| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Asphalt Driveway Paving & Installation | From $6/sq ft | San Antonio driveways face two grounds: shrink-swell clay east of the escarpment, thin caliche west of it. We grade and compact a base suited to your soil, then lay hot mix asphalt in a binder and surface course pitched to shed flash-flood rain. |
| Driveway Repair | From $450 | A cracked driveway in San Antonio is usually the clay moving underneath, not a frost problem. We open the cracks, rebuild the base where clay has washed out, and patch with hot mix so the drive holds through the next storm. |
| Pothole Repair & Asphalt Patching | From $450 | San Antonio potholes often start where flash-flood water pooled on a low spot. We cut out the failed section, compact new aggregate base, and fill with hot mix flush to the surrounding grade. |
| Asphalt Resurfacing & Overlay | From $4/sq ft | A San Antonio driveway with a sound base but a tired surface is a good candidate for resurfacing. We mill the worn top layer, tack the old surface, and lay a new binder and surface course pitched to shed summer storms. |
| Asphalt Milling & Removal | From $1,500 | Full removal comes into play when a San Antonio driveway's clay-heaved base cannot be resurfaced. We mill down to the aggregate base, haul off the old material, and leave a clean grade ready for new hot mix. |
| Driveway Replacement | From $7/sq ft | Once San Antonio clay has cracked a driveway past patching, full replacement starts from the base up. We remove the old surface, rebuild the aggregate base for your soil, and pour new hot mix pitched to shed flash-flood rain. |
| Parking Lot Paving & Construction | Free commercial estimate | Commercial lots in San Antonio take a summer of loaded traffic before the base ever gets a break. We grade and compact a base sized for your traffic, then lay hot mix in binder and surface courses pitched to shed sudden storms. |
| Parking Lot Repair & Resurfacing | From $650 | Summer traffic ruts a San Antonio parking lot long before the clay underneath ever moves. We cut out the failed section, rebuild the base, and resurface flush so the lot holds through the next flash flood. |
| Recycled Asphalt & Millings Driveways | From $3/sq ft | Recycled millings give a Hill Country property a firm surface without a full hot mix budget. We grade and compact recycled asphalt millings over a base built for caliche or clay, then finish with a tight roll. |
| Tar & Chip Driveways | From $5/sq ft | Tar and chip gives a Hill Country driveway texture and grip over uneven limestone ground. We spray a tack coat, embed aggregate, and roll it flat so the surface sheds San Antonio's sudden downpours. |
| Gravel Driveway Installation & Grading | From $950 | Gravel and caliche lanes are common on San Antonio's Hill Country fringe where rock sits close to the surface. We grade the base, set proper pitch, and lay compacted gravel so water sheds instead of pooling on rock. |
| Private Road & HOA Paving | From $15,000 | HOA roads across San Antonio's newer subdivisions sit on former ranch land with mixed clay and caliche ground. We build a base matched to the subdivision's soil, then lay hot mix designed to hold through San Antonio's storm season. |
| Driveway Extensions, Widening & Aprons | From $1,800 | A driveway apron at the street line takes the hardest hit from San Antonio's flash-flood runoff. We widen or extend the slab, tie new hot mix into the old, and pitch the apron so water clears the curb fast. |
| Sports Court & Path Paving | From $8,500 | San Antonio courts need a stiffer base where clay swells east of the escarpment, thin rock west of it. We grade and compact a deep base, then finish with hot mix or a coated surface for true, consistent bounce. |
What Affects the Price
- Project Size and Square Footage : Larger projects typically have lower per-square-foot costs due to economies of scale. A 500 sq ft driveway will have different pricing than a 2,000 sq ft parking lot.
- Existing Surface Condition : Heavily damaged asphalt requiring removal, milling, or extensive prep work costs more than resurfacing a relatively intact surface. We assess damage during your free estimate.
- Material Selection : Premium asphalt, recycled millings, tar and chip, or gravel options each have different costs. Your choice of material directly impacts the final price.
- Site Accessibility and Terrain : Difficult terrain, limited equipment access, or complex grading requirements may increase labor and equipment costs compared to straightforward residential driveways.

Pricing FAQ
Why do asphalt paving prices vary so much between contractors?
Quality asphalt paving depends on proper site preparation, material grade, compaction, and workmanship. Reputable contractors invest in equipment maintenance, experienced crews, and quality materials, which reflects in their pricing. Extremely low bids often indicate shortcuts that lead to premature failure and costly repairs.

Are there any hidden costs I should know about?
Our estimates are transparent and include all labor, materials, equipment, and site cleanup. We'll discuss any additional costs upfront, such as drainage improvements or debris removal, before work begins. There are no surprise charges.
What's included in driveway repair pricing versus full replacement?
Repairs address specific problem areas like potholes or cracks at a lower cost. Full replacement removes and repaves the entire surface, providing a fresh start with a longer lifespan. We'll recommend the best option based on your driveway's condition.
