Oil & Chip Paving in Springfield, Jacksonville & all of Central Illinois
Oil and chip paving—also known as chip seal—is a cost-effective alternative to traditional asphalt, ideal for driveways, private roads, farm lanes, and rural access paths. At VICC, we provide expert oil and chip paving services throughout Springfield, Jacksonville, and Central Illinois, delivering durable, rustic surfaces that blend naturally into their surroundings.
This method involves spraying hot liquid asphalt over a compacted base, followed by a layer of crushed stone. The surface is then rolled and compacted, embedding the stone into the asphalt for a strong, textured finish with excellent traction and long-term performance.
Benefits of Oil & Chip Surfacing
Performance Meets Natural Aesthetics
Oil & chip paving offers the rugged charm of gravel with the added strength of asphalt. It’s a smart choice for property owners who want a low-maintenance, budget-friendly solution without compromising durability or appearance.
Key benefits include:
- Outstanding Traction – Ideal for wet, icy, or muddy conditions
- Enhanced Drainage – Helps prevent pooling and erosion
- Natural Appearance – Rustic finish blends well with country or rural settings
- Heat Resistant – Reflects sunlight better than blacktop and won’t soften in hot weather
- Low Maintenance – Resists potholes, dust, and rutting better than gravel
- Cost-Effective – Lower upfront investment compared to full asphalt paving
