Oil & Stone Driveways in Mecklenburg, NY
Mecklenburg sits on Route 79 up on the high ground between Ithaca and Watkins Glen, a crossroads hamlet in the town of Hector with farmland stretching away in every direction. It is one of the more exposed spots in the area, and driveways here spend the winter taking whatever comes across the open fields.
Wind, drift, and a long winter.
Snow does not fall straight down up here, it arrives sideways off the fields and piles wherever there is something to stop it. That means a lot of plowing, and a surface that takes a blade season after season without shredding.
Being high and open means the freeze-thaw swings are sharper. The surface warms in the sun and refreezes at night through most of the winter, which is exactly the movement that opens up a rigid drive.
Properties out here are spread out, and drives run long off the road. On that kind of run the ground changes more than once, and the base needs to answer to what is actually under it.
Open country between two markets.
The usual job is a long rural approach off 79 or one of the town roads, sometimes serving a farm as well as a house. Both the wind exposure and the length shape how the drive is built.
We are working both the Ithaca and Watkins Glen sides regularly, so a job up here is rarely a special trip. That keeps scheduling flexible.
