Surface Dressing - commonly known as Hot Tar and Chippings
Surface dressing is a long lasting and convenient method of rejuvenating a surface which is beginning to show signs of fatigue, eliminating
the need for complete replacement and reducing the cost.
This economical surface treatment is designed to protect and prolong the life of roads and driveways.
Surface dressing is often a preferred choice due to the extensive range of coloured gravel and granite aggregates that are
available, so you can choose a colour to suit you or your property.

There are many benefits with surface dressing the main benefit is the cost being substantially lower than other forms of surfacing.

Surface Dressing how do we do it?
The existing surface is cleaned and made good of any defects.
A hot polymer reinforced k170 grade bitumen emulsion is then sprayed onto the existing surface.
This also provides a water impervious seal that stops water from penetrating the surface structure.
Followed immediately with an application of your chosen high quality, washed and graded aggregate chippings.
This aggregate is then compacted into the bitumen emulsion, to ensure proper embedment of the aggregate into the binder.
Leaving you with a much improved surface texture with an outstanding, beautiful contemporary country look.
