| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Asphalt Driveway Paving & Installation | From $6/sq ft | Austin driveways sit on either shrink-swell clay east of I-35 or thin soil over limestone to the west. We build the base to match, compacting a thicker section over clay or cutting into rock, then lay hot mix pitched to shed storm runoff. |
| Driveway Repair | From $450 | Austin driveways crack and lift where Blackland Prairie clay swells after a storm then dries out weeks later. We open the cracked sections, rebuild the base where clay has washed out, and patch with hot mix so the surface holds through the next dry spell. |
| Pothole Repair & Asphalt Patching | From $450 | Austin potholes usually open up where clay under the driveway has shifted after a storm and dried out fast. We cut out the failed spot, rebuild the base, and patch flush with hot mix so it does not reopen after the next Hill Country downpour. |
| Asphalt Resurfacing & Overlay | From $4/sq ft | An Austin driveway with a sound base but a worn surface is a good candidate for resurfacing. We mill down the tired surface, tack it for a strong bond, then lay fresh binder and surface courses pitched to clear Austin's sudden downpours. |
| Asphalt Milling & Removal | From $1,500 | Milling in Austin cuts a worn surface down to a base built for clay or rock. We grind off the old layer, expose the aggregate base, and haul away millings so the next lift ties in flush without carrying old damage forward. |
| Driveway Replacement | From $7/sq ft | A driveway past patching in Austin usually gets torn out to the clay or rock underneath and rebuilt from there. We remove the old slab, rebuild the base to match the ground on your lot, and pour new hot mix pitched to shed Austin's summer storms. |
| Parking Lot Paving & Construction | Free commercial estimate | Commercial lots along the I-35 growth corridor need a base built for clay east of the highway or rock to the west. We grade for drainage, compact a base sized for heavy trucks, and lay hot mix rated for Austin's triple-digit summers and sudden storms. |
| Parking Lot Repair & Resurfacing | From $650 | A parking lot along the Austin growth corridor usually fails from the base up after a wet-then-dry clay cycle. We cut out the failed section, rebuild the base, and patch it flush with hot mix so it holds through the next storm season. |
| Recycled Asphalt & Millings Driveways | From $3/sq ft | Recycled millings give a rural Bastrop or Burnet County lane a solid surface without the cost of new hot mix. We grade the lane, compact recycled millings in layers, and shape it to shed water so a long county-road driveway stays firm between storms. |
| Tar & Chip Driveways | From $5/sq ft | Tar and chip gives a Hill Country lane texture that grips steep grades and sheds runoff well. We grade the base, seal with hot liquid asphalt, and set stone chips so the surface stays gripping even on the steepest hill-country climb. |
| Gravel Driveway Installation & Grading | From $950 | A gravel drive off a rural Bastrop road needs grading that sheds water instead of channeling it downhill. We grade the base, crown it to move runoff off the drive, and lay gravel sized for a long county-road lane rather than a paved surface. |
| Private Road & HOA Paving | From $15,000 | Private roads in Round Rock and Kyle subdivisions carry daily traffic on ground now old enough for resurfacing. We plan a full-depth build, compact the base to carry HOA traffic, and lay hot mix sized for the growth corridor's steady wear. |
| Driveway Extensions, Widening & Aprons | From $1,800 | A driveway apron at the street in Austin takes the hardest hit from storm runoff rushing off the yard. We widen the slab where needed, key new hot mix into the existing edge, and slope the apron so runoff clears the gutter quickly. |
| Sports Court & Path Paving | From $8,500 | A backyard court in Austin needs a base built for clay that swells east of I-35 or thin soil over rock to the west. We grade and compact a stable base, then finish with hot mix so the court plays flat through drought and deluge. |
What Affects the Price
- Project Size and Square Footage : Larger projects typically have lower per-square-foot costs due to economies of scale. A 500 sq ft driveway will have different pricing than a 2,000 sq ft parking lot.
- Surface Condition and Preparation : Existing damage, poor drainage, soil stability, and required base preparation significantly impact the final cost. Heavy repairs or complete removal may increase the project price.
- Material Selection : Choose from standard asphalt, recycled millings, or tar and chip surfaces. Premium materials and specialized finishes will affect your overall investment.
- Site Accessibility and Location : Difficult terrain, limited access, or remote locations in the Austin area may require additional equipment or labor, which can increase project costs.
