San Juan's older grid of homes near the rail line sits on the same loamy delta ground that built the McAllen area, and every driveway here needs the same careful foundation work to stay flat and drain right. We've been paving driveways, parking lots, and private roads across McAllen and San Juan (78589) since 2010, and we know exactly what this soil demands.
Homeowners in San Juan call us because we understand the neighborhood. The alluvial subgrade under your property moves with wet and dry spells, water pools on any drive without proper pitch, and a driveway that was never built on a compacted base will crack, settle, or heave within a few years. We build it right the first time, and we explain what we're doing and why.
Asphalt Paving in San Juan (78589)
San Juan's residential lots are wide and flat, which means water has nowhere to go without a driveway pitched at roughly a quarter inch per foot. The loamy delta soil underneath holds moisture and shifts through the seasons, so the base matters more than the asphalt itself. A driveway laid directly on uncompacted ground will fail, no matter how thick the asphalt is. That's the lesson we've learned from fourteen years of paving in this area.
We handle driveway paving and replacement, pothole and patch repair, resurfacing and overlay, milling and removal, parking lot construction and repair, private roads, HOA projects, recycled asphalt and tar and chip alternatives, and gravel driveway installation with proper grading. Our crews are fully insured for general liability and workers' compensation. We measure every job on site, prepare a written estimate with tonnage and thickness specs, and we show up when we say we will.

How a Job Works in San Juan
You call us at (956) 578-6392 or reach out online, and we schedule a free on-site assessment. We walk your driveway or lot with you, look at the grade, check the drainage, and talk through what needs to happen. If it's a repair, we tell you whether patching makes sense or whether resurfacing or replacement is the smarter move. If it's new paving, we measure, note the soil and access, and give you a written estimate before any work begins.
When we start, we prepare the base. That means removing old asphalt if needed, grading and compacting the subgrade, laying a proper aggregate base, and building in the pitch so water sheds away from your garage or building. Then we lay hot mix asphalt in a binder course and a surface course, compact it while it's hot, and let it cure. For tight lots or narrow driveways in older San Juan neighborhoods, we bring equipment sized to the space and we coordinate with you on access.
When we're done, we haul away all debris, sweep the edges, and walk through with you. Your new driveway is ready to use right away, though we recommend you wait six to twelve months before any sealing while the asphalt finishes curing.
A new asphalt driveway in San Juan typically runs from $6 per square foot and up, depending on the size, the base condition, and access. Resurfacing an existing drive costs less, starting around $4 per square foot. Pothole and patch repairs begin at $450. A full driveway replacement, including base prep and milling, starts at $7 per square foot. Parking lot work is quoted on site. The real cost drivers are square footage, how much base work the soil requires, whether we're removing old asphalt, and how accessible your property is for the paver and roller. We'll give you a firm written estimate before we start. Call us at (956) 578-6392 for a free measure and quote.
