Calvin Ray Paving replaced the culvert, added stone and graded my driveway. They did an awesome job, and I am so happy with my driveway. I wanted to have it paved but that was not in my budget but the way they compact the stone, I am fine with it not being paved. This was probably a small job for them but they put in the time and work and produced high quality results. They are very professional and courteous and I highly recommend this company. It was refreshing to deal with a company who really cares about their work and customer.
