Cibolo's rapid growth has brought new subdivisions and master-planned communities across Guadalupe County, but the ground beneath those new driveways tells a harder story. The Blackland Prairie clay that sits under most of Cibolo expands when it absorbs water after a storm and shrinks again during San Antonio's long dry spells, and that movement cracks asphalt driveways that were not built on a properly compacted base from the start.
Homeowners in Cibolo (78108) call San Antonio Asphalt Paving because we know this soil, we've been serving the San Antonio area and its surrounding communities since 2012, and we build driveways and repair them the way Cibolo's clay demands. A driveway poured over loose fill or inadequate base preparation will fail unevenly, no matter how good the asphalt is. We start from the ground up.
Asphalt Paving in Cibolo (78108)
Cibolo sits squarely on Guadalupe County's expansive clay, the same Blackland Prairie subgrade that underlies much of the San Antonio area. When we build a new driveway or repair an existing one in Cibolo, we account for that clay's behavior. A driveway that cracks unevenly, settles on one side, or heaves in patches almost always points to a base that was not compacted properly or thickly enough to handle the clay's seasonal movement. We prepare and compact the subgrade and aggregate base to the thickness the soil and the expected traffic demand, and we pitch the surface to shed water fast, because standing water on clay is where problems begin.
Cibolo's newer subdivisions often have long single driveways serving multiple homes, and many properties sit on tight lots with limited access for equipment. We plan for that, and we've been doing it in Cibolo and throughout the San Antonio area for over a decade.

How a Job Works in Cibolo
We start with a free on-site visit to your property in Cibolo. We measure the area, look at the existing pavement or subgrade, check the drainage and slope, and talk through what the job needs. We give you a written estimate with tonnage specifications so you know exactly what you're paying for, and we answer questions about timing, access, and any local permits your property may need.
When we start work, we bring the right equipment for the job. If it's a new driveway, we excavate and prepare the subgrade, lay and compact the base course to the proper thickness, and then lay hot mix asphalt and finish it smooth. If it's a repair or resurfacing, we remove failed pavement, address any base problems underneath, and lay new asphalt. If your property is in an HOA, we coordinate with your architectural review or property management before we start. Cibolo's municipal rules on driveway aprons, curb cuts and stormwater runoff vary depending on where your property sits, and we help you navigate local permitting with the City of Cibolo.
When we're done, we clean up thoroughly. You get a finished driveway and a property that's ready to use.
A new asphalt driveway in Cibolo typically runs from $6 per square foot for a straightforward installation on prepared ground, though the final price depends on the size of the area, the condition of the subgrade, how much base preparation is needed, and the thickness we specify for your soil and traffic. A resurfacing or overlay over an existing driveway that's structurally sound runs from $4 per square foot. Repairs like pothole patching start at $450 for a single pothole or localized damage, but if your driveway shows extensive alligator cracking or has failed over more than thirty or forty percent of its surface, resurfacing or replacement is more cost-effective than repeated patching. Call us at (210) 485-4679 for a free estimate. We'll measure your property, explain what it needs, and give you a real number based on what we find on site.
