What we pave
Asphalt Driveway Paving
We dig out the old driveway, compact six inches of flex base, and lay two to three inches of hot mix. Most driveways take one day. Walk on it that evening and park on it after 24 to 48 hours.
Parking Lot Paving
New lots get a graded stone base, 3 to 4 inches of hot mix in two lifts, and a one to two percent slope toward the drains. We phase the work so your entrance stays open.
Commercial Asphalt Paving
Warehouses, strip centers and church lots need a heavier build. We put 4 inches of hot mix over 8 inches of base where trucks run, and we work nights or weekends so tenants keep their spots.
Asphalt Resurfacing
If the base is sound, we don't dig it out. We mill off the top 1.5 to 2 inches, fix the soft spots, and lay a new surface course. It costs about half of a full replacement.
Sealcoating
Sealcoat is a thin layer of asphalt emulsion that blocks sun and water. We clean the surface, fill the cracks and apply two coats. It needs 24 to 48 hours to cure and a dry forecast.
Pothole Repair
We saw-cut the hole square, dig out the wet base, and pack hot mix in lifts so the patch doesn't break up. Cold patch from a hardware store is gone in a few weeks.
Asphalt Crack Sealing
Cracks wider than a quarter inch let water into the clay base, and that's where potholes start. We blow out the crack, fill it with hot rubberized sealant and finish it flush. Fall is the best time.
Asphalt Milling
We grind off 1 to 4 inches of worn asphalt and haul it away for recycling. Milling resets the grade so an overlay doesn't bury your curbs and door thresholds. A one acre lot mills in a day.
Parking Lot Striping
We lay out stalls from your plan, usually 9 by 18 feet, and paint accessible stalls with access aisles plus fire lanes. Fresh sealcoat can be striped after 24 to 48 hours. Paint dries in about 30 minutes.
A word from the crew
When you call, a person picks up. We come out and measure before we give a number, because a price from a satellite photo is a guess. If your lot only needs crack sealing and a sealcoat, we'll tell you that and quote that. Hot mix on a July afternoon is a bad plan, so summer jobs start at sunrise. The price we quote is the price you pay. If something changes once the old surface is off, you hear it from us first.
Why choose us
We build for summer heat
Asphalt surfaces in Dallas pass 140 degrees in July, and a soft mix ruts under truck tires. We match the binder grade to the traffic on your property. Truck lanes get a stiffer mix than car stalls.
We build for clay
North Texas clay swells when it's wet and shrinks when it's dry, and a thin base follows it up and down. We put six inches of compacted flex base under most driveways. The thin jobs are the ones that crack by next August.
We grade for storms
A lot that floods at the low corner was usually paved flat. We shoot the grade before we pave and set a slope of one to two percent toward the drain. Standing water breaks asphalt down faster than traffic does.
We itemize the quote
Your quote lists square footage, base depth, asphalt thickness and price per square foot. If we find soft ground once we start digging, we show you before the price changes.

Paving questions, answered
How much does asphalt paving cost per square foot in Dallas?
$4 to $8 per square foot for new asphalt with the base included, depending on base depth and access. Resurfacing a sound surface runs $2 to $4. A 600 square foot driveway usually lands between $2,400 and $4,800 new.
How long does asphalt last in Texas heat?
15 to 20 years with sealcoating every 2 to 3 years, and closer to 10 to 12 without it. Summer sun dries out the surface and clay movement opens cracks. Both are slow, and both are cheap to slow down.
Is asphalt or concrete better for a Dallas driveway?
Asphalt costs about half as much up front and flexes a little with clay soil, and a cracked section gets patched in an afternoon. Concrete lasts longer on a good base, but a cracked slab has to be cut out and replaced. Some cities and HOAs require concrete, so check before you choose.
How soon can I drive on new asphalt?
48 hours in summer and 24 hours in cooler weather. You can walk on it the same evening. Keep heavy trucks and RVs off for a week, and don't turn the steering wheel while parked for the first few weeks, because warm asphalt scuffs.
When is the best season to pave in Dallas?
Spring and fall. Mild temperatures give the crew more time to compact, and hot mix needs air and ground above 50 degrees, which Dallas has most of the year. We pave in July and August too. We just start at sunrise.
How often should I sealcoat asphalt?
Every 2 to 3 years, starting 6 to 12 months after new paving. Dallas sun turns the surface gray and brittle quickly, and sealcoat is the cheapest protection you can add. Fill wide cracks first, because sealcoat only covers the surface.
