Stone & Oil
Driveways, parking lots, and other surfaces.
Stone and oil driveways, grading, and excavating for Margaretville and the Catskill Mountains.
Also called stone and oil, tar and chip, or chip seal.
Mountain Village
Margaretville is a village in the Catskill Mountains where the East Branch of the Delaware River runs through a narrow valley. The mountains rise straight up from the village, and a lot of the driveways around it climb steeply.
Weekend and seasonal homes are common in the Catskills, and so are driveways that sit unused for part of the year and then take a beating from weather. A steep driveway needs a sound base, a good pitch, and a way for water to leave the surface, and we set all three before any oil or stone goes down.
Services
Access on mountain roads can be tight, so we look at the property in person before we quote it. The visit tells us what the grade is, how the base is holding up, and where the water goes.
Driveways, parking lots, and other surfaces.
Pitch, slope, and drainage set before any surface goes down.

We also do excavating and grade work, concrete walkways and landings, and material hauling, so one company can handle the whole property.

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.
Where We Work
From the village of Margaretville along Route 28 and out to the side roads, we cover the Margaretville area, including Fleischmanns, Arkville, and Roxbury.
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.

No. Oil and stone does not need regular sealing.
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.

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!
