he process begins with preparing the existing surface by cleaning and repairing any cracks or damage. Once the surface is ready, a layer of liquid asphalt is applied, followed by a layer of loose stone chips. The stone chips are then compacted into the asphalt, creating a durable and textured surface that is both attractive and functional. For homeowners with existing asphalt driveways, our team can easily convert them into oil and stone driveways by applying the necessary layers of asphalt and stone chips. This cost-effective solution can give your driveway a fresh new look without the need for a complete overhaul.
Maintaining an oil and stone driveway requires regular upkeep to ensure its longevity and appearance. Unlike asphalt, which can be sealed to protect it from the elements, an oil and stone driveway may need to be regraded and replenished with fresh stone periodically to prevent erosion and maintain a smooth surface. Weeds and grass can also grow through the loose stone, so regular weeding and herbicide application may be necessary to keep the driveway looking neat. Additionally, oil and stone driveways may need to be re-oiled every few years to maintain their color and prevent the stone from shifting. While oil and stone driveways can be a more cost-effective and aesthetically pleasing option than asphalt, they do require more frequent maintenance to keep them in good condition. If you live in the Danbury area, you can count on Leo Brothers to keep your Oil & Stone driveway or pathway looking great.
Oil & stone driveways may not be a good choice for certain situations, particularly in sloped driveways. The loose stone surface can make it difficult for vehicles to gain traction, especially in wet or icy conditions. This can lead to safety hazards and potential damage to vehicles. Additionally, the loose stones can be easily displaced by heavy rain or snow plows, requiring frequent maintenance and reapplication. In sloped driveways, the stones may also shift and slide downhill over time, creating uneven surfaces and potential erosion issues. In these situations, a more stable and durable driveway material, such as asphalt or concrete, may be a better choice. If your driveway is slopped, then you should consider our asphalt driveway services.
