surface to resurface the road. Several years later the chip seal in my area is already wearing out in area's with heavy turning like around some intersections and the cul-de-sac up the road from me that surves a 10 story apartment building.
Very dumb question: is there such a process for driveway cracking with new overlay that is not "black" blacktop? Are tints and colors available which can make the look like standard concrete?
Does anyone know are they superposed to level the county roads before they tar and chip it? where i live they are just putting it on top of extremely ruff surfaces
My county puts down crushed slag. Smells really bad, probably a carcinogen. Doesn’t last two seasons, either. Just gives the workers something to do and the county commissioners can show they’ve spent money. Stop-gap measure to say the least.
Don't forget to mention the thousands of dollars a year you pay private contractors to haul your chip seal rock from one point to the next. Take note the annual budget the county receives and compare that to the amount of "work" they do. Also achd could complete the chip sealing process in one fluid movement yet they leave the rock on the road for weeks at a time so that a majority of the rock gets pushed off onto the side of the road.
Despise this surface!! Very dangerous for motorcycles!! Constantly has loose rock that makes it very easy for tires to slide out from under the rider. Not to mention the groves that get created be vehicles, making for uneven lanes! All it is is a temporary, cheap patch up!!!
If ya know how to do the process the right way, you wouldn’t have any chipped paint or windshields. I do tar and chip on a daily basis for a living. As a matter of fact I’m the main guy for laying chip at my job. And I can lay the stone at the right volume that once it’s rolled stones don’t blow off. Just saying
What a crock of shit ya chip sealing is cheaper doesn’t last near as long as asphalt just maintain asphalt and it lasts chipseal was designed for crack filling years ago I love the woman reading off the q cards lol
I like that you readily admit sht seal is fully an annoying but necessary nuisance.
Thank you for this update. Please try to do a better job around the manhole covers. They are turning into potholes as the added layers accumulate!
chip ’n’ seal” is crap. They installed it on my street and god damn it’s disappointing. I feel like selling the house and moving. Horrible.
Nice job

Seems like a great place to live.
Just use a slurry seal
They just did my road and it looks like scrap. It's very rough looking
Growing up here is why I drive far to the right of side of the road. New windshields are expensive!

Recently the 2nd asphalt coat has been skipped leaving ruts, and extreme bumpy roads
Keep it up
This is the most passive aggressive government video I’ve ever seen 😂😂

They should level it clean it before spraying oil...other way it wont last
Set's up in minutes? An hour later I could push a stick in it
I like...

You can repair small blemishes ..
Please consider adding hemp bast hemicellulose graphene or fiber @15% to the lay down to add no less than 50% strength and durability
beast

The Glass industry in the area probably loves it, They make thousands on chip repairs and windshield replacements
I would educate yourself, you might be surprised by how wrong you actually are.

Slurry seal is way better
How come we dont do this with driveways??
this is mostly applied on some low volume roads
@Steve Kopcial. I agree, it could be a cheaper alternative to a full asphalt driveway.
They do. I'm fixing on getting mine done shortly, that's why I'm watching videos on what chip seal is.
Then the road marking crew put markings outside every single house

Chip Seal ROCKS!
Yeah they still charge you the same amount in taxes
What the hell are they doing with all the money they are supposedly saving? Probably going in someone’s pocket.
Ruins paintwork…
Stare at the idiot cards much, Brenda?
Still nowhere near the level with the Roman roads
Yeah... you care about our safety 🙄 all you care about is money
