Stone & Oil Driveways and Parking Lots
Stone and oil, also known as tar and chip, is an economical alternative to traditional asphalt that delivers comparable structural performance with a more natural, textured look. The process begins with preparing a compacted gravel base, followed by a hot oil application to the surface. Small stone is then spread evenly over the treated area and compacted with a roller to produce a clean, professional finish.
Unlike blacktop, stone and oil driveways do not require regular sealing. They hold up well in the freeze-thaw cycles common across Upstate New York winters. If you use a plow, keep the blade riding just above the surface and finish with a shovel. Snowblowers work fine on stone and oil surfaces.
This service is available for driveways, parking lots, and other surface applications.
