The only issue with tar/chip, you can create wheel ruts easier, especially with very hot days and heavy trucks/machinery. The process is about 1/10th the cost of grind/repaving. Plus you only need a few workers and not a grinding crew, paving crew, roller crew and paint crew. Most tar chip roads around here have no edge or center lines.
