Decorative stone chippings rolled hard into hot binder — a rugged, grippy, natural finish that's right at home on driveways, courtyards and country lanes.
A sprayed-bitumen, stone-dressed surface with a natural, gravelled look — hard-wearing, high-grip and right at home on rural drives.
A sound base, hot bitumen and the right chip — rolled in tight for a surface that holds together.
We level and consolidate the existing base ready to dress.
Weak areas are dug out and rebuilt with compacted Type 1.
A hot bitumen binder is sprayed evenly across the prepared base.
Stone chippings are spread over the binder and rolled in tight.
A modern evolution of a sixty-year regional legacy. We pair decades of inherited, hands-on site expertise with strict engineering standards — and we don't subcontract, cut corners on the sub-base, or disappear after handover. And because it's all delivered in-house, you get that standard at a cost-effective price.

A tar and chip surface typically lasts 10–15 years. It's hard-wearing and well suited to rural drives, longer lanes and access roads.
Usually, yes — especially over larger areas. It's a cost-effective way to surface a long driveway or access road with plenty of character.
A little surplus chip can lift in the first few weeks as it settles, which sweeps up easily. Once bedded into the binder, the stone stays locked in place.
A good range — granite, flint and buff among them — so you can match the finish to your property and its surroundings.
Yes. The textured surface gives excellent grip, which makes tar and chip a strong choice for sloped drives and rural access.
