Cedar Park's 1990s and 2000s subdivisions sit on Blackland clay that swells when storms soak it and cracks open weeks later in the dry stretch, and driveways poured without enough compacted base fail early and often. Austin Asphalt Paving has been serving Cedar Park and the surrounding Austin area since 2012, and we know exactly why your driveway is cracking, settling, or rutting.
Homeowners in the 78613 ZIP code call us because we're local, we're fully insured, and we explain what's wrong and what it costs to fix it honestly. We handle residential driveways, parking lots, private roads, pothole repair, resurfacing, and full replacement, and we've learned the soil and weather patterns that make Cedar Park driveways behave the way they do.
Asphalt Paving in Cedar Park (78613)
Cedar Park sits on Blackland Prairie clay, and that clay is the reason so many driveways crack and heave. When rain soaks the subgrade, the clay expands. When the dry spell comes, it shrinks and pulls away from the asphalt above it. A driveway poured with a thin base or no base at all rides that swelling every year, and the cracks get wider and deeper. The problem isn't the asphalt itself. It's what's underneath.
Most of the driveways we repair in Cedar Park were poured directly on compacted caliche or clay with no proper gravel base. That was common practice in the 1990s and 2000s when these subdivisions went in, and it's why we now see so many driveways old enough for their first real resurfacing. We also work on parking lots for commercial properties, private roads within HOAs, and driveway extensions and aprons that meet the street. Tight lot access in some subdivisions means we size our equipment carefully, and we coordinate with Cedar Park's building department and with HOAs to make sure we follow local rules on impervious surface, stormwater, and architectural standards.
Our team has served Cedar Park and the Austin area since 2012. We measure every job on site, provide written estimates with tonnage and thickness specs, and we're fully insured with general liability and workers' compensation coverage.

How a Job Works in Cedar Park
You call us at (737) 256-6070 or reach out online, and we schedule a free on-site assessment. We look at the driveway or lot, test the base if we need to, check the grade and drainage, and talk through what's actually failed and what the repair or replacement will cost. We bring a written estimate with measurements, tonnage, and thickness specs so you know exactly what you're paying for.
Before we start work, we verify any local permits required by the City of Cedar Park. Driveway aprons, curb cuts, and work in the right-of-way may need permits depending on what we're doing, and we help you navigate that. If your property is in an HOA, we confirm that architectural standards allow the work. We also call Texas 811 for utility locates before any excavation, milling, or grading.
On the day of the job, our crew removes the old surface if needed, prepares and compacts the base, and lays new asphalt to the thickness and density your driveway requires. We leave the property clean and do a final walkthrough with you to make sure everything is right. New asphalt needs time to cure, so we ask you to stay off it for 24 to 48 hours in cool weather, longer if it's hot.
A new asphalt driveway in Cedar Park typically runs from $6 per square foot and up, depending on the size, the base condition, and how thick we need to build it. Resurfacing an existing driveway, where the base is still sound, starts at $4 per square foot. Pothole repair and patching start at $450, but if your driveway is more than 30 to 40 percent failed with alligator cracking across large areas, patching throws money away. Resurfacing or replacement is the right call. Gravel driveways and recycled millings are lower-cost options if your property allows them. The best way to know what your job will cost is to call us at (737) 256-6070 for a free on-site estimate. We'll measure, assess the base, and give you a price in writing.
