Chip Seal Driveway Installation

Chip seal — also known as tar and chip, oil and stone, or macadam — is a practical and affordable surface option for homeowners who want a durable driveway without the cost of full asphalt paving. If you’ve heard neighbors refer to their driveway as oil and stone or tar and chip, it’s all the same process, and J. Hunziker Asphalt Paving is the Capital District and Mid-Hudson Valley’s go-to installer for it. We apply a layer of liquid asphalt topped with stone aggregate for a textured surface that holds up well through freeze-thaw cycles and seasonal wear — a popular choice for longer rural driveways and properties where value and longevity matter.

New Chip Seal Installation

We install chip seal driveways from base prep through final compaction, giving you a finished surface that's cost-effective and built to last through upstate New York seasons.

Chip Seal Over Existing Surfaces

In some cases, chip seal can be applied over a sound existing surface as a cost-effective way to restore traction, improve appearance, and extend driveway life.

Gravel & Base Preparation

A quality chip seal job starts with a properly prepared base. We handle grading and base work to ensure a stable, well-draining foundation before any material goes down.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. J.Hunziker recently completed an asphalt and oil and stone driveway for me in July '26.  The crew did very nice work.  They were thoughtul about the aesthetic decisions; their curves and margins were tidy.  Moreover, this job was quoted in '25 before Trump's war increased all input prices (especially oil).  Neverthless, Hunziker honored the pre-war quote with no fuss.  Further, the owner was on site throughout to ensure a great job.  All around, we are very satisfied with the experience.

From calling to get the estimate done to finish processing was seamless. Jason’s crew was top notch. Professional, polite and hard working to leave us a brand new driveway. Would recommend to anyone who needs blacktop work done.

They did a phenomenal job on our driveway last summer. Patient and understanding with removing some old errant tree roots left behind. It drains perfectly. I was amazed they knocked it out in one day.

Courteous, professional and fairly priced.

Highly recommend.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about chip seal driveways? Here are a few things we hear often from homeowners considering their options. Reach out anytime to talk through what’s right for your property.

How does chip seal compare to asphalt for a residential driveway?

Chip seal is generally more affordable than full asphalt paving, and it performs well for residential driveways with moderate traffic. It has a rougher, more textured appearance than blacktop, which some homeowners prefer. For high-traffic or commercial applications, full asphalt is often the better long-term choice — we'll give you an honest comparison based on your specific situation.

How long does a chip seal driveway last?

A properly installed chip seal surface typically lasts 7 to 10 years before needing attention, though longevity depends on traffic, drainage, and how well the base holds up. Routine maintenance can extend that timeline. We'll walk you through what to expect before installation begins.

Is chip seal a good choice for a long driveway?

It's one of the most common reasons homeowners choose chip seal. For longer rural driveways where the cost of full asphalt paving adds up quickly, chip seal delivers a durable, weather-resistant surface at a more manageable price.
