Schertz has grown fast across Guadalupe County's Blackland clay, and those newer subdivisions need driveways that shed water the right way. When a flash-flood storm rolls through 78154, a driveway pitched wrong will pool at the apron and work water under your foundation, and the clay itself swells and shrinks through wet and dry spells, cracking asphalt that was never built on a proper base.
That's why homeowners and property managers in Schertz call San Antonio Asphalt Paving. We've been serving the San Antonio area and surrounding communities since 2012, and we know the ground here. We understand what it takes to build a driveway on Blackland Prairie clay that will hold through the heat and the storms, and we price the work honestly so you know what you're paying for.
Asphalt Paving in Schertz (78154)
Schertz sits on clay soil that moves. After a heavy rain, Blackland Prairie clay takes on water and swells; then it shrinks back down during a dry spell, and the ground opens cracks straight through a driveway's base. A lot of the driveways we repair in Schertz have failed because they were poured over inadequate base preparation, or because the pitch doesn't shed water fast enough when the summer storms hit. We see rutting from heat and loaded traffic, edge failures where water has gotten under the asphalt, and alligator cracking that signals the subgrade has moved or failed.
The fix starts with honest diagnosis. If a driveway is still sound underneath and the damage is surface-level, we can resurface it. If the base is gone or the clay has heaved too much, we build it right: proper aggregate base, correct compaction, the right thickness, and pitch that sheds water away from your garage and foundation. We've been doing this work in San Antonio and the surrounding area since 2012, and we know how to build on clay.

How a Job Works in Schertz
We start with a free on-site assessment. We measure your driveway or lot, look at the existing surface and base, check the drainage and pitch, and talk through what's failed and why. We'll tell you whether a patch, a resurface, or a full replacement makes sense for your budget and timeline. We provide a written estimate with tonnage and thickness specs so you know exactly what you're getting.
When we're ready to go, our team handles the work start to finish. If it's a replacement or a major repair, we may need to grade and prepare the base, and we coordinate with you on any local permits or HOA approvals that Schertz requires. We work efficiently and stay on schedule. For driveway extensions, aprons, or work that touches the right-of-way, we help you navigate local permitting with the City of Schertz.
When we're done, we clean up. Your property gets a final walkthrough with you, and we leave the site clean and ready to use.
A new asphalt driveway in Schertz typically runs from $6 per square foot and up, depending on the size, the base condition, and how deep we need to go. A resurfacing or overlay, if the base is still good, starts around $4 per square foot. Pothole repair and patching start at $450. A full driveway replacement can run from $7 per square foot. Driveway extensions, aprons, and widening work start at $1,800. The real cost depends on square footage, site access, how much base work is needed, and the thickness we build to. We measure on site and provide a written estimate with tonnage and thickness so there are no surprises. Call us at (210) 485-4679 for a free estimate. We'll walk your property, answer your questions, and give you a price that's fair and honest.
