Chip seal & tar-and-chip · the asphalt alternative
Around Hiwassee Dam and Apalachia Lake, properties sit on remote lakeside and ridge lots reached by gravel access roads that rut and dust up fast. Chip seal gives them a solid, low-maintenance surface that holds the grade. Book your free on-site estimate today.
Built for Hiwassee Dam properties
Most folks around Hiwassee Dam have only ever been offered two choices: keep grading gravel, or pay a fortune for asphalt. Chip seal is the third option the asphalt crews won't tell you about.
Searching for paving or asphalt?
Most people who call us started out searching for asphalt paving. That's the right instinct — you want a hard, finished surface instead of gravel. The part worth knowing before you book anyone is that asphalt isn't your only option up here.
We're a paving contractor serving Hiwassee Dam and Cherokee County, and we do one thing: chip seal — also called tar and chip. It's the same idea as asphalt paving (hot binder, then aggregate, then rolled) but it goes down for roughly half the price, grips a mountain grade better than a smooth asphalt slab, and flexes with the ground through freeze-and-thaw instead of cracking.
If asphalt is genuinely the right call for your property, we'll tell you that in person rather than sell you something that doesn't fit. Either way the estimate is free and done on site, because an honest price for a Hiwassee Dam driveway needs a real look at the grade, the length, and the drainage.
