San Carlos II sits on rolling brush country just north of Laredo, where the same caliche and sandy loam that underlie the older subdivisions meet sudden flash-flood runoff after hard storms, and where driveways without proper pitch and edge support don't last a season.
We have been paving driveways, parking lots, and private roads across Laredo and the surrounding areas since 2014, and we know exactly what San Carlos II's terrain demands. The lots here are larger than downtown, the homes are newer, and the ground shifts with wet and dry spells. When water runs toward a garage or a foundation after a storm, or when the summer heat has rutted the surface under a truck, homeowners in 78043 call us for honest repair or resurfacing work, not a sales pitch.
Asphalt Paving in San Carlos II (78043)
San Carlos II's driveways and parking areas face a specific set of challenges. The subgrade here is classic South Texas: caliche, sandy loam, and pockets of clay that swell when wet and shrink when dry. Many properties started as gravel or caliche pads and were never built with a real compacted aggregate base. That means the first paving job is often a first-time conversion, not a repair. Without proper base preparation and edge support, a driveway will crack and heave within a season or two. The summer heat is relentless, and it softens asphalt and invites rutting under heavy trucks. Flash floods after storms can undercut a poorly pitched apron or driveway apron in a single downpour, and they test the drainage on every lot.
We have been serving San Carlos II and the greater Laredo area since 2014. Our team understands the ground, the climate, and what it takes to build a driveway or parking lot that will hold. We size the base, pitch the surface to shed water, and use hot mix asphalt laid to specification. We measure twice, estimate honestly, and do the work right.

How a Job Works in San Carlos II
We start with a free on-site assessment. We measure your driveway or lot, look at the existing surface and the ground underneath, check the pitch and drainage, and ask about any water or settling problems you have noticed. We talk through your options, explain what will work and what will not, and give you a written estimate with tonnage and thickness specs so you know exactly what you are paying for.
When you are ready, we schedule the work. We mark out the area, set up for safe access and traffic control, and bring in the equipment we need. If the existing surface has to come up, we mill or break it out. We prep and compact the base, set the grade and pitch, and lay the hot mix asphalt to the thickness specified in your estimate. If you need a curb cut, an apron, or a driveway extension, we coordinate with the city on any permits required and work within those limits. We proof-roll the finished surface, check the pitch with a level, and clean up all debris and dust.
When we are done, we walk through the job with you, answer any questions, and leave your property clean. We are fully insured for general liability and workers' compensation.
Pricing for asphalt paving in San Carlos II depends on square footage, the condition of the existing base, how much prep work the ground needs, and the thickness of asphalt we lay. A new driveway typically runs from $6 per square foot, resurfacing or overlay from $4 per square foot, and recycled asphalt or tar and chip from $3 to $5 per square foot. Repair work for potholes or patching starts at $450, and a full driveway replacement from $7 per square foot. Parking lot work starts with a free commercial estimate. The key factors are the square footage of the area, the depth and extent of any base repair, and the pitch and drainage required by your lot and the weather. We give you a written estimate with tonnage and thickness before we start. Call us at (956) 857-9145 for a free on-site estimate.
