Asphalt Paving in Frisco, TX
Private roads, acreage driveways, temporary construction paving, and upkeep for the asphalt lots Frisco already has.
The ground in Frisco
West Frisco, toward Lake Lewisville and Little Elm, sits on Eagle Ford clay. It's highly expansive, and foundations and pavements there move more than almost anywhere in the area. East Frisco is closer to the Austin Chalk and behaves better.
Stewart Creek, Panther Creek and Cottonwood Creek carry the runoff. Frisco has grown so quickly that a lot of ground was reshaped only recently, and fill placed in the last ten years is still settling in places. We probe for soft fill before we build a base on it.
Frisco is mostly concrete
You should know this before you call. Frisco's development standards generally call for concrete on new parking lots, fire lanes and residential driveways. If that's what you need, a concrete contractor is the right call, and we'll say so.
That still leaves a good amount of asphalt work.
Older properties come first. The businesses along Main Street and in the Rail District, and the centers on Preston Road built before the boom, have asphalt lots that need sealing, striping and the occasional overlay.
Then there are private roads and acreage. On the edges of the city, toward Prosper and along the county roads, larger properties have long private drives where asphalt costs half what concrete would. Some gated communities maintain their own asphalt streets as well.
The third kind is temporary paving. Builders call us for haul roads, laydown yards and parking for sales offices that only has to last through construction. Two inches of asphalt over a compacted base handles that for a fraction of the price of concrete. Recycled millings cost even less.
City rules to know
Check with Frisco's development office before planning any new permanent paving. We confirm what's allowed for your zoning and address before we quote. Temporary construction surfaces and maintenance of existing asphalt follow simpler rules.
How we schedule Frisco jobs
Temporary paving for builders is usually booked a week or two ahead and done in a day. HOA road work is scheduled with the board and announced to residents in advance. We pave one lane at a time so driveways stay reachable.

Frisco paving questions
Does Frisco allow asphalt driveways?
Generally not for new driveways in standard residential lots, where the city and most HOAs expect concrete. Long private drives on acreage and existing asphalt are different. We check your address before quoting.
How much does temporary asphalt paving cost?
$2.50 to $4.50 per square foot for 2 inches over a compacted base, and less for recycled millings. It's built to last through a construction project, which is usually one to three years.
