TAR AND CHIPPING

You may not be familiar with the term “tar-and-chip”, but it’s a popular surface type that you’ve likely encountered before. This technique involves layering gravel and hot asphalt, which when combined and compressed, results in a surface bearing resemblance to asphalt paving, but exuding the rural charm and warmth of gravel.

Little Rock Asphalt extends expert tar-and-chip paving services to homeowners and businesses across Little Rock. This durable and cost-effective alternative to traditional asphalt is an excellent choice for private and rural roads, driveways, and more.

Asphalt repair Little Rock AR

Pavements that are cracked and crumbling, in either your business or driveway, can be a hazard. If you ignore them, a small repair can become a full surface replacement. We offer preventive maintenance and asphalt repair services for homeowners and business owners in Little Rock.

• Crack filling: Our asphalt repair team can use a rubber hot compound to quickly and effectively fix cracks, fissures and other imperfections on the surface. This will restore its integrity and smoothness.
• Patch Coating is ideal for severe damages like potholes and sunken pavement areas. The process begins with removing damaged asphalt and crumbling surfaces, then filling and leveling. A seamless patch is applied after.
• Seal Coating: Every 3 to 5 Years, seal coating is recommended. It plays an important role in maintaining your asphalt surface. This prevents the surface from drying out, which can lead to cracking. It also gives it a fresh and new look. Select Little Rock Asphalt to handle your asphalt maintenance and repair needs.

CHIP AND SEAL

We offer high-quality services for chip and seal, which combines the rugged appeal of stone with the strength of pavement. The process begins with a hot layer of asphalt, followed by a thin layer of “chips” or loose stones. Then, the chips are firmly pressed in place using a roller. This results in a skid resistant surface which is both cost effective and aesthetically pleasing. Our chipping and sealing service is ideal for parking lots, driveways or private roads. It requires little maintenance.

How Much Does It Cost To Pave A Driveway In 2023?

On average, the cost to pave a driveway usually falls between $3 and $7 per square foot. The national average is $4740.

At Little Rock Asphalt, we aim to offer high-quality paving services at competitive rates, ensuring both durability and aesthetic appeal. For a detailed estimate tailored to your specific project, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

How thick is an asphalt driveway?

After compaction, asphalt driveways should be 2 to 3 inches in thickness. Asphalt is usually installed when it is hot, and it tends to become compacted as it cools. The base of a new asphalt driveway is usually composed of 3 to 4 inch of aggregate, then 2 to 3 inches hot mix asphalt. It depends on what is required for the project and how much weight the driveway should be able to support. If the driveway is expected to carry heavier vehicles, for example, it may require a thicker asphalt layer. Consult a professional for the right thickness.

Is it cheaper to use asphalt or concrete?

Generally, asphalt is cheaper to install than concrete. On average, asphalt costs between $3 to $7 per square foot, while concrete can range from $5 to $10 per square foot. However, these prices can vary based on factors such as local labor and material costs, the complexity of the project, and the current prices of raw materials. While asphalt is often more economical upfront, it’s important to consider other factors such as maintenance costs and longevity when choosing between asphalt and concrete for a paving project.

How do I figure out how much asphalt I need?

Follow these steps to calculate the amount of asphalt that you will need:

• The area that will be paved is measured in square feet.
• Determine the thickness of asphalt required (usually between 2 and 3 inches in driveways).
• The depth in feet is 3 inches (3 inch = 0.25 foot).
• Calculate volume in cubic feet (length x width x depth).
• Volume to weight conversion. Asphalt is usually around 145 pounds/cubic foot. To convert from pounds to tons, multiply by 145 then divide by 2000.

Please note that this is an approximate estimate. Consult a professional to get a more accurate estimate.
