Services
Paving, repairs, and road surfaces for homes, ranches, and businesses.
We work on driveways, parking lots, private roads, ranch roads, worn pavement, and practical lower-cost surface options.
Asphalt paving
New asphalt for driveways, parking lots, private roads, and commercial access.
Where it fits: Asphalt is a strong choice when you want a smooth, finished surface that will carry regular vehicle traffic.
We install hot-mix asphalt for residential and commercial properties throughout Central Texas. Asphalt provides a clean finished surface, holds up well in changing weather, and can be repaired in sections as it ages. Unlike loose road base, it does not wash away during normal rain and traffic.
- Residential driveways and approaches
- Commercial parking lots and access lanes
- Private roads and rural driveways
- Asphalt overlays when the existing pavement and base are suitable
Many new asphalt surfaces can be reopened in about 24 hours. The exact timing depends on weather, the job, and the crew’s instructions.
Why asphalt works well
- Durable, strong, and weather-resistant
- A smooth, clean appearance
- Convenient for cars, trucks, trailers, and equipment
- Usually faster to install and reopen than concrete
- Repairable, maintainable, and recyclable
Chip seal / tar and chip
A practical paved surface for ranch roads, subdivisions, and long private driveways.
Where it fits: Chip seal is often a good fit when a long road needs a finished surface but full hot-mix asphalt is outside the budget.
Chip seal—also called tar and chip—combines hot liquid asphalt with layers of crushed stone. We use it most often on ranch roads, rural driveways, subdivision roads, and other lower-traffic areas. It has a natural stone appearance and can cover a large area for less than full asphalt.
- Ranch and acreage roads
- Long private driveways
- Subdivision and lower-traffic roads
- Different aggregate colors when available
- A long-lasting alternative that does not require traditional sealcoating
A good chip-seal road starts with a properly prepared base and working drainage. Those parts matter just as much as the finished surface.
How chip seal is installed
- We clean the road and repair holes or weak areas.
- We place and compact an adequate layer of commercial road base.
- Hot liquid asphalt is sprayed evenly over the prepared base.
- Crushed stone is spread over the asphalt and rolled into place.
- A second asphalt-and-stone application may be added and rolled.
The asphalt must stay hot and fluid so the stone can bind under the roller. The aggregate is crushed to a consistent size for a cleaner driving surface.
Sealcoating
Protect older asphalt and bring back a clean black finish.
Where it fits: Sealcoating makes sense when the pavement still has a sound structure but needs protection from sun, rain, and everyday wear.
Sealcoating is a protective asphalt-emulsion layer that is sprayed or brushed over existing pavement. It refreshes the look of older blacktop and helps slow weathering and oxidation.
- Helps weatherproof existing asphalt
- Improves the first impression of a driveway or parking area
- Can extend the useful life of the surface
- May help avoid more expensive repairs when applied at the right time
Cracks, potholes, and failed areas should be repaired before sealcoating. Sealcoat improves and protects the surface, but it cannot repair a weak base.
Why maintenance matters
As asphalt ages, it becomes brittle. Traffic opens existing cracks, and rain can reach the base underneath. Repairing damage and applying sealcoat before the pavement fails can protect the original investment and bring back a freshly paved appearance.
Asphalt repair
Repair cracks, potholes, and damaged sections before water makes the problem worse.
Where it fits: Repairs are useful when damage is limited and the surrounding pavement still has useful life left.
Water is one of the biggest causes of asphalt failure in Texas. Once it gets through cracks or potholes, it can weaken the base below the pavement. We repair damaged areas and use hot liquid asphalt or rubberized crack treatments to help keep water out of the deeper layers.

Signs it is time to call
- Cracks are opening or spreading
- Potholes are holding water
- The edge is breaking away
- The pavement moves or feels soft under traffic
- Rain is washing material out from underneath
Grading and base preparation
Prepare the ground, correct weak spots, and shape drainage before the final surface is installed.
Where it fits: Grading and base work are needed when the site is uneven, muddy, washed out, soft, or sending water in the wrong direction.
A paved surface is only as dependable as the ground underneath it. We grade the site, improve runoff, correct soft areas, and build a compacted base for asphalt, chip seal, or aggregate. Proper access also matters because trucks, pavers, rollers, and grading equipment must be able to reach the job safely.
- Driveway and site grading
- Commercial road-base placement
- Drainage and runoff shaping
- Excavation, land clearing, and leveling when needed
- Preparation for asphalt, chip seal, concrete, or aggregate
The recommendation depends on soil, slope, drainage, traffic, and equipment access at the property.
What we look at
Low spots, runoff, soft ground, slope, expected traffic, and equipment access all affect the amount of base and grading a project may need.
Road base and paving alternatives
Lower-cost surfaces for rural access, parking areas, walks, and properties that do not need full asphalt.
Where it fits: These materials can be a practical fit for long rural drives, low-traffic areas, temporary improvements, or projects with a tighter budget.
We can discuss several alternatives to full asphalt, including commercial road base, crushed granite, gravel, recycled crushed asphalt, mulch, and chip seal. The right choice depends on slope, traffic, appearance, upkeep, and budget.
- Commercial-grade crushed limestone road base
- Crushed granite for flatter driveways, parking areas, and walks
- Gravel in different colors and stone sizes
- Recycled crushed asphalt for a longer-lasting compacted surface
- Mulch as a very low-cost answer for muddy parking or access areas
- Portland-cement dusting for a lighter, concrete-like asphalt finish
Loose aggregate may need occasional grading or added material. Granite is generally better on flatter areas than steep hills or inclines.
Choosing an aggregate finish
Pink granite is common around Marble Falls and Llano and fits many Hill Country properties. Fine granite or gravel can also create a smoother route when the grade and installation are right. Recycled crushed asphalt is used much like road base but can provide greater longevity.
Comparing the options
Which surface makes sense for the property and the budget?
This is a starting point. Drainage, slope, soil, traffic, and the condition of the existing base can change the recommendation.
