Palmview's newer residential streets along the Mission growth corridor are built on sandy loam that compacts well once the base is done right, but that same ground moves through wet and dry spells, and every driveway needs real pitch and drainage or water just sits on the slab after a Gulf storm. McAllen Asphalt Paving has served Palmview and the surrounding McAllen area since 2010, and we know exactly what it takes to build a driveway that holds in this climate.
Homeowners and property managers in ZIP 78572 call us because we show up local, we measure and estimate on site, we explain what the ground needs before we pave, and we do not oversell replacement when repair or resurfacing makes sense. If your driveway is cracking, settling, or holding water after a heavy rain, we can tell you why and what it will cost to fix it right.
Asphalt Paving in Palmview (78572)
Palmview sits on the same delta alluvium as McAllen, with sandy and silty loam that can shift when it cycles through wet and dry seasons. A driveway or parking lot here has to be built with a compacted aggregate base and proper drainage, because the slab alone will not hold if the subgrade moves. Pitch matters too. We build every drive at roughly a quarter inch per foot so that water runs off instead of pooling at the garage or foundation. The heat and humidity here are what break pavement over time, narrowing the summer compaction window, so the base has to be prepared and rolled right the first time. Tropical storms off the Gulf can dump heavy rain in a few hours, and that is when a lot without real drainage becomes a liability and a safety issue.
We have been doing this work in Palmview and across the McAllen area for over a decade. We know the soil, the drainage challenges, the HOA rules that govern driveway extensions and materials, and the local permitting process. We show up with insured crews, we bring the right equipment for the lot size and access, and we leave the property clean.

How a Job Works in Palmview
We start with a free on-site assessment. You call us at (956) 578-6392, describe what is happening with your driveway or lot, and we come out to look at it, measure, check the drainage and the base, and talk through what needs to happen. We give you a written estimate with the square footage, the tonnage of material, and the thickness of the asphalt we are laying. That estimate is honest. If the driveway can be patched or resurfaced instead of replaced, we say so.
The work itself depends on what the driveway needs. If it is a new driveway or a full replacement, we prepare and compact the base, set the pitch, and lay hot mix asphalt in a binder course and a surface course. If the lot is tight or the access is narrow, we have the right equipment and the experience to work in that space. If there is an HOA, we coordinate with the architectural review before we start. Permits vary by jurisdiction, and we help you navigate that process with the City of Palmview or your HOA.
When the paving is done, we clean up the site, haul away the debris, and walk through the finished work with you. Your property is left clean and ready to use.
A new asphalt driveway in Palmview typically runs from $6 per square foot for a straightforward residential install, and resurfacing an existing drive starts around $4 per square foot if the base is sound. Pothole repair or a localized patch starts at $450, and a full driveway replacement runs from $7 per square foot depending on size, access, and base condition. The real cost drivers are the square footage, whether the base needs work or replacement, and the thickness of asphalt the job requires. Larger lots and commercial parking areas are quoted on site because the variables are too many to estimate by phone. We offer a free written estimate at (956) 578-6392, and we will walk you through the numbers and explain what you are paying for. No surprises, no pressure.
