An asphalt driveway is a practical choice for many Houston homes. It's usually quicker to install and less costly up front than concrete, it's easy to repair, and its dark finish looks sharp against a lawn.
We pave new driveways, replace worn ones, add parking pads and extensions, and convert gravel or caliche drives to asphalt for homes across the Houston area, from subdivision lots to long rural drives.
What's included
- New asphalt driveways
- Removal and replacement of old driveways
- Gravel and caliche to asphalt conversions
- Driveway widening, extensions and parking pads
- Base preparation and drainage away from the house
- Clean edges along lawns, sidewalks and the street
When it's time for a new driveway
- The surface is cracked across most of the driveway, not just in a few spots.
- Puddles form or water runs toward the garage or house.
- Gravel keeps washing out, rutting or ending up in the lawn.
- You need more room for vehicles, a trailer or a boat.
How a driveway is paved
Measure and plan
We confirm the shape, width, drainage and any HOA requirements.
Remove and grade
Old material is removed and the ground is shaped so water drains away from the house.
Base
An aggregate base is placed and compacted.
Pave and roll
Hot asphalt is laid and rolled smooth, with neat edges.
Cure
You keep vehicles off for the time we recommend so the surface firms up.
What affects the price
Every property is different, so we price each job after seeing the site. The main factors are:
- Driveway length and width
- Removal of an existing driveway
- Base work and grading
- Asphalt thickness
- Access for trucks and equipment
Driveways in Houston's heat
Fresh asphalt stays softer in Houston's summer heat. For the first few weeks, avoid turning wheels while parked, parking trailers or motorcycles on kickstands, and driving onto the edges.
Many Houston-area neighborhoods have HOA rules on driveway materials and appearance. Check with your HOA before the work, and we can provide the details they ask for.
Asphalt Driveways questions
Is asphalt good for driveways in Houston?
Yes, as long as it has a solid base and good drainage. Asphalt handles Houston's soil movement well and is easy to repair if cracks appear.
How long before I can park on a new asphalt driveway?
Usually a few days for cars, longer for heavy vehicles. We'll give you specific timing based on the weather when we pave.
Can you replace part of a driveway?
Yes. Damaged sections can be cut out and repaved, though a full replacement may be better if the damage is widespread.
