Converse has boomed over the past two decades on former ranch land east of San Antonio, and that growth has brought a specific problem: the Blackland Prairie clay that sits under most of the newer subdivisions swells after a hard rain and shrinks back down during our dry spells, and that movement cracks driveways straight through. We serve Converse and the surrounding San Antonio area with asphalt paving, repair, and resurfacing work that accounts for the soil conditions and the heat that define this part of Bexar County.
Homeowners and property managers in Converse (78148) call us because we understand what happens to a driveway when it sits on clay that moves, and we know how to build a base that holds. We have been in business since 2012, and we serve the east side of San Antonio and the communities around it with honest estimates and straightforward work.
Asphalt Paving in Converse (78148)
Converse sits on Blackland Prairie clay, and that is the single biggest factor in how a driveway behaves. After a spring storm or a heavy rain, the clay takes on water and swells. Then through the dry months of summer and fall, it shrinks back down, and the ground opens up beneath the asphalt. If the driveway was not built on a proper compacted aggregate base, the surface cracks, settles, and breaks apart. The problem is not freeze damage (we do not have a frost depth here), and it is not rutting from traffic in the heat (though that happens too). The problem is the ground moving underneath.
Most of the residential driveways in Converse are single-car or double-wide pours on relatively tight lots, and many sit in subdivisions where an HOA has rules about materials, width, and how far the drive can extend. The lots themselves are usually flat or gentle, but drainage matters: if a driveway does not pitch enough to shed water away from the house and the garage, water pools and finds its way into the foundation or the crawlspace after a thunderstorm.
We have been serving Converse and the San Antonio area since 2012. Our team knows how to build a driveway on Blackland clay, and we know the permitting and HOA approval process in this community.

How a Job Works in Converse
We start with a free on-site assessment. You call us at (210) 485-4679, and we come out to your property, measure the driveway or lot, look at the ground and the drainage, and talk through what the problem is and what will fix it. We give you a written estimate with the square footage, the tonnage of material, the scope of work, and the price. No surprises.
If you decide to move forward, we schedule the work. Before we dig or mill anything, we call Texas 811 to locate utilities, because the law requires it. If your driveway needs a curb cut or an apron permit (the part where the drive meets the street), we help you navigate the local permitting process with the City of Converse. If you are in an HOA, we coordinate with your architectural review or property management to make sure the work meets the community standards. Then our crew shows up with a paver and a roller, and we build the drive right.
When the work is done, we clean up. You get a finished driveway that sheds water, sits on a proper base, and is built to last. We leave your property clean and ready to use.
Pricing for asphalt paving in Converse depends on a few things: the square footage of the driveway or lot, the condition of the ground underneath, whether you need a full base replacement or just a new surface, and how thick we need to build it. A new residential driveway typically runs from $6 per square foot on up, depending on the base work and the site conditions. Resurfacing an existing driveway (where the base is still good) starts around $4 per square foot. Repair work like pothole patching or spot fixes starts at $450. For a parking lot, we give a free commercial estimate. The best way to know what your job will cost is to have us come out and measure. Call us at (210) 485-4679 for a free estimate, and we will give you a written quote with all the details.
