Caliche drives

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.

Older asphalt

Where an existing driveway has broken up, we remove it, rebuild the base and pave fresh. Where it is firm but faded, a sealcoat buys years.

Drainage

Higher ground drains better, but storms still run hard across open lots. Every driveway gets a slope that sends water away from the house.

Costs

HomeGuide puts new asphalt at $5 to $12 or more per square foot and sealcoating at $1 to $2. Repair minimums typically run $100 to $250, so grouping repairs helps.

Heat

In summer, new asphalt needs 3 to 5 days before parking. Sealing every few years after it cures keeps the sun from drying it out.

Paving in stages

Many families pave the parking pad by the house first and add the run to the road later. We plan the first phase so the second ties in cleanly.

Small jobs welcome

A short driveway or a single pad is a normal job for us.
