Paving Richardson's Older Neighborhoods

Asphalt paving in Richardson often means replacing pavement that is sixty years old. Richardson had just 1,289 residents in 1950 and 16,810 in 1960, after Texas Instruments opened on the city's southern border in 1956. Growth continued through the 1960s and 1970s, slowed in the 1980s, and in the 1990s came mainly in the northeast part of the city.

Driveways by era

Neighborhoods from the 1950s and 1960s in the southern part of the city have the oldest driveways. Many have been overlaid more than once and are now too high at the garage or the street. We usually recommend removing the old layers and building a new base. Driveways in the northeast, built in the 1990s, are more likely to need sealing and an overlay.

Two counties

About two-thirds of Richardson (18.2 square miles) is in Dallas County and the northern third (9.2 square miles) in Collin County. Both halves sit on clay, and both have the same basic paving needs, but property records, tax districts and some services differ.

Office and retail lots

Richardson has a large stock of office and retail lots, many from the 1970s and 1980s. Those lots often need drive lanes and entrances rebuilt and stall areas overlaid. We map the lot and phase the work so tenants stay open, and restripe to the 2010 ADA Standards.

Housing count

The 2020 census counted 49,267 housing units, up from 36,530 in 2010, as infill and redevelopment added townhomes and apartments.

Permits

Richardson has its own permit office. We confirm requirements before scheduling work at the curb or in parking lots.

Pricing

HomeGuide's national figures put remove-and-replace saw-cut work at $4 to $12 per square foot and overlays at $1 to $3. For office lots, HomeAdvisor's new-lot range of $2 to $4.50 per square foot gives a sense of reconstruction costs. Your written bid is the price for your lot.

What the bid covers

We map the lot by section and list reconstruction, overlay, patching, sealing and striping separately.

Richardson Questions

My driveway has been overlaid several times. Can it take another?

Usually not. Each layer raises it at the garage and street, and the old base is still underneath. Removing the layers and rebuilding is often better.

Can you rebuild just the drive lanes of our office lot?

Yes. We rebuild the heavily used lanes and overlay the stall areas.

Do you restripe office lots after hours?

Yes, evenings and weekends are available.

Can a 1950s driveway be saved?

Sometimes, if the base is still firm. Many have several layers of overlay and need to be removed and rebuilt.

Do you work on apartment lots?

Yes. We phase the work and give residents notice of which areas close when.
