Asphalt Paving in Balch Springs, TX

Asphalt paving in Balch Springs serves a city that formed to stay independent. Balch Springs incorporated on June 13, 1953, to avoid being annexed by Dallas, after decades as a rural community south of Mesquite. It had 6,821 residents in 1960 and 27,685 in 2020, a 16.7 percent jump over 2010 alone. Interstate 635 divides the city into two nearly equal halves, with I-20 and U.S. 175 along its southern edge.

Owners and renters

The 2020 census found 55.6 percent of homes owner-occupied and 44.4 percent rented, out of 8,692 housing units. For homeowners, the usual requests are replacing a worn driveway or extending one for another vehicle. For landlords, it is usually repairs, crack sealing and a sealcoat between tenants. We can visit several rental addresses in one trip and give each its own written bid.

Older pavement on clay

Much of the housing dates from the decades after incorporation, and driveways from that era often sit on thin bases over Blackland Prairie clay. When the clay dries in late summer it pulls away from the driveway edges, and when it rains the edges soak and soften. We rebuild edges with compacted stone and taper the asphalt so it is supported.

Highway frontage

Businesses along I-635, I-20 and U.S. 175 have lots that take steady traffic and heavy trucks. Entrances and drive lanes wear first. We build those sections thicker and patch or overlay the stall areas.

Permits

Balch Springs runs its own permit office. We confirm what is required before scheduling work, particularly at the curb or approach.

Clay edges and sprinklers

Irrigation and downspouts that keep the clay beside a driveway wet are a big cause of broken edges here. At the estimate we note where water is soaking the ground next to the pavement and suggest simple changes, like redirecting a sprinkler head or extending a downspout, that make the new edge last longer.

What the bid covers

Removal, base depth, asphalt thickness, edges and any work at the curb are priced as separate lines, so you can compare our bid with others on the same terms.
