Paving on the Highway North of Harlingen
Asphalt paving in Combes often involves highway frontage. US 77/I-69E passes through town, about 4 miles north of Harlingen and 18 miles south of Raymondville, and State Highway 107 has its eastern terminus here. Combes had 2,999 residents and 1,091 housing units in 2020, on about 3.24 square miles at 39 feet above sea level.
Highway driveways
If your property has a driveway onto I-69E's frontage or SH 107, any new or changed connection to the highway goes through TxDOT's driveway permit process, Form 1058, applied for by the owner or an authorized representative. We flag this at the estimate so the timeline accounts for it.
Older homes and caliche
Many Combes properties have caliche or older asphalt drives. We rework firm caliche into the base, replace soft areas, and pave. On older asphalt with widespread cracking, replacement over a rebuilt base is usually the long-term answer.
Clay and drainage
Combes shares Harlingen's flat, clay-heavy ground. We grade every driveway to drain and extend compacted base past the asphalt edge so it does not crumble.
City streets
Approaches on city streets are handled by the City of Combes.
Commuter driveways
Many Combes residents drive into Harlingen or up to Raymondville every day. A driveway that pulls straight onto a busy road needs a smooth, firm apron where cars brake and turn. That is where we put extra base and the thickest asphalt on the drive.
Timing
We schedule highway-adjacent work so equipment and trucks are off the shoulder during rush hours, and we keep the drive usable as long as possible during the job.
