Oil & Stone Driveways in Mecklenburg, NY
Stone and oil driveways, grading, and excavating for Mecklenburg and the hills between Ithaca and Watkins Glen.
Also called stone and oil, tar and chip, or chip seal.
Route 79
Hill farms on the way to the lake
Mecklenburg is a small village in Schuyler County, on Route 79 between Ithaca and Watkins Glen. The land is high rolling hills, with farms and country homes spread along the roads and not much to shelter them from the weather.
Exposed hilltops collect snow and wind, and long driveways take the brunt of it. Stone and oil holds up to freeze and thaw cycles and does not need regular sealing. If you plow, keep the blade riding just above the surface and finish with a shovel.
Services
The Work in Mecklenburg
A driveway on a hill needs the right pitch before anything else, so water leaves the surface at the edges. We set it, compact the base, and then apply the oil and stone.
Excavating & Grade Work
Pitch, slope, and drainage set before any surface goes down.
Concrete Work
Walkways, landings, retaining walls, and more.
Material Hauling & Delivery
Topsoil, stone, gravel, and more, Monday through Friday.
We also do excavating and grade work, concrete work, and material hauling, and we apply dust oil to gravel drives that are not ready for a new surface.
Gravel and stone are sold from our yard in Greene, and delivery is available Monday through Friday. See gravel products
The Process
How we build a driveway in Mecklenburg
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.
Where We Work

Questions

What is an oil and stone driveway?

How does it hold up through winter in Mecklenburg?
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!
