As the restoration work begins at Philadelphia Cricket Club, we are starting to see some of the changes already and one area that the club is looking to make strides on, is the appearance of concrete and cart paths. Take a look at what Dan Meersman and his crew have been up to!
• The club’s plan is to replace EVERY piece of blacktop on the three campuses with Chip-Seal over time.
• The cost to put it down is between 50%-66% less per square foot than asphalt. Best of all, it can be placed directly on top of existing blacktop like it was in these photos. This is directly on top of existing paths around the clubhouse at Militia Hill. More to come!
• Asphalt changes color quickly, cracks easily, and repairs immediately are noticeable. Chip-Seal retains a consistent color/texture; wears better than asphalt, and repairs (when needed) blend in seamlessly with existing product.
• The ‘look’ is incredibly natural – it’s a ‘timeless’ appearance which goes well with the club's vision going forward.
Dan Meersman and his team are continuing to do a fantastic job with every piece of the renovation. And this highlights just one of them!
