Asphalt Paving in Freer, TX

Asphalt paving in Freer works around a highway crossroads. US 59 runs east-west through town as Riley Street, State Highway 44 shares Riley Street with it, and SH 16 crosses in the center of town. Freer had 2,461 residents and 1,119 housing units in 2020 on about 4.1 square miles at 518 feet of elevation.

Riley Street businesses

Businesses along the highways see trucks and steady through traffic. Lots need heavier entrances, patching where trucks turn and clear striping. Access onto US 59, SH 44 or SH 16 goes through TxDOT.

Homes

In-town driveways are often older asphalt or caliche. We replace failed asphalt over rebuilt base and pave firm caliche.

Caliche

Caliche is the base material of choice across this part of South Texas because it is local and cheap. It is firm when dry, but it softens when it gets wet. So we compact firm caliche, replace anything that has rutted or pumped mud, and grade so storm water leaves quickly.

Travel

We group Freer work with other jobs in the area to keep travel costs down. City streets are handled by the City of Freer. Call (956) 634-2265 or get a free estimate.

Costs

HomeGuide lists new asphalt driveways at $5 to $12 or more per square foot and asphalt repair minimums at $100 to $250. Grouping several repairs or driveways in one visit keeps costs down.

Heat

In summer, new pavement needs a few days before heavy use. We schedule early starts and give clear instructions.

Through traffic

With three state and federal highways meeting in town, lots on Riley Street see trucks turning in all day. Entrances and the first few car lengths inside them are where these lots fail first, so that is where we add base and thickness.
