Tar & chip driveways near Guildford
Tar & chip is ideal for longer rural driveways and private lanes around Guildford, especially towards Shalford, Chilworth, Compton, Worplesdon and the surrounding countryside. It gives a natural-looking, grippy surface without the cost of full-depth tarmac everywhere.
Tar & chip works well for:
- Farm and equestrian access roads
- Long shared drives serving several properties
- Country homes and cottages with extended parking areas
- Private tracks where loose stone would migrate or rut
We can also patch and resurface sections of existing drives where the base is still solid.
How tar & chip is installed
We apply hot, sprayed binder over a prepared base, then apply clean stone chippings and roll everything to bed it in. The result is a bonded surface that still looks like stone but stays in place much better than loose gravel.
Tar & chip guide price: from £20 per m²* for suitable drives and lanes.
*Guide prices are based on larger, straightforward runs with good access. Final pricing depends on base condition, gradients and stone choice.
