This invention relates to a method for chip seal coating. Aggregate is pre-coated, at ambient temperature, with an emulsion. The pre-coated aggregate is then allowed to sit, preferably for at least 24 hours, to allow the mixture to break into the asphalt and soapy water components of the mixture. The aggregate is then air dried to a moisture content of between 1 percent minimum to a maximum of 15 percent. A paved surface may be manufactured by first apply hot asphalt binder to a properly prepared base. The pre-coated aggregate is then spread on top of the binder. Using a roller, the aggregate is embedded into the binder and compacted.
