| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Asphalt Driveway Paving & Installation | From $6/sq ft | McAllen driveways sit on Rio Grande delta ground that shifts through wet and dry spells. We build the aggregate base with compaction and pitch each drive at a quarter inch per foot so water clears toward the street instead of pooling on the flat lot. |
| Driveway Repair | From $450 | A McAllen driveway that cracks or settles is usually the delta clay moving underneath, not a frost problem. We open the cracks, rebuild the base where clay has washed out, and patch with hot mix so the repair holds through the next tropical storm season. |
| Pothole Repair & Asphalt Patching | From $450 | McAllen potholes usually start where standing water sits on flat delta lots with no natural fall. We cut out the failed asphalt, rebuild the aggregate base, and patch with hot mix so the repair holds through the summer compaction window. |
| Asphalt Resurfacing & Overlay | From $4/sq ft | A McAllen driveway with a sound base but a worn surface is often a good candidate for resurfacing. We mill the worn top layer, tack the surface, and lay new hot mix pitched at a quarter inch per foot so water clears the flat delta lot. |
| Asphalt Milling & Removal | From $1,500 | McAllen's older driveways from the post-war ranch era often need the top layer milled off before repaving. We grind out the failing surface, haul off the millings, and leave a clean compacted base ready for new hot mix. |
| Driveway Replacement | From $7/sq ft | A McAllen driveway past patching gets torn out down to the alluvial delta base. We rebuild the aggregate base, compact it in lifts, and pour new hot mix pitched at a quarter inch per foot so the flat lot finally drains. |
| Parking Lot Paving & Construction | Free commercial estimate | McAllen's fast-growing subdivisions and commercial lots need a base built for shifting delta clay. We grade for drainage across flat ground, compact the aggregate base, and pave in binder and surface courses sized for delivery trucks and heavy summer rain. |
| Parking Lot Repair & Resurfacing | From $650 | McAllen parking lots crack and pothole where delta clay shifts under an unprepared base. We cut out failed sections, rebuild the base, and patch flush with hot mix so the lot holds through the next tropical storm season. |
| Recycled Asphalt & Millings Driveways | From $3/sq ft | Recycled millings make a budget surface for long McAllen driveways on flat delta ground. We grade and compact the base, then lay and roll recycled asphalt millings so the surface sheds water on flat, low-fall lots. |
| Tar & Chip Driveways | From $5/sq ft | Tar and chip gives McAllen homeowners a textured surface over the same compacted delta base. We compact the aggregate base, apply hot liquid asphalt, and press in stone chips for a surface that handles heat and the occasional tropical storm. |
| Gravel Driveway Installation & Grading | From $950 | Gravel driveways still need real grading on McAllen's flat delta lots to keep water moving. We grade the base, cut in drainage, and add compacted gravel so the surface holds up through wet spells and hot Rio Grande Valley summers. |
| Private Road & HOA Paving | From $15,000 | Private roads in McAllen's newer subdivisions need a base built for delta clay and flat ground. We grade for pitch across the flat lot, compact the base in lifts, and pave in binder and surface courses sized for HOA traffic and Gulf storms. |
| Driveway Extensions, Widening & Aprons | From $1,800 | A driveway apron in McAllen takes the hardest hit from flat lots with no natural fall to move water. We widen or extend the slab, tie new hot mix into the old edge, and pitch it so runoff clears the street instead of pooling on McAllen's flat ground. |
| Sports Court & Path Paving | From $8,500 | A backyard court in McAllen needs a base built for delta clay that shifts through wet and dry spells. We grade and compact a stable base, then finish with hot mix so the court plays flat through McAllen's hot, humid summers. |
What Affects the Price
- Project Size and Square Footage : Larger areas typically cost less per square foot due to equipment efficiency and material economies of scale. A small driveway repair differs significantly from a full resurfacing project.
- Existing Condition and Preparation : Heavily damaged asphalt, old debris removal, or extensive grading requirements add time and labor. We assess the current state to provide accurate estimates for your specific situation.
- Material Selection : Premium asphalt, recycled millings, tar and chip, and gravel options each have different price points. Your choice of material directly impacts the final cost and longevity of your surface.
- Site Accessibility and Complexity : Tight spaces, steep grades, drainage requirements, or difficult terrain may require specialized equipment or additional labor, affecting your overall project cost.
