Oil & Stone Driveways in Elmira, NY
Oil and stone driveways, parking lots, grading, and excavating for Elmira and the Chemung River valley.
Also called stone and oil, tar and chip, or chip seal.
The Chemung Valley
A river city ringed by hills
Elmira is a city on the Chemung River and the seat of Chemung County, in a valley with hills rising on every side. Interstate 86 runs through it. The city has compact neighborhoods with short driveways, and the surrounding county is farm and hill country.
The valley floor is flat and wet after heavy rain, and the hillsides are the opposite problem, with runoff moving fast. We check which one a property has before we decide how to build, because the pitch and the base come before the surface.

The Process
How we build a driveway in Elmira
Prep the base
We set the pitch for drainage and compact a gravel base. Our dump trucks remove dirt and debris from the site.
Apply hot oil
Hot oil goes down over the compacted base and binds the surface together.
Spread and roll the stone
Small stone is spread over the oil and rolled into place for a natural stone finish.

Questions
Oil and stone driveways in Elmira: common questions
What is an oil and stone driveway?
Oil and stone is also called stone and oil, tar and chip, or chip seal. We compact a gravel base, apply hot oil, spread small stone over it, and roll it into place. The result keeps a natural stone look and is a cost effective alternative to asphalt.
How much does a driveway in Elmira cost?
Every quote is based on the prep work the driveway needs and its square footage, so we price each job after seeing it. We offer free on-site quotes in Elmira and across Chemung County. Call 607-221-0331 or send the form to set one up.
Does an oil and stone driveway need to be sealed?
No. Oil and stone does not need regular sealing.
How does it hold up through winter in Elmira?
It handles freeze and thaw cycles well. If you plow, keep the blade just above the surface and finish with a shovel. Snowblowers are fine on oil and stone surfaces.
Do you do more than driveways?
Yes. We also do excavating and grade work, concrete walkways, landings, and retaining walls, dust oil for gravel driveways, and material hauling. We sell gravel and stone from our yard in Greene, with delivery available Monday through Friday.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Stone Kote was not only professional but they did an outstanding job on our driveway. Their price was competitive and our driveway went from a loose stone mud pit to a level and new driveway. We would highly recommend this company!
