The use of Tar and Chip (also known as Chip and Seal) paving on parking lots offers an economical, long-lasting alternative to both traditional asphalt and gravel. With asphalt, it may or may not last longer depending on a variety of factors from application and the intense heat and cold found in Ontario.  With gravel, the surface becomes dusty and gravel must be constantly resurfaced and reapplied.

A Tar and Chip parking lot allows for a reasonable lifespan of anywhere between 7 and 10 years but also a surface that is easily repaired.  Unlike asphalt which is repaired with patched that are noticeable to anyone, Tar and Chip can be repaired to easily match the original surface.
