Oil & Stone Driveways in Horseheads, NY
Oil and stone driveways, grading, and excavating for Horseheads and the north end of the Chemung valley.
Also called stone and oil, tar and chip, or chip seal.
North of Elmira
Valley ground north of the river
Horseheads is a village in Chemung County just north of Elmira, with Route 14 and Interstate 86 running through the area. The land is mostly flat to gently rolling, with subdivisions, farms, and wooded hills close by.
Flat ground means drainage is the main design question. A driveway needs a pitch that sends water off the surface, because water that sits works into the base. We set that first and compact the base before any oil or stone goes down.
Services
The Work in Horseheads
Many properties here have a gravel driveway that has gone soft in the same spots year after year. Fixing the grade and the base is part of the job, and oil and stone gives you a surface that stays put.
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.
Horseheads is toward the western edge of the area we cover, so call us first to talk through the job and set up a site visit. Quotes are free and done on site.
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 Horseheads
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 Horseheads: 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 Horseheads 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 Horseheads and across Chemung 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 Horseheads?
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.

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.

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!
