Pavement services explained
Asphalt paving
Asphalt paving creates a compacted pavement surface for driveways, parking lots and other private paved areas. Chesapeake Asphalt evaluates the existing surface, prepares the base, establishes grading and drainage, and installs pavement suited to the property's use. Preparation beneath the pavement is an important part of the project.
Residential and driveway paving
Residential paving includes new driveways, replacement of deteriorated pavement, driveway widening and extensions, and parking pads or turnarounds. A project should account for how vehicles enter, park and turn, as well as where rainwater drains. Homeowners replacing gravel or damaged asphalt can discuss the options during an estimate.
Commercial and parking lot paving
Commercial paving serves businesses and property managers needing new pavement, replacement surfaces or parking lot improvements. The pavement design and project plan should reflect traffic, access and property use. Parking layout and striping can be discussed alongside paving so the completed surface supports the property's operations.
Asphalt repair
Asphalt repair addresses localized problems such as potholes, cracks, settled areas and broken pavement sections. Listed options include pothole patching, crack filling and sealing, and localized cut-out and replacement. An assessment helps determine whether targeted repair is appropriate or whether broader replacement is needed.
Sealcoating
Sealcoating applies a protective coating to existing asphalt and restores its dark appearance. It is intended for pavement maintenance rather than correction of a failed base or major structural damage. Necessary crack and pothole repairs should be addressed before coating. Traffic, exposure, surface condition and curing requirements influence maintenance planning.
Parking lot line striping
Line striping includes new parking layouts, restriping faded stalls, directional arrows, crosswalks and accessibility markings. Chesapeake Asphalt reviews the layout, prepares the surface and applies markings. Discuss the required markings and the property's access needs when planning the project.
Tar and chip paving
Tar and chip, also called chip seal, combines liquid asphalt with stone aggregate to form a bonded, textured surface. Chesapeake Asphalt lists applications including driveways, private roads, lanes and larger residential properties. Property owners can compare the stone appearance and texture with a smooth asphalt surface and discuss whether their base and intended traffic suit the application.
Snow removal
Snow removal services focus primarily on commercial parking lots and access areas, with private roads, lanes and residential access areas also described on the site. Planning ahead allows property owners to discuss entrances, loading areas, parking and other priorities. Confirm property coverage, availability and the specific scope directly with Chesapeake Asphalt.

Common project questions
Does Chesapeake Asphalt work with homeowners and businesses?
Yes. The company lists residential driveway and pavement services as well as commercial paving, parking lot maintenance and striping. Describe the property type when requesting an estimate.
Can Chesapeake Asphalt replace or widen a driveway?
Yes. The driveway paving page lists new installation, replacement and old-surface removal, widening and extensions, and parking pad or turnaround additions. The layout, slope and drainage are reviewed as part of planning.
What is the difference between asphalt repair and sealcoating?
Repair addresses damaged pavement, including potholes, cracks and localized failure. Sealcoating protects and refreshes an existing asphalt surface. Coating alone does not correct structural damage, so repairs may be needed first.
Should a damaged surface be repaired, resurfaced or replaced?
That depends on the extent of damage and the condition of the underlying base. Localized damage may suit repair. The existing paving guide explains that resurfacing may be appropriate for a worn surface with a sound base, while widespread failure may call for replacement. An on-site assessment is needed to choose the appropriate approach.
Does sealcoating fix potholes or major cracks?
No. Sealcoating is a maintenance coating. Potholes, significant cracking, drainage problems and base failure require separate evaluation and appropriate repairs.
Does Chesapeake Asphalt restripe existing parking lots?
Yes. The striping page lists restriping faded markings, new lot layouts, directional arrows, crosswalks and accessibility markings. Discuss the intended layout and required markings during the estimate.
Is tar and chip the same as smooth asphalt paving?
No. Tar and chip bonds stone aggregate into liquid asphalt and produces a textured stone finish. Traditional asphalt paving produces a smoother, more uniform surface. Chesapeake Asphalt can discuss which option fits a particular driveway or lane.
Can I get a fixed paving price from this reference?
The website does not publish a standard price schedule. Request an estimate for the property and scope. Surface area, base preparation, existing pavement removal, drainage and intended use are useful subjects to discuss when establishing the work required.
How soon can a paved, sealed or striped surface reopen?
Confirm the reopening instructions for your specific project. The site describes allowing sealcoat to cure and striping paint to dry before traffic returns, but does not establish one universal reopening time.
Do you serve locations outside Salisbury?
Yes. The listed region includes Maryland's Eastern Shore and Sussex County, Delaware. Use the service area information above and confirm your address, requested service and scheduling directly with the company.
What should I provide when requesting an estimate?
Provide your name, contact information, property address, service needed and whether the property is residential or commercial. Describe the existing surface, visible damage, drainage concerns and desired changes. Approximate dimensions and photos can help explain the project; the final scope should be confirmed with the contractor.
