Asphalt Paving in Sunnyvale, TX

Asphalt paving in Sunnyvale usually means longer driveways than in neighboring cities. When Sunnyvale incorporated in 1953, it allowed only single-family houses on one-acre lots, and that rule shaped a spread-out town. The population climbed from 5,130 in 2010 to 7,893 in 2020, an increase of about 54 percent, and new homes keep going up across its roughly 16.8 square miles.

Long drives and turnarounds

A driveway that runs well back from the road carries more than cars: work trucks, trailers, boats and delivery vans all use it. The turnaround or parking area near the house takes the heaviest wear. We build those areas with a thicker base and asphalt, and support the long edges so they do not crumble into the yard.

Gravel to asphalt

Many older Sunnyvale properties started with gravel drives. Converting to asphalt works well when the gravel is thick and firm, because it becomes part of the new base. On Blackland Prairie clay, gravel that has been pushed into the soil over the years often needs to be supplemented with new crushed stone before paving.

Water across big lots

On large lots, water travels a long way before it reaches a ditch. Long driveways interrupt that flow, so we look for where water crosses and decide whether the drive needs a culvert, a swale alongside, or a slight crown to shed water to both sides.

Along Lake Ray Hubbard

Sunnyvale lies along Lake Ray Hubbard and is the easternmost city entirely within Dallas County. Lakeside properties often have boats and trailers parked on the drive, which calls for a thicker section where they sit.

Storm history

An EF4 tornado damaged the Plantation RV park on December 26, 2015, before moving north into Garland and Rowlett. When we look at storm-affected pavement, we check for base damage, not just surface cracks.

What the bid covers

On larger Sunnyvale lots we walk the full length of the drive, note where water crosses, check the culvert at the road and dig a few test spots. The bid separates the main drive, turnaround, parking pads and culvert work so you can phase it if you want to.
