Our Story
Carlow surfacing experience you can rely on
Carlow TAR & CHIP Contractors is the specialist TAR & CHIP arm of an established family groundwork business serving homes, farms and commercial properties throughout County Carlow.
Our experience goes beyond the finished surface. Good TAR & CHIP work depends on the condition of the base, levels, drainage, edges and how the area will be used. That is why every job begins with the ground beneath the surface.
From residential entrances and long country lanes to farm access, private roads, yards and commercial areas, we focus on practical preparation, appropriate materials and a clean, consistent finish.

How We Work
Preparation first.
Finish second.
