Your driveway becomes a surface that actually handles Long Island weather better than asphalt. The stone chips create natural traction that keeps you safe during wet conditions, while the oil base flexes with temperature changes instead of cracking.
You’re looking at a driveway that costs significantly less upfront and requires minimal maintenance over the years. No seal coating every few years like asphalt demands.
The natural stone appearance gives you curb appeal that looks intentional and attractive, not like you chose the budget option. Most neighbors assume it cost more than it did.
We’ve been installing oil and stone driveways across Long Island for years. We understand the soil conditions here, the weather patterns, and what works long-term in this area.
We’re not the guys who disappear after the job. You’ll find us here next year and the year after that, because this is our community too.
Our crews know the difference between a quick job and a job done right. That means proper base preparation, quality materials, and installation timing that works with the weather, not against it.
First, we prepare your base properly. This means grading, compacting, and making sure drainage works correctly. Skip this step and you’ll have problems later, regardless of the surface material.
Next comes the hot oil application, followed immediately by the stone chips. We use a specific grade of stone that bonds well and provides the right texture. The timing here matters – everything has to happen while the oil is at the right temperature.
Finally, we compact everything and clean up the edges. The surface is ready for light traffic almost immediately, but we’ll give you specific timing for full use based on weather conditions.
The whole process typically takes 1-2 days for most residential driveways, depending on size and access.

Fort Salonga’s climate actually favors oil and stone over traditional asphalt. The freeze-thaw cycles that crack asphalt don’t affect oil and stone the same way because the surface flexes rather than becoming rigid.
You’re also getting a surface that handles the occasional coastal storm better. The stone chips don’t wash away like loose gravel, and the oil base doesn’t deteriorate from salt exposure as quickly as asphalt.
The cost advantage becomes even more significant on longer driveways. While asphalt costs climb dramatically with square footage, oil and stone remains affordable even for larger areas.
Most homeowners find the natural appearance actually improves over time as the stones settle and weather slightly, creating a more established look rather than the fresh-from-the-factory appearance that fades with other materials.
