Aren't seal coats messy, won't rocks get up in my yard or elsewhere on my property?

It is true that seal coats are "messier" than other types of maintenance projects due to the nature of using loose rocks as a pavement surface. However, the loose rocks are generally confined to the pavement surface or the curb area and should not be put in your yard. The loose rocks are swept up twice after the chip seal process is complete, one time a day or two after the chip seal process and another time about a week after the chip seal process is complete. Any loose rock in the street should be picked up during one of those two sweepings.
