A chip seal involves spraying liquid asphalt on the pavement followed by the spreading of a layer of small aggregate (rock) that is embedded into the oil. The majority of the work will occur between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Monday – Friday, however sweeping of excess rock may occur up until 10:00 p.m. and some Saturday work may be required.

Precautions
  •  Trim your trees so branches don’t hang lower than 14 feet, 6 inches above the roadway to prevent damage to the trees and our equipment.
    • To see a detailed sheet of our trimming specifications, please click here.
  • Keep  your children and pets away from the streets while we are performing these treatments. Several large pieces of equipment are involved.
  • Drive slowly; the pavement can be slippery because of the loose rock. Do not drive on the treatments until the lanes have been reopened to traffic.
  • Warn your children to be careful while riding their bicycles. It would be preferable if they refrained altogether until the loose rock is swept up.
  • Continue to park your car off the road or cover it until the initial sweeping is completed. Loose rock thrown up by speeding vehicles could damage your car’s paint.
  • Check your shoes before walking into your house. The loose rocks can be picked up and tracked onto the carpets or scratch wood floors.
