An oil and stone driveway, also known as tar and chip, provides a gravel-like appearance with a strong, durable surface. For new driveways, we recommend applying two coats of oil and stone. The process begins by prepping the base and spraying a layer of oil (RS-5) using a specialized sprayer.Gravel is then spread over the surface and compacted with a roller. Repeating this process ensures a sturdy finish. As the oil cools and hardens, it creates a stable base for the gravel, maintaining a rustic, natural appearance.
