Pflugerville's subdivision streets east of I-35 sit on heavy Blackland Prairie clay, the kind that lifts a driveway when a storm soaks it and cracks it open weeks later in the dry stretch. Your new or aging asphalt driveway rides that swelling every year if the base was not built right from the start, and by the time you notice the heave and the cracks, water is running toward the garage.
Austin Asphalt Paving has been serving Pflugerville and the Austin area since 2012. We know the soil here, the drainage challenges, and the difference between a patch that holds and a repair that throws money away. When you call us at (737) 256-6070 for a free on-site estimate, you get a straightforward assessment of your driveway and what it actually needs.
Asphalt Paving in Pflugerville (78660)
Pflugerville's fast-growing subdivisions built through the 1990s and 2000s now carry driveways old enough for their first real resurfacing. The challenge here is the Blackland Prairie clay that underlies most of the area east of the interstate. When that clay is wet, it swells. When it dries, it shrinks and cracks. A driveway poured without adequate base preparation and compaction will heave and settle with every wet-then-dry cycle, and the asphalt on top breaks into alligator cracking and potholes. Storm water that does not drain away from the house becomes a second problem, especially on lots where the pitch has flattened or failed over time.
Our crews understand this soil and these conditions. We size the base, compact it properly, and grade for drainage so that water runs away from your home and garage, not toward them. We have been doing this work in Central Texas since 2012, and we know what lasts and what does not.

How a Job Works in Pflugerville
We start with a free on-site visit. We walk the driveway with you, measure it, check the base, look at the grade and drainage, and give you a written estimate with square footage and tonnage specs so you know exactly what you are paying for. We answer questions about what is wrong, why, and what repair or replacement makes sense for your budget and the condition of the drive.
Once you approve the estimate, we coordinate with you on timing and any local permitting. If your driveway apron crosses into the right-of-way or a curb cut is involved, we help you understand what the City of Pflugerville requires. Before we excavate for any full-depth replacement, grading, or extension work, we call Texas 811 for a utility locate, as required by law. Our crews show up on time, do the work to spec, and clean up the site when we are done. You get a final walkthrough so you can see the finished job.
Driveway paving in Pflugerville typically runs from $6 per square foot for a new installation, depending on the site, the base condition, and access for our paver and roller. Resurfacing an existing driveway costs less, starting from $4 per square foot, because we are working over a stable base. If your drive is cracked or rutted but the base is sound, resurfacing is usually the right call and saves money over replacement. Pothole repair and patching start at $450 for a single-vehicle repair, and a full driveway replacement runs from $7 per square foot. The actual cost depends on square footage, how accessible your lot is, the thickness of asphalt we lay, and what we find when we dig. Call us at (737) 256-6070 for a free estimate. We measure on site, give you a number in writing, and do not surprise you on the bill.
