Austin's central neighborhoods like Hyde Park and Travis Heights are built on pre-war bungalows with narrow, deep lots and short driveways that were poured thin over compacted caliche decades ago, long before modern base standards. Those driveways are cracking, settling, and heaving now, and they need a proper base and overlay to hold up.

Austin Asphalt Paving has been serving Austin and the surrounding areas since 2012. We work on residential driveways, parking lots, private roads, and the aprons where your drive meets the street. Our team is fully insured, we show up in person to measure and assess the job, and we give you a written estimate with tonnage and thickness specs so you know exactly what you're getting.

Asphalt Paving in Austin (78703)

Austin's driveway problems are rooted in soil and climate. In the central neighborhoods, thin asphalt over caliche fails because the base was never built to handle the weight and the seasonal movement. In the post-war ranch ring around Northwest Hills and Allandale, wider driveways are aging into their first real resurfacing. But the biggest challenge runs across the whole area: expansive clay. When the Blackland Prairie clay soaks up water in a wet season and then dries out weeks later, it swells and shrinks, cracking asphalt and breaking edges. A driveway without a compacted base rides that movement every year. Add the Hill Country's high-intensity storms, and you get runoff cutting into ungraded surfaces and washing out the shoulders.

We've been paving in Austin since 2012. We know which driveways need a full replacement with a proper base, which ones can be resurfaced over an existing slab, and which ones just need a patch to hold another season. We bring a roller and a paver that fit tight lots, we coordinate with HOAs when the rules require it, and we work with the local permitting process for aprons and curb cuts.

How a Job Works in Austin

You call us at (737) 256-6070 or reach out online. We come to your property, measure the driveway or lot, look at the base and the grade, check the drainage, and talk through what's actually wrong and what it will cost to fix. We give you a written estimate with the square footage, the thickness, the tonnage, and the price. No surprises.

When you're ready, we schedule the work. If it's a driveway apron or a curb cut that touches the right-of-way, we help you navigate the local permitting. We mill or remove the old surface if needed, prepare and grade the base, bring in the asphalt, and lay it with a paver and a roller. In tight lots in Hyde Park or Travis Heights, we work with the space we have. If your property is in an HOA, we coordinate with the architectural review before we start.

When we're done, we clean up the site, haul away the debris, and walk through the job with you. Your driveway is ready to use right away, though the asphalt will continue to cure for the first six to twelve months, so hold off on any sealcoating until that's done.

Asphalt driveway paving in Austin typically runs from $6 per square foot for new installation, depending on the base condition, the thickness, and the site access. A resurfacing or overlay over an existing slab costs less, starting around $4 per square foot. A simple pothole or patch repair starts at $450. A full driveway replacement, with milling and a new base, runs from $7 per square foot. Parking lot work varies widely by size and condition; we provide a free commercial estimate. The real cost drivers are the square footage, whether the existing base is salvageable, how thick the new asphalt needs to be, and how easy it is to get the paver and roller onto the site. Call us at (737) 256-6070 for a free on-site estimate with a written price and tonnage specs.

My driveway in Hyde Park is cracking and one edge is heaving. Is it worth repairing, or do I need to replace the whole thing?

If the cracking is scattered and the heaving is localized to one or two spots, a patch or a targeted repair might buy you another few years, especially if the rest of the surface is sound. But if the heaving is widespread or if you see alligator cracking (a network of small cracks across the surface), the base is failing and a patch won't hold. In that case, a full replacement with a compacted base is the right call. We assess the damage on site and tell you honestly which approach makes sense for your property.

A pothole opened up in my driveway after the last heavy rain. How quickly can you fill it, and will it last?

We can usually schedule pothole repair within a week or two. A properly patched pothole, with the edges cleaned out and new asphalt compacted in, holds well if the surrounding surface is solid. If the pothole is part of a larger failed area, we'll let you know that a patch is temporary and a resurfacing makes more sense. Call (737) 256-6070 and describe the damage; we'll give you a realistic timeline and price.

What should I budget for a new driveway in Austin?

A typical residential driveway in Austin runs 400 to 600 square feet. At $6 per square foot for new paving with a proper base, that's roughly $2,400 to $3,600. If you're resurfacing an existing driveway that has a solid base, the cost drops to around $1,600 to $2,400. Site access, the condition of the existing base, and any grading or drainage work will shift that number. A free on-site estimate is the only way to know for sure.

Do I need a permit to pave my driveway or extend it in Austin?

Permitting rules in Austin vary depending on whether the work touches the right-of-way (the apron where your driveway meets the street, or a curb cut). The City of Austin sets those rules, and some work does require a permit. We help you navigate the local process and coordinate with the city if needed. If your property is in an HOA, the HOA may also have architectural standards for driveway material and extensions. Check with your HOA first, then verify the city rules on the City of Austin website or call the building department to be sure.

My driveway is shared with a neighbor. Can we both agree to repave it, and who pays for what?

A shared driveway is a joint property, and both owners typically have equal rights and responsibilities. Before any work starts, you and your neighbor should agree in writing on the scope, the cost, and how the bill will be split. If there's a property line dispute, a surveyor can clarify the boundary. We pave the driveway as you and your neighbor direct; the payment arrangement is between you two. If the work touches the right-of-way or involves a curb cut, permitting rules still apply.

Are you fully insured for driveway work at my home?

Yes. We carry full general liability and workers' compensation insurance. Before any work begins, we'll provide proof of insurance. That protects you and your property if anything goes wrong during the job.

When can I use my new driveway, and should I seal it right away?

Your new asphalt is ready to drive on the day it's laid, but it continues to cure for the first six to twelve months. During that time, the surface is still releasing oils and hardening. Do not apply a sealcoat during the cure period; it will trap moisture and damage the surface. After the asphalt has fully cured, regular maintenance like filling cracks and clearing debris will extend its life. We'll give you care instructions when the job is done.
