Stone & Oil
Driveways, parking lots, and other surfaces.
Oil and stone driveways, grading, and excavating for Horseheads and the north end of the Chemung valley.
Also called stone and oil, tar and chip, or chip seal.
North of Elmira
Horseheads is a village in Chemung County just north of Elmira, with Route 14 and Interstate 86 running through the area. The land is mostly flat to gently rolling, with subdivisions, farms, and wooded hills close by.
Flat ground means drainage is the main design question. A driveway needs a pitch that sends water off the surface, because water that sits works into the base. We set that first and compact the base before any oil or stone goes down.
Services
Many properties here have a gravel driveway that has gone soft in the same spots year after year. Fixing the grade and the base is part of the job, and oil and stone gives you a surface that stays put.

The Process
We set the pitch for drainage and compact a gravel base. Our dump trucks remove dirt and debris from the site.
Hot oil goes down over the compacted base and binds the surface together.
Small stone is spread over the oil and rolled into place for a natural stone finish.
Where We Work

Questions
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.

No. Oil and stone does not need regular sealing.
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.

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!
