Stone & Oil
Driveways, parking lots, and other surfaces.
Stone and oil driveways, grading, and excavating for Bainbridge and the Susquehanna valley along Interstate 88.
Also called stone and oil, tar and chip, or chip seal.
Susquehanna Corridor
Bainbridge is a village on the Susquehanna River in Chenango County, with Interstate 88 and Route 7 running through the valley. Farm fields fill the wide ground along the river, and the hills close in again a short distance beyond.
A lot of the driveways around here are long gravel lanes that run back from a county road to a farmhouse or a barn. Gravel works until a hard rain or a spring thaw moves it, and then it needs to be regraded. Stone and oil keeps the natural look and gives you a surface that holds together without regular sealing.
Services
On a long lane the pitch and the edges matter as much as the surface, because water running down the middle is what wears a driveway out. We grade and compact the base first, then apply the oil and stone.

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!
