Manor sits east of Austin on heavy Blackland Prairie clay, where subdivision driveways built in the 1990s and 2000s now face a problem most homeowners don't expect: soil that swells when rain soaks it and cracks when it dries out. A driveway poured without a solid compacted base rides that heaving every year, and by now, many Manor driveways in the 78653 area show the alligator cracking and settlement that comes from a subgrade that was never built for expansive soil.

That's why homeowners and property managers in Manor call Austin Asphalt Paving. We've been serving the Austin area and surrounding communities since 2012, and we know exactly what the clay belt does to asphalt. When a Manor driveway cracks, settles, or develops potholes, we can repair it honestly, resurface it if the base is still sound, or replace it right with proper base preparation so it stays flat through the next wet season.

Asphalt Paving in Manor (78653)

Manor's subdivision streets sit on soil that is not forgiving. The Blackland Prairie clay that underlies the area expands when wet and contracts when dry, and a driveway slab poured over inadequate base preparation will heave with it. You see it in driveways that are perfectly fine one month and cracked the next, or that have settled so a puddle sits at the garage apron after a rain. That same clay can also wash away if drainage is poor, leaving voids under the pavement that eventually collapse into potholes.

We work with Manor's soil and terrain, not against it. For driveway repair and pothole patching, our fully insured crews get in quickly and patch the failed section so you can use your drive again. For driveways that are cracking across thirty or forty percent of the surface, resurfacing over a sound base is often the right call, and costs less than full replacement. When a driveway has to be replaced, we build the base properly, with compacted stone and adequate thickness, so it handles the clay's movement year after year.

We also work on Manor parking lots, private roads, and HOA-managed streets, where the same clay and drainage challenges show up on a larger scale. Our team has been serving Manor and the surrounding Austin area for over a decade, and we understand the specific demands of this region.

How a Job Works in Manor

It starts with a phone call to (737) 256-6070. We come out to your property at no charge, measure the driveway or lot, look at the condition of the pavement and the base, and discuss what's actually failed and what will fix it. We listen to what you've seen (water pooling, cracking, settling, potholes) and explain what's causing it. If repair or resurfacing makes sense, we'll say so. If replacement is the only honest answer, we'll explain why and what it will cost.

We provide a written estimate that includes the square footage, the thickness of material we'll lay, and the tonnage of asphalt or recycled millings. You'll know exactly what you're paying for. We handle coordination with your HOA if you're in a master-planned community, and we can advise you on any local permits or approvals your property may need, though permitting requirements vary by jurisdiction and you should verify with Manor's building department.

On the day of work, our crew shows up on time with the equipment needed for the job. We do the work cleanly, haul away the old material if we're removing it, and leave your property ready to use. You get a final walkthrough so you can see the work is done right.

Pricing for asphalt paving in Manor depends on the size of the job, the condition of the base, and what material you choose. A new asphalt driveway typically runs from $6 per square foot, while resurfacing an existing drive with a solid base starts around $4 per square foot. Driveway repair and pothole patching start at $450 per job, and are often the right choice when you have just a few problem spots. A full driveway replacement, where we remove the old pavement and build a new base, runs from $7 per square foot. If you're interested in recycled asphalt millings (a more economical option that works well for rural Manor properties and gravel lanes), that starts at $3 per square foot. Tar and chip driveways, which give a rustic look and are popular on Manor's rural properties, start at $5 per square foot. For parking lots and commercial properties, we provide free estimates so you know the cost before you commit. Call us at (737) 256-6070 with the square footage of your driveway or lot, and we'll give you a ballpark figure and schedule a free on-site measurement and assessment.

My Manor driveway heaves and cracks every year, especially after a wet winter. Is this normal?

It's common in Manor because of the Blackland Prairie clay underneath. When soil with high clay content gets wet, it expands, and when it dries out, it shrinks. A driveway poured without a properly compacted stone base will ride that movement every year, and you'll see new cracks develop. The fix depends on how bad the damage is. If the cracking is scattered and the driveway is still mostly sound, resurfacing over a good base can work. If the slab is badly broken or has settled significantly, replacement with proper base preparation is the only answer. Either way, we build the base right so your next driveway doesn't do the same thing.

I have a pothole in my Manor driveway after the last heavy rain. How quickly can you repair it?

Call us at (737) 256-6070 and we can usually schedule a pothole repair within a few days. Potholes are a safety and liability issue, so we prioritize them. Our fully insured crew will come out, cut back the failed asphalt to solid pavement, clean out any debris or soft material underneath, and patch it with new asphalt compacted properly. A typical pothole repair starts at $450. If you have multiple potholes or extensive cracking across the drive, we'll assess whether patching is the right approach or whether resurfacing would be more cost-effective.

What does a new asphalt driveway cost in Manor?

A new asphalt driveway in Manor typically runs from $6 per square foot for the material and labor, depending on the size of the job and the condition of the ground underneath. A 500-square-foot driveway would be in the $3,000 range, but the actual price depends on several factors: whether we need to remove and haul away old pavement, the quality of the base we have to work with, how much grading and compaction the site needs, and access for the paver and roller. The best way to know is to call (737) 256-6070 for a free on-site estimate. We'll measure the drive, look at the soil and drainage, and give you a written quote with the square footage and tonnage included.

Do I need a permit from Manor to pave my driveway or repair the apron where it meets the street?

Permitting rules vary by municipality, and Manor's requirements may differ from neighboring areas. The apron where your driveway meets the street is often regulated by the city, and a curb cut or driveway extension may require approval. We recommend calling Manor's building department or public works office to verify what permits or approvals your specific project needs. If you're in an HOA-managed community in Manor, you'll also need to check your architectural guidelines before you start, because many HOAs have rules about driveway materials and dimensions. We can help you navigate the process once you know what your jurisdiction requires.

I'm in a Manor HOA and want to widen my driveway. What do I need to do?

First, check your HOA's architectural standards and design guidelines, because most master-planned communities have rules about driveway width, material, and appearance. Once you know what the HOA allows, contact your architectural review board with a plan of what you want to do. If they approve it, then verify with Manor's building department whether a permit is needed for the apron or curb cut. We can help with the construction once approvals are in place. Driveway widening and extensions start at $1,800 depending on the size and the condition of the existing base. Call us at (737) 256-6070 to discuss your project.

Are you fully insured to do paving work in Manor?

We are fully insured with general liability and workers' compensation coverage for all our work. Licensing and permit requirements for paving work are set by the city, and they vary from place to place, so we recommend verifying with Manor's building department what credentials or registrations any contractor should have before you hire them. You should always ask to see proof of insurance and ask for references from previous jobs in your area.

When can I use my new asphalt driveway after it's paved?

You can drive on new asphalt right away, but it will continue to cure for six to twelve months depending on weather. During that curing period, the asphalt is still settling and hardening, so avoid parking in the same spot for extended periods or leaving heavy equipment sitting on it. Also, do not seal-coat the driveway during the first year. Sealing too early can trap moisture and cause problems. Once the driveway is fully cured, regular maintenance like keeping it clean and addressing any cracks promptly will extend its life. In Manor's climate, with the wet winters and dry summers, a well-built driveway should give you fifteen to twenty years of service before resurfacing becomes necessary.
