Oil & Stone Driveways in Walton, NY
Walton sits in the West Branch valley with hills closing in on both sides and hollow roads running back off the main routes into properties you cannot see from anywhere. This is New York City watershed country, which is worth naming early, because it means how water leaves a property is not just a practical question here. It is a regulated one.
Where the water goes is the first question.
A chip seal surface is sealed. Run-off crosses it and leaves at the edges, so on a hollow road property the design question is which direction it leaves in and what it reaches after that. Getting that answer right matters more here than almost anywhere else we work.
Hollow roads are steep, and steep drives with any length to them concentrate water fast. Cross drainage built into the base is what stops a single storm cutting a channel down the middle of a new surface.
Winters up these valleys are long and the thaw is abrupt. A surface that can move with the ground gets through that better than one that has to crack to relieve the same stress.
Hollow roads and stream-side approaches.
Typical jobs are long approaches on real grade, frequently crossing or running alongside a stream, and reached by a road that is not built for heavy trucks turning around on it.
If any part of your drive crosses a stream or a culvert, flag it early. That part of the job can carry requirements that take time to sort out, and it is better to find that out in May than in August.
