Oil and stone driveways cost 60% less than asphalt while lasting just as long in Pine Air’s challenging weather.
Hear from Our Customers
Your driveway handles Pine Air winters without the cracking and heaving that destroys traditional asphalt. Water drains through the stone surface instead of pooling and freezing into dangerous ice patches.
You get a surface that looks like expensive stone but costs a fraction of the price. The textured finish provides better traction when wet, and the flexible oil base moves with ground shifts instead of cracking apart.
Most homeowners see 15-20 years from a properly installed oil and stone driveway. That’s the same lifespan as asphalt at less than half the cost, especially on longer driveways where the savings really add up.
We’ve been installing oil and stone driveways across Long Island for over two decades. We understand Pine Air’s soil conditions, drainage challenges, and how the freeze-thaw cycles affect different driveway materials.
Most contractors around here push asphalt because it’s what they know. We specialize in chip seal and tar and chip installations because we’ve seen how well they perform in our climate. Your neighbors in Babylon, West Islip, and Bay Shore have trusted us with their driveways, and the results speak for themselves.
We start by preparing your existing driveway base or creating a new one with proper grading for drainage. The key is getting the slope right so water moves away from your foundation instead of pooling.
Next comes the hot oil application – this isn’t regular asphalt but a specialized emulsion that stays flexible. We spread it evenly across the surface, then immediately apply your chosen stone chips while the oil is still tacky.
The final step involves rolling everything to embed the stones properly and sweeping off any loose material. Most driveways are ready for light traffic within 24 hours, though we recommend waiting 48 hours before parking heavy vehicles. The whole process typically takes one to two days depending on your driveway size.

Every oil and stone driveway installation includes proper base preparation, premium-grade oil emulsion, and your choice of stone colors and sizes. We handle all the prep work, including minor grading adjustments and edge work to contain the materials.
You get a written warranty covering workmanship and material adhesion. We also include one follow-up visit after 30 days to address any loose stones or minor touch-ups – this is normal with chip seal driveways and part of the process.
Pine Air’s sandy soil actually works in your favor with oil and stone installation. The natural drainage helps prevent the base movement that can cause problems with rigid surfaces like concrete. We’ve learned which stone sizes work best in different areas of Long Island, and we’ll recommend the right combination for your specific location and traffic patterns.
