Built for Polk County properties
Most folks around Polk 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 Polk County
In the Ducktown basin near the Ocoee, Copperhill's hilly old mining-country lots and river-access properties are ideal for chip seal — tough enough for the terrain, easy on the wallet.
Ducktown's rugged former copper-mining terrain and rural homesteads are mostly long gravel drives on real grades. Chip seal ends the mud and washouts without the price tag of asphalt.
Turtletown's scattered farm and forest properties off US-68 toward the Cherokee National Forest often have long private drives. Chip seal turns those into a clean, durable surface that lasts for years.
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 Polk 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 Polk County driveway needs a real look at the grade, the length, and the drainage.
