Paving in Gatesville: what’s different here
Coryell County is ranch country: plateaus and grassland over limestone, with most of its farmland in pasture and beef cattle. Around Gatesville, a lot of what we build is long: ranch roads, private lanes and acreage driveways that have to handle trucks, trailers and livestock haulers.
For that kind of road, tar and chip is the workhorse. It costs far less per mile than asphalt, drains well, and on a properly crowned base it holds up to heavy trucks. Limestone ground gives a solid foundation; the work is in shaping the road so rain runs off instead of down the middle.
In town, Gatesville is the county seat, home to several state prison units and the businesses that serve them, which means commercial lots and access roads alongside the ranch work.

Before you pave in Gatesville
- Driveways onto US 84, SH 36 or other state highways need a TxDOT permit.
- Check with Coryell County about culverts where a driveway crosses a county road ditch.
- On a long ranch road, ask about crown and drainage before you ask about surface. That’s what keeps it from washing out.
- Chip seal roads last longest with a fresh seal every 7 to 10 years.

FAQ
Paving in Gatesville: common questions
How much does a ranch road cost compared with asphalt?
Tar and chip usually costs a fraction of asphalt per foot, which is why it’s the standard for long ranch roads. We price both so you can compare.
Can you fix an old caliche or gravel road?
Usually. We regrade, add base where it’s weak, crown it, and seal it with chip seal so it stops washing out and throwing rock.
Do you work out in the county?
Yes, all over Coryell County, including properties well outside Gatesville.
