Chip seal & tar-and-chip · the asphalt alternative
Macon County runs from the Little Tennessee River valley around Franklin up to the Nantahala Gorge at Topton — rural hillside drives and steep wooded cabin lots where chip seal's stone surface grips and stays put. Book your free on-site estimate today.
Built for Macon County properties
Most folks around Macon County 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.
Communities in Macon County
Franklin sits in the Little Tennessee River valley ringed by mountains, with no shortage of rural and hillside home driveways. Chip seal gives them a solid, low-maintenance surface for far less than asphalt.
At the foot of the Nantahala Gorge, Topton is a mountain-pass community of steep wooded lots and cabin drives. Chip seal's stone surface grips those grades far better than smooth asphalt, wet or icy.
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 Macon County, and we specialize in 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 Macon County driveway needs a real look at the grade, the length, and the drainage.
