Oil & Stone Driveways in Enfield, NY
Enfield is the hill country immediately west of Ithaca, rural and wooded, with Enfield Glen cutting through Robert H. Treman State Park at its edge. Properties sit well back off town roads that are not all paved themselves, and the driveway is often the longest and roughest piece of road a vehicle covers.
When your drive is rougher than the road.
A long approach off an unpaved town road takes the same weather as the road without the town's grader coming by. A bound surface holds its shape through the seasons that turn a gravel drive into ruts.
Wooded lots stay wet. Shade keeps frost in the ground longer and slows everything drying out, so the surface spends more of the year dealing with moisture than an open property does.
Runoff off the hills arrives with force in the spring. Cross drainage along the length is what keeps that from cutting a channel down the middle of the drive.
Long, wooded, and often wet.
The common job is a several hundred foot approach through trees to a house set back from the road. Those want drainage handled at intervals and a base built for ground that does not dry out quickly.
Getting equipment in matters on a narrow wooded approach. We walk the access before quoting so there are no surprises about what can actually reach the site.
