Asphalt Paving in Edcouch, TX

Asphalt paving in Edcouch is small-scale and practical. The city covers about 1.03 square miles at the intersection of State Highway 107 and FM 1015, and it was founded in 1927 and named for Edward Couch, a landowner and banker. With 956 housing units in 2020, most work here is replacing older driveways, paving caliche drives and repairing potholes in small business lots.

Older driveways

Many Edcouch homes date back decades, and so do their driveways. When cracks run across the whole surface and edges have crumbled, we replace the driveway over a rebuilt base rather than patching what is left.

Low ground

At about 59 feet of elevation, Edcouch is lower and flatter than Edinburg. Rain does not drain away on its own. New pavement is graded to move water to the street, and we flag low spots before work starts.

Small business lots

Shops and offices near the crossroads benefit from patching, sealcoating and fresh striping. We can work early so you can open on time.

Choosing between patch, overlay and replacement

On a small Edcouch lot the numbers are modest, so it pays to pick the right fix the first time. Scattered potholes on a firm driveway are a patching job, priced by the hole or the square foot. A driveway that is faded and lightly cracked all over but still solid can take an overlay. A driveway with soft spots, sunken edges and cracks in every direction needs a new base, and anything less tends to fail again within a couple of seasons. We walk the driveway with you, press on the soft areas, and explain which group yours falls into before giving a price.

Working around the school calendar and farm traffic

SH 107 and FM 1015 carry school buses, farm trucks and commuters heading toward Edinburg and Elsa. For driveways that open onto these roads, we plan deliveries and equipment so the road stays clear and the work zone is marked, and we schedule the noisiest part of the job outside the morning and afternoon rush.

Permits

Driveways onto SH 107 are a TxDOT matter; apron work on city streets goes through the City of Edcouch. We check before scheduling. Call (956) 303-6419 or get a free estimate.
