Asphalt Paving in Mission, TX

Asphalt paving in Mission serves a city that has advertised itself as the Home of the Ruby Red grapefruit since 1921. Mission sits on I-2/US 83 about five miles west of downtown McAllen, and it grew from 77,058 residents in 2010 to 85,778 in 2020. Many homes here sit on lots that were once orchards, with long driveways and mature trees. Others are in newer subdivisions where the original driveway is just starting to show wear.

Long drives and trees

Larger lots mean longer driveways, and longer driveways mean more edge to protect. Asphalt edges that are not supported crumble into the grass, especially where irrigation keeps the soil wet. Tree roots are the other issue: roots from big shade and citrus trees lift and crack pavement. We look at where roots run and adjust base depth or the paved edge accordingly.

Seasonal homes

Mission has a large stock of housing that is not occupied year-round; the 2020 census found 16.9 percent of its 32,707 housing units vacant, which includes seasonal homes. If you are only here part of the year, we can schedule work while you are away and send photos, and sealing before you leave keeps the driveway from baking unprotected all summer.

Commercial work

Retail and service lots along the expressway and the main roads need patching, overlays and striping. We phase lot work so customers still have access.

Weather

Mission shares the Valley's hot summers and heavy late-summer rain. We grade every new driveway to drain and schedule sealing in dry weather.

Permits

Changes to a driveway apron or curb cut on a Mission street are handled by the City of Mission, and access onto I-2 frontage roads is a TxDOT matter. We check before scheduling. Call (956) 303-6419 or get a free estimate.
