| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Asphalt Driveway Paving & Installation | From $6/sq ft | Many Laredo driveways start as bare caliche and have never had a real base. We build a compacted aggregate base and lay hot mix asphalt pitched at a quarter inch per foot so summer flash floods run off instead of pooling. |
| Driveway Repair | From $450 | Laredo heat softens asphalt fast, and heavy trucks can leave ruts within a season. We cut out the damaged asphalt, rebuild the base where caliche has shifted, and patch it flush to match your grade. |
| Pothole Repair & Asphalt Patching | From $450 | Laredo potholes usually start where caliche subgrade never had a proper base. We cut back to sound material, compact fresh aggregate, and seal the patch with hot mix rated for local flash-flood runoff. |
| Asphalt Resurfacing & Overlay | From $4/sq ft | A Laredo driveway with a sound caliche base but a worn top is a fair resurfacing candidate. We mill the tired surface, tack it, and lay a new binder and surface course pitched to shed summer downpours fast. |
| Asphalt Milling & Removal | From $1,500 | Old caliche and asphalt pads across Laredo often need full removal before a new mat goes down. We mill or excavate to grade, haul off the debris, and leave a clean base ready for new hot mix. |
| Driveway Replacement | From $7/sq ft | A Laredo driveway broken up for years past patching is usually a job for full replacement. We remove the old surface, rebuild the aggregate base for the shifting clay pockets underneath, and pour new hot mix pitched to clear runoff. |
| Parking Lot Paving & Construction | Free commercial estimate | Laredo's freight yards near I-35 put heavier loads on pavement than most residential streets ever see. We design and build lots with a compacted base, hot mix surface course, and drainage pitch that handles sudden South Texas storms. |
| Parking Lot Repair & Resurfacing | From $650 | Laredo parking lots crack and rut fastest where loaded trucks cross a thin or caliche base. We cut out the failed section, rebuild the base, and resurface it flush so it stands up to constant freight traffic. |
| Recycled Asphalt & Millings Driveways | From $3/sq ft | Recycled millings make a solid low-cost surface for the long gravel drives common out past Laredo's edge. We grade and compact recycled asphalt over your existing caliche base for a firm, dust-controlled surface that holds up between storms. |
| Tar & Chip Driveways | From $5/sq ft | Tar and chip gives Laredo homeowners a textured, lower-cost alternative to a full hot mix driveway. We spray asphalt emulsion, embed stone chips, and roll the surface to hold up through Laredo's long, hot summers. |
| Gravel Driveway Installation & Grading | From $950 | Many properties out past Laredo's edge still run on bare caliche or gravel that was never graded right. We shape and compact the base, add fresh gravel, and pitch it so runoff clears fast in a sudden storm. |
| Private Road & HOA Paving | From $15,000 | Fast-growing subdivisions north and east of Laredo often need private roads built to handle daily traffic. We build a full aggregate base for the caliche and clay pockets underneath, then pave hot mix pitched to shed sudden runoff across the whole road. |
| Driveway Extensions, Widening & Aprons | From $1,800 | A driveway apron at the street in Laredo takes the hardest hit when a flash flood rushes off the yard. We widen the slab, tie new hot mix into the existing edge, and pitch the apron so runoff clears the street fast. |
| Sports Court & Path Paving | From $8,500 | Laredo's brush-country ground and long hot summers call for a firm base under any home sports court. We grade and compact the base, then finish with hot mix so the court plays flat through storms and triple-digit heat. |
What Affects the Price
- Project Size and Square Footage : Larger projects typically have lower per-square-foot costs due to equipment efficiency and material economies of scale. Small repairs cost more per unit area than extensive installations.
- Surface Condition and Preparation : Existing damage, drainage issues, base repairs, and soil conditions affect labor and material requirements. Poor foundations may require milling, grading, or additional base work before paving.
- Project Type and Materials : New asphalt paving, recycled millings, tar and chip, and gravel driveways each have different cost structures. Resurfacing costs less than full replacement, while specialty services command different rates.
- Site Access and Complexity : Tight spaces, steep grades, obstacles, and distance from the road affect equipment placement and labor time. Easier access reduces costs, while challenging sites require additional planning and equipment.

Why is asphalt resurfacing cheaper than full replacement?
Resurfacing applies a new layer over an existing base, saving material and labor costs. Full replacement removes old asphalt and rebuilds from the base up. Resurfacing is ideal for structurally sound driveways with surface wear, while replacement is necessary for severely damaged foundations.
