Oil & Stone Driveways in Homer, NY
Oil and stone driveways, grading, and excavating for Homer and the Tioughnioga River valley.
Also called stone and oil, tar and chip, or chip seal.
Tioughnioga Valley
A village at the foot of the hills
Homer is a village in Cortland County on the Tioughnioga River, just north of the city of Cortland, with Route 11 and Interstate 81 close by. Older homes line the village streets, and the hills and farms start soon after.
Older neighborhoods mean older driveways, and many have been patched more than once. We look at what is there, check the base underneath, and rebuild what is needed before the new surface goes down.

The Process
How we build a driveway in Homer
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 Homer: 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 Homer 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 Homer 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 Homer?
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.
Do you do more than driveways?
Yes. We also do excavating and grade work, concrete walkways, landings, and retaining walls, dust oil for gravel driveways, and material hauling. We sell gravel and stone from our yard in Greene, with delivery available Monday through Friday.

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!
