Asphalt Paving in Sullivan City, TX

Asphalt paving in Sullivan City serves a small community at the western end of our area. The town formally opened in 1908 and incorporated in 1911, and it is named for Captain Ed Sullivan, a World War veteran who owned a ranch here. It covers about 3.59 square miles and had 3,908 residents in 2020.

Ranch-style lots

Larger lots mean longer drives and often caliche or gravel. Paving a long drive is mostly about base and edges: the base carries the load, and supported edges keep the asphalt from crumbling along its length. We can also pave just the busiest stretch near the house and leave the rest as compacted caliche if that fits the budget.

Higher ground

At about 200 feet of elevation, Sullivan City is among the higher spots in Hidalgo County. Drainage is generally better here than near the river, but we still build slope into every job.

Older driveways

Where asphalt is old and broken, we remove it, rebuild the base and pave fresh. Where it is sound but faded, sealcoating is enough.

Heat and long drives

Long, exposed drives in western Hidalgo County sit in full sun all day. Sealing every few years keeps the surface from drying and raveling, and we recommend checking the edges each spring, since that is where a long drive usually starts to fail first.
