Stone & Oil
Driveways, parking lots, and other surfaces.
Stone and oil driveways, grading, and excavating for Trumansburg and the hills west of Cayuga Lake.
Also called stone and oil, tar and chip, or chip seal.
West of the Lake
Trumansburg is a village in Tompkins County, on Route 96 a few miles from the west shore of Cayuga Lake. The village has older homes on compact lots, and the hills around it are a mix of farms, vineyards, and country homes.
Driveways west of the lake often slope toward the water, and rain follows the slope. We set the pitch and the edges first so water has a path off the surface, and then compact the base and build the stone and oil surface on top.
Services
Village driveways are short, with limited room to maneuver, so we plan how trucks and the roller will get in and out. Country driveways are longer, and the grading takes most of the work.

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 Trumansburg and the hills above the lake, we cover the area west of Cayuga Lake, including Jacksonville and Ulysses, and the road toward Ithaca.
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!
