Expert Driveway Installation in Raleigh, NC

Driveway installation in Oxford, NC takes more than laying down pavement. Granville County's red clay subsoils shift with seasonal moisture, which puts stress on surfaces that aren't properly graded and compacted from the start. At Calvin Ray Paving Contractor, Inc., we handle every step: site assessment, fine grading, base preparation, and final paving. A solid base layer is non-negotiable here. Without it, Oxford's wet winters and warm, humid summers will work against your driveway fast. We serve residential and commercial properties throughout Oxford and the surrounding Granville County area. Whether you're replacing a failing surface or installing a new driveway from scratch, we bring over 75 years of paving experience to every job. Call us to schedule your on-site assessment and get a clear picture of what your property needs.

These guys are third generation asphalt papers. I have known the Ray's all my life and wouldn't think of using someone else. They did 284 feet of driveway for me and came in under estimate. If you want a quality paving job at a great price call these guys. They'll take care of any of your Paving needs.

I had the privilege of working with Anderson Ray on the paving of my driveway. His knowledge, customer service and ability to listen made the whole experience better. The crew was professional and did an outstanding job with the big and little details. I highly recommend them for any paving needs from small to large.

Calvin Ray installed my asphalt driveway 5 years ago and after a great experience I have had zero problems with it. Last week they seal coated the driveway and again a great experience. They arrived on time and went to work to prepare the driveway for sealcoating. They even went to extraordinary measures to reveal the edges of the asphalt to sealcoat those as well. I highly recommend Calvin Ray as they consistently do quality work.
