Asphalt Paving in Progreso, TX

Asphalt paving in Progreso works on some of the lowest, flattest ground in our area. The city sits at about 69 feet of elevation, south of Weslaco along FM 1015 and US 281, and it borders the Mexican town of Nuevo Progreso. Progreso was a census-designated place in 1980 and had become a city by 2000; it had 4,807 residents in 2020.

Drainage first

Near the river, water is slow to leave. Pavement that is not sloped holds puddles, and puddles soften the base. We set grades on every job and point out where water will collect.

Businesses serving border traffic

Lots that serve visitors heading to and from Nuevo Progreso see heavy turnover. Patching, sealing and fresh striping keep them safe and usable. We schedule around peak hours.

Homes and rural lots

Older driveways and caliche drives are common. We replace failed asphalt over a rebuilt base and convert caliche where the owner wants a paved surface.

Older pavement and repeated patching

Many Progreso driveways and lots have been patched for years. Patches on wet, low ground often fail because the base under them never dries out. When we repair here, we dig out the wet material, put back compacted base and slope the surface so water leaves. If most of the surface has been patched, we will show you why replacement may cost less over the next ten years.

Heat on dark pavement

Progreso shares the Valley's long, hot summers. Black asphalt in full sun gets far hotter than the air, which is why fresh pavement needs a few days before heavy parking and why sealcoat should be renewed when the surface fades.

Commercial access and accessible parking

When a business lot is restriped, the 2010 ADA Standards apply to the accessible spaces. We count the total spaces, lay out the required accessible and van spaces, and paint the aisles and symbols as part of the same visit.
