Asphalt Paving in Alton, TX

Asphalt paving in Alton serves one of the fastest-growing small cities in the county. Alton had 12,341 residents in 2010 and 18,198 in 2020, a 47.5 percent jump. It was founded around 1910 by citizens and railroad officials from Alton, Illinois, and incorporated in 1978. Today it is mostly homes: 62.6 percent of occupied units are owner-occupied, and only 6.0 percent of its 5,327 housing units were vacant in 2020.

New homes

Homeowners in newer Alton subdivisions often want to widen a driveway, add a side pad or replace a thin builder driveway. We size the base and asphalt to what you park there.

Maintenance

Owner-occupied homes get the most out of upkeep. Filling cracks before the rains and sealcoating every few years keeps a driveway on the long end of its 15 to 30 year life.

Elevation and drainage

At about 161 feet, Alton sits on slightly higher ground than cities closer to the river, but slope still has to be built in. We grade each driveway to the street.

Builder driveways after ten years

A lot of Alton's housing went up during the growth of the 2000s and 2010s. Driveways from that period are now at the age when the first real problems show: hairline cracks widening, a low spot where the car sits, the edge by the lawn starting to crumble. Catching those now costs far less than a replacement later. We fill the cracks, rebuild any soft section, and then seal the whole surface so the repairs and the original pavement wear together.

Homes near Mission schools and parks

Alton shares a school district with Mission, and plenty of families park two or three vehicles at home. When a driveway has to hold more cars than it was built for, we can widen it on your side of the property line with the same base depth as the original, and the new joint is cut and sealed so it does not open up.
