Your driveway becomes a surface that actually improves with time. The oil penetrates and binds the stone, creating a self-sealing layer that handles Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles without the cracking you see with traditional asphalt.
You get excellent traction year-round. Rain, snow, ice—the textured stone surface grips tires naturally, giving you confidence backing out on winter mornings when smooth surfaces become skating rinks.
The stone stays put. Unlike loose gravel that migrates to your lawn every time you turn the wheel, oil and stone creates a bound surface that looks intentional and stays where you put it. Your property value reflects the upgrade, and your maintenance headaches disappear.
We’ve been installing oil and stone driveways across Long Island for years, and the Shirley area presents specific challenges that generic contractors miss. The soil composition here, combined with coastal weather patterns, requires techniques that work with local conditions instead of against them.
We focus on proper preparation and material selection that makes sense for this region. When you’re investing in your property, you need contractors who understand why certain approaches fail and others last decades.
First, the existing surface gets prepared—graded, compacted, and cleared of debris that could cause future problems. This foundation work determines how your driveway performs long-term, so we do it right the first time.
Next comes the oil application. Hot liquid asphalt gets sprayed evenly across the prepared surface, creating the binding agent that holds everything together. Timing matters here—temperature and weather conditions affect how well the oil penetrates and cures.
Finally, selected stone gets spread and rolled into the oil while it’s still tacky. The stone embeds partially, creating texture for traction while the oil binds everything into a cohesive surface. Within 24-48 hours, you have a fully functional driveway that’s ready for regular use.
Ready to get started?
Every oil and stone installation includes site preparation, proper grading for drainage, and material application using commercial-grade equipment. You get stone selection that matches your property’s aesthetic—from traditional gray to warmer earth tones that complement Long Island’s natural landscape.
The process includes edge work that creates clean lines and prevents stone migration. Proper compaction ensures the surface bonds correctly and performs as intended. You receive guidance on initial curing time and long-term maintenance that keeps your investment looking and performing its best.
Most Shirley installations complete in 1-2 days depending on size and site conditions. The surface is ready for light traffic within hours and full use within 48 hours—much faster than traditional paving methods that require extended curing time.
