Asphalt Paving in Palm Valley, TX

Asphalt paving in Palm Valley is mostly about caring for driveways that are already there. Palm Valley is a small city, incorporated on September 11, 1980, that covers only about 0.61 square miles next to Harlingen and is served by Harlingen CISD. It had 1,413 residents and 805 households in 2020. Nearly every lot is built, so the work is resurfacing, repair and maintenance.

Resurfacing

When a driveway is faded and lightly cracked but still firm, an overlay with milled edges at the garage and street gives it a new surface without rebuilding. We check the base first, because an overlay on a failed base cracks again quickly.

Crack sealing and sealcoat

In a neighborhood where driveways are seen every day, sealcoat keeps them looking dark and even, and crack sealing keeps water out of the base. HomeGuide suggests resealing every 2 to 10 years; strong Valley sun moves that toward the short end.

Replacement

Where driveways have sunk, rutted or broken at the edges, we replace them over a rebuilt base, graded to drain. Palm Valley sits at about 43 feet above sea level on flat ground, so slope has to be designed in.

Permits

Approach work on city streets is handled by the City of Palm Valley. We confirm before scheduling.

Overlay or replace?

On many Palm Valley driveways, the choice is between an overlay and a full replacement. HomeGuide puts resurfacing at about $3 to $7 per square foot and notes overlays on sound pavement typically save 20 to 30 percent over replacement. That saving only holds if the base underneath is still good, which is why we probe before we quote.
