Oil & Stone Driveways in Marathon, NY
Oil and stone driveways, grading, and excavating for Marathon and the Tioughnioga valley along Interstate 81.
Also called stone and oil, tar and chip, or chip seal.
Tioughnioga River
River village, hill roads
Marathon is a village in Cortland County on the Tioughnioga River, with Interstate 81 and Route 11 running through the valley. Farms sit on the valley floor, and the hills climb on both sides with homes and long driveways on the slopes.
River valleys hold water on the flat ground and shed it fast on the hills. We figure out which one the driveway has and build for it, with the pitch and the base set before any oil or stone goes down.

The Process
How we build a driveway in Marathon
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 Marathon: 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 Marathon 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 Marathon and across Cortland 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 Marathon?
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.

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!
