Chip Seal Built for Texas Roads

The Surface

Stone, binder, and a road ready to hold them

Chip seal starts with asphalt binder or emulsion applied to a prepared road. Aggregate follows while the binder is ready, then rollers seat the stone. The finished road has a textured look and feel that belongs in the Texas landscape.

It is its own paving system. It is not hot-mix asphalt, and it is not a maintenance coat painted over old pavement.

• A natural aggregate finish
• A coordinated application and rolling operation
• A practical surface for long roads and large properties

Where It Earns Its Keep

A strong fit for roads with some distance to cover

Ranch entrances, private roads, commercial access lanes, community roads, and long drives are where chip seal shows its value. The choice starts with how the route is used and what kind of finish the owner wants.

• Ranch and working-property roads
• Long private and shared roads
• Commercial and private-community access
• Rural driveways and entrances

Good Work Starts Early

Get the road into shape before the trucks roll

Soft spots, deep ruts, loose material, poor edges, and places that hold water need attention before surfacing. The preparation may be as important as the finish, because the new surface will follow the road beneath it.

The Paving Run

Binder, aggregate, and rolling move as one crew

Once the road is ready, the operation moves with purpose. Binder or emulsion goes down, aggregate covers it, and rolling presses the stone into place. Clean coverage, sound timing, and steady equipment work matter from one end of the route to the other.

The First Miles

A new chip-seal road settles in with use and cleanup

Some loose stone is normal at first. Rolling and controlled traffic help seat the surface, and sweeping clears excess aggregate. Rafferty Paving gives owners the driving and care instructions that fit the day’s work.

Choose With Confidence

See the road, then choose the finish

Chip seal and asphalt look different, feel different, and are built differently. A straight comparison considers the route, the work required to prepare it, and the finish that belongs on the property.
