About J Taylor Paving

Charlton rides the glacial ridges of south-central Massachusetts, where orchard rows follow the swell of the hills and no driveway gets built without first negotiating ledge, gravel and grade. J Taylor Paving starts down there in the dirt — crushed processed gravel packed and shaped, backhoe and bulldozer working the earth into line — so that when asphalt goes down on a residential driveway or a small business lot, it lies true and reads clean from the road. There is a plain satisfaction in a finished edge: a dark ribbon curving in past the stone walls, shedding the rain instead of holding it. When the cold months close in, they clear snow from those same drives, keeping the surface open and the way in usable. Their work runs the back roads that stitch Charlton to Dudley, Oxford, Leicester, Spencer and Sturbridge.
