What is an oil and stone driveway?
~ An oil & stone driveway, sometimes known as tar & chip, will offer the look of a gravel driveway, but will still provide a strong and durable surface. We suggest two coats of oil and stone on new driveway surfaces. The driveway base is prepared, and a coat of oil (RC-250) is applied with a special sprayer attached to the oil truck. A layer of gravel is then distributed over the treated surface and is then compacted with a roller. This process is generally repeated once more, to provide two coats of oil & stone. Once the oil has cooled, it will harden and provide a stable surface for the gravel. The end result will look like a natural gravel surface. There will be constant loose stone, however, maintenance will be minimal depending upon the stone type. Stone comes in a variety of sizes and colors and provides and excellent alternative to asphalt. *All stone types are naturally mined products and may vary in size and color.
