Paving in Oxford: what the ground here does
Hollis and Charlton soils, rocky side slopes, and ledge near the surface on the hills. The valleys along Little River and Route 67 hold wetter ground, and Southford Falls sits on gneiss. It changes from the ridge to the brook inside one lot.
The hard Oxford jobs are the long rural drives off Quaker Farms Road or Riggs Street. Steep, no room to stage, and the base is thin over rock. The hard part is not the sealer, it is keeping water from running the slab while we work. What fails here is washouts at the edges and cracks that follow the grade, and you see it after the first heavy rain on a new coat if the pitch was never fixed. A lot of Oxford is well and septic country, so there is no city water in the trench if we open a drive, and the access is long with a tight turnaround.
We have worked near Quaker Farms Road, Route 188 and the Southford Falls side toward Route 67 and across the rest of Oxford.

Oxford paving questions
Do you handle drainage problems in Oxford?
Yes. Water is the reason most Oxford driveways fail early, so we look at grade and runoff before we pave. French drains, curtain drains, and catch basins are part of the work when the site needs them.
How long does a driveway take in Oxford?
Most residential Oxford driveways are a one to two day job once we start. Tear-out, base work, and paving can run longer if the base has failed or the grade needs correcting.
