Stone & Oil
Driveways, parking lots, and other surfaces.
Stone and oil driveways, grading, and excavating for Sidney and the Susquehanna Valley.
Also called stone and oil, tar and chip, or chip seal.
Valley Floor
Sidney sits on the Susquehanna River between Oneonta and Binghamton, with Interstate 88 running through the valley. The river bottom is wide and flat, farm fields run up to the edge of town, and the hills start not far beyond.
Flat ground near a river holds water, and the Southern Tier's river valleys have seen what heavy rain can do more than once. For a driveway, that makes the base and the drainage the first things to get right. We check how water moves across and off the property before we talk about the surface.
Services
On the farms and larger properties around Sidney, driveways tend to be long and loose gravel is common. Stone and oil replaces loose gravel with a surface that holds together and keeps its natural look. The village has its own mix of shorter driveways, and we quote those the same way.
Driveways, parking lots, and other surfaces.
Pitch, slope, and drainage set before any surface goes down.
Walkways, landings, retaining walls, and more.
Topsoil, stone, gravel, and more, Monday through Friday.
We use dump trucks to remove dirt and debris from the worksite so you start with a clean base. From there we do the grading, the stone and oil surface, and any concrete or hauling the job calls for.
Gravel and stone are sold from our yard in Greene, and delivery is available Monday through Friday. See gravel products
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.
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.

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!
