Asphalt Paving in Lyford, TX

Asphalt paving in Lyford covers a mix of in-town homes and rural lots. Lyford grew from about 1.1 to 1.8 square miles before the 2010 census by annexing the Bausell and Ellis area and part of Lyford South. It had 2,249 residents and 762 housing units in 2020, and owner-occupied homes rarely sit empty: the homeowner vacancy rate was just 1.3 percent.

Owners who maintain

Long-term owners get the most out of maintenance. Crack sealing before the rainy months, sealcoat every few years and quick pothole repairs keep a driveway going for decades.

Annexed areas

Properties in the formerly rural annexed areas often have caliche or gravel drives. Converting to asphalt cuts mud and dust. We keep firm caliche as base and replace soft areas.

Low, flat ground

Lyford sits at about 33 feet above sea level. Like the rest of Willacy County, it is flat, so driveways need slope designed in.

Permits and travel

Approaches on city streets go through the City of Lyford. We schedule Lyford work alongside other Willacy County jobs.

What paving costs

HomeGuide lists asphalt driveways at roughly $5 to $12 or more per square foot, and notes that some contractors set a $2,000 minimum on small jobs. Reusing firm caliche as base can lower the total. We price every part separately so you can decide what to do now and what to leave.

Shrinking clay

Willacy County soils include the Raymondville series, a clay loam over clay that cracks open when it dries. Driveways on this ground need a base thick enough to bridge the movement, and cracks in the asphalt should be sealed before the wet season.
