Asphalt driveways that add value to your home
A new asphalt driveway is one of the quickest ways to improve how your home looks and how it drives. We install, replace and extend driveways for homeowners in Waco, Big Spring and the towns around them.
Serving Waco, Central Texas, DFW and West Texas
How we do it
We start with the ground: removing the old surface where needed, fixing soft spots and grading so water runs away from your home and garage. Then we lay and compact hot-mix asphalt for a smooth, clean finish.
Want something different for a long country drive? We also build tar and chip and concrete driveways, and we will tell you honestly which fits your property and budget.
Asphalt, tar and chip or concrete?
- Asphalt: smooth, clean and quiet, a good fit for town lots and shorter driveways. Typically 15 to 20 years or more with sealcoating every two to three years.
- Tar and chip: a rustic gravel look for a fraction of the cost of asphalt per foot, ideal for long country drives. Plan on a fresh layer around every 7 to 10 years.
- Concrete: the highest upfront cost and the longest life, often 25 years or more, with very little upkeep.
What happens on paving day
Most residential driveways take one to two days on site, plus a day or more of prep if the old surface comes out or the base needs work. Move vehicles, trailers and anything else off the driveway beforehand and plan where you will park. Afterward, keep cars off for 24 to 72 hours depending on the heat, and avoid turning the wheel while parked for the first few weeks.
Keeping it looking new
Seal cracks as they appear, clean up oil and fuel spills quickly, and sealcoat every two to three years starting about six months to a year after paving. That simple routine is the difference between a driveway that lasts 20 years and one that needs replacing in ten.
