Hot Tar & Shingle
Traditional hot tar and shingle surfacing, ideal for rural properties and long driveways.
Hot tar and shingle, also known as tar and chip, is a traditional surfacing method that provides a durable, natural-looking finish. It is particularly popular for rural properties, farmhouses, and longer driveways where a natural aesthetic is preferred.
The process involves applying hot bitumen to a prepared surface, then rolling in a layer of decorative stone chippings. The result is a textured, slip-resistant surface that blends beautifully with natural surroundings.
At 3 Counties Surfacing Ltd, we use only quality materials and our experienced team ensures even coverage and proper compaction for a finish that will last for many years with minimal maintenance.
