Asphalt, Spray Seal and Road Surfacing


At Holland Civil Solutions, we know that a professional, high-quality surface is a critical part of any project, whether it’s for your home or business. We specialise in expert road surfacing, using two of the industry's most common and effective methods: asphalt and spray seal. Our goal is to help you select the best solution for your specific needs, ensuring a durable and long-lasting finish.

Asphalt

Asphalt (also known as hot-mix asphalt or bitumen) is a highly durable material that creates a smooth, strong surface perfect for high-traffic areas. Our team uses it for a variety of applications, from new construction to essential repairs:

  • New Construction: We build new roads, driveways, and carparks for both residential and commercial projects.
  • Existing Surfaces: We are experts in repairing and resurfacing tired or damaged roads and carparks, which extends their lifespan and restores their professional appearance.

Spray Seal

Spray seal (or chip seal) is a cost-effective and versatile method that provides a tough, protective, and waterproof layer. This process is particularly well-suited for:

  • Rural Roads: We use spray seal to seal gravel roads, providing a more stable and dust-free surface.
  • Residential and Commercial Driveways: It’s an economical choice for properties with lighter traffic loads.
  • Existing Surfaces: We can rejuvenate and protect older surfaces to prevent further deterioration, giving them a fresh, new look.

In Summary

Our dual expertise in both asphalt and spray seal allows us to address a full range of your project needs. We will work with you to understand your goals and recommend the most effective and cost-effective solution, guaranteeing a professional finish for every job, big or small.

FAQs

What is the difference between asphalt paving and spray seal?

Asphalt paving (hot mix bitumen) provides a smoother, stronger surface ideal for high-traffic areas like roads and carparks. Spray seal (chip seal) is more cost-effective and often used on rural roads or lower-traffic areas to provide a waterproof, durable surface.

How long does asphalt paving last?

With proper installation and maintenance, asphalt pavement can last 15–20 years or more. We also provide asphalt maintenance services to extend the life of existing surfaces.

Do you provide road surfacing outside of Townsville?

Yes, we service Townsville and a 600 km radius across North Queensland, including Cairns, Mackay, Rockhampton and inland regional centres.

What are the benefits of spray seal?

Spray seal is cost-effective, quick to apply, dust-reducing, and provides a waterproof layer that protects and extends the life of gravel or older bitumen roads.

Is spray seal suitable for carparks and driveways?

While we mainly focus on commercial and council projects, spray seal is also used on carparks and access roads where a budget-friendly option is required.
