Grit used on top of tarseal roads?

Kevin from Martinborough

Hi,
our private road is a tarseal chip that has fine grit on top to protect the surface.
Over the years that grit has gone leaving the tarseal exposed to vehicles.
Does anyone know where I can buy more of that grit that I can spread on top of the road to help protect it from cars and trucks?

We only need 0.5m3 or maybe 1m3 and I can collect it.
