| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Asphalt Driveway Paving & Installation | From $6/sq ft | New hot-mix driveways built on a lime-stabilized subgrade and compacted crushed limestone flex base. The surface course is a true 2.5-3 inch compacted layer. Thickness and tonnage are spelled out in your written estimate. Stamped and decorative border finishes available. We pitch every drive so spring downpours run to the street instead of ponding on black clay. |
| Driveway Repair | From $450 | Sunken aprons, crumbling edges and sections heaved by blackland clay or cracked by live oak roots all get repaired. We use full-depth patches that key into sound asphalt instead of skin patches that fail by the next storm season. We tell you honestly when a repair buys you years and when the money belongs in resurfacing instead. |
| Pothole Repair & Asphalt Patching | From $450 | Potholes cut square then tack-coated and filled with compacted hot mix. We also run infrared patching that recycles the surface in place for seamless repairs with no waiting. Flash-flood downpours and clay movement open potholes fast; we book quick assessments so one hole doesn't become a failed section. |
| Asphalt Resurfacing & Overlay | From $4/sq ft | A new 1.5-2 inch compacted surface course goes over a structurally sound driveway. It's the middle path between patching and full replacement. We level and repair cracks and edge-mill at the garage and street so the overlay ties in flush. If the base is failing we say so before you spend. |
| Asphalt Milling & Removal | From $1,500 | Mill-and-pave; full-depth reclamation or complete tear-out with haul-away. This is the heavy-equipment side of the trade done right. Milling recovers grade at garages and curbs where an overlay would sit too high; reclaimed millings can rebuild your base or surface a ranch road instead of filling a landfill. |
| Driveway Replacement | From $7/sq ft | When alligator cracking runs section to section the base underneath is gone and no overlay will save it. We remove the old drive; lime-stabilize the blackland clay subgrade and rebuild the flex base then pave a binder-plus-surface structure that restarts the 20-to-30-year clock, honestly quoted against the repair option. |
| Parking Lot Paving & Construction | Free commercial estimate | New parking lots and expansions for retail; HOA; church; school and industrial properties. Thickness is engineered for the traffic the lot will actually carry, from customer parking to loaded trucks at the dock. We phase work around your operating hours and coordinate Texas811 locates on every excavation. |
| Parking Lot Repair & Resurfacing | From $650 | Potholes; failed sections; storm inlet rebuilds and full overlays for commercial property managers. We work fast to get the liability off your lot. Annual maintenance programs bundle inspection with patching and drainage checks so ponding and small failures never become tenant complaints. Sweeping available with any maintenance visit. |
| Recycled Asphalt & Millings Driveways | From $3/sq ft | Compacted asphalt millings make a solid budget-smart surface for long drives, ranch roads and equipment pads. It's a step up from gravel and binds tighter under Texas heat. We grade, spread and roll millings to shed water and tell you plainly where hot mix is worth the difference. |
| Tar & Chip Driveways | From $5/sq ft | Tar and chip is liquid asphalt with rolled stone chips for a textured, low-glare finish. It gives natural traction on wet country days. A classic choice for long rural drives at less than hot-mix cost; we maintain and re-chip existing oil-and-stone surfaces too. |
| Gravel Driveway Installation & Grading | From $950 | New gravel drives built in proper lifts of crushed limestone flex base over fabric. We also regrade; crown and fill potholes on lanes that washed out in spring storms. Good grading is also the first step of every future paving job, we build the base once and correctly over this blackland clay. |
| Private Road & HOA Paving | From $15,000 | Private lanes, HOA streets and gated-community roads get paved, overlaid and maintained. Same for townhome complexes and apartment drives. One contract covers it with board-ready documentation; phased scheduling around residents and reserve-study-friendly pricing. The big-linear-footage work most driveway outfits can't staff. |
| Driveway Extensions, Widening & Aprons | From $1,800 | Add a parking pad for the boat or the third car; widen a tight ribbon drive or rebuild a broken apron. We also pave RV and boat pads and tie every extension into your existing asphalt with milled seamless joints. Small-footprint jobs with full-size compaction standards. |
| Sports Court & Path Paving | From $8,500 | Backyard basketball courts, tennis and pickleball bases, walking paths and golf cart trails all get paved dead-flat. The tight-tolerance surface course is ready for acrylic color systems. We build the asphalt structure; your court stays true through Texas heat and clay movement. |
What Affects the Price
- Project Size and Square Footage : Larger projects typically cost less per square foot due to equipment efficiency and material bulk discounts. A 500 sq ft driveway will have a different per-unit cost than a 2,000 sq ft parking lot.
- Existing Condition and Site Preparation : If your current surface requires removal, milling, grading, or extensive base repair, preparation costs increase. A simple overlay costs less than full-depth replacement.
- Material Selection : Standard asphalt paving differs from premium options like tar and chip or recycled millings. Each material has its own durability, appearance, and cost profile.
- Accessibility and Site Complexity : Tight spaces, steep slopes, or difficult access may require specialized equipment or additional labor, affecting your final quote.
