RESIDENTIAL AND MUNICIPAL OIL & CHIP

Oil and chip covers the existing road with a layer of oil and stone that seals the blacktop and provides a wearable surface at a fraction of the cost of resurfacing.

RESIDENTIAL OIL & CHIP

Martin Paving also provides oil and chip services for residential driveways. Decorative oil and chip is a unique way to set a driveway apart from others.


Applying a layer of oil and spreading colored stone on top of it will achieve a rustic yet durable driveway surface. Martin Road Oil offers red stone, brown stone, and river stone coverings. Oil and chip is also an attractive option for long driveways that may need some attention but not necessarily a blacktop overlay. Oil and chip should be placed on top of asphalt paving, not be used in place of it.


Martin Paving is happy to provide samples of the types of stone we keep in stock as well as answer questions about the oil and chip process. We can also look into acquiring other types or colors of stones.

MUNICIPAL OIL & CHIP

Martin Paving entered the oil and chip business in 1986 with Martin Road Oil, which serves local municipalities by extending the life of roads at an affordable price.


Oil and chip, also known as Bituminous Seal Coat or Chip Seal, covers an existing road with a layer of oil and stone that seals blacktop and provides a wearable surface at a fraction of the cost of resurfacing. This option is an effective way to seal cracks and helps to prevent new cracks and potholes.


Martin Paving takes advantage of new technology to reduce the amount of wasted material. Using a full-width computerized chip-spreader and distributor, oil and stone is spread from edge to edge. This guarantees efficiency and an appealing finish.


Fog seals are specially designed emulsions that use a hard, non-sticky asphalt and can be sprayed directly on top of chip sealed road. There are many advantages to utilizing a fog seal. Benefits include better stone retention, moderately increased crack sealing, and an aesthetically pleasing black surface. Combining a fog seal with a small aggregate chip seal process is a cost-effective way to seal roads in areas where oil & chip would not have been previously considered.
