What are oil & stone (tar and chip) driveways?

A paving method where hot liquid asphalt is applied and covered with natural stone chips for a durable, rustic, and non-slip surface.

How long do oil & stone driveways last?

With proper base prep and drainage, many oil & stone driveways last 7–10+ years, and can be refreshed with additional chip seal as needed.

Can you install oil & stone over existing asphalt?

Yes. We repair and prepare the surface first to ensure adhesion and correct drainage, then apply tar and stone.

How much does an oil & stone driveway cost?

Pricing depends on size, base work, stone selection, and site access. We provide free on-site estimates in East Setauket and nearby areas.

Do you offer chip sealing and resurfacing?

Yes. We provide chip seal resurfacing for driveways and private roads to extend lifespan and restore traction and appearance.
