Arlington sits on the same expansive clay that defines the Dallas-Fort Worth paving challenge, with a mix of older residential neighborhoods, newer subdivisions, and some of the region's largest commercial parking lots all moving together through the wet springs and hot, dry summers that crack asphalt and settle driveways.
Whether you own a home near Arlington's established neighborhoods or manage a commercial lot near the stadium district, the clay under your pavement shifts with the seasons, and that movement is what drives most of the cracking, settling, and pothole damage we repair across Arlington and the surrounding Dallas area. We have been serving Arlington and Tarrant County since 2012, and we know exactly how this soil works and what it does to pavement.
Asphalt Paving in Arlington (76015)
Arlington's driveways and parking lots sit on deep expansive clay that swells when wet and shrinks when dry. In spring, when the clay is saturated, it heaves and lifts pavement. By late summer, when the ground has pulled back from months above 100 degrees, edge cracks open and alligatoring spreads across the surface. That cycle repeats year after year, and it is the single most common reason Arlington homeowners call us for repair or resurfacing.
Commercial parking lots in Arlington face the same soil movement plus the weight and heat of traffic. Rutting and shoving appear where the asphalt has softened under summer sun and traffic, and potholes grow quickly once the base breaks down. Access for equipment is tight in many Arlington neighborhoods, and drainage around a lot or driveway matters more here than in places with stable soil. We size our crews and equipment to fit the job, and we build proper base and pitch so water runs away from your foundation and garage, not toward them.
Our team has worked in Arlington since 2012. We understand the local soil, the seasonal stresses, and the tight lot layouts that make the work harder and the planning more careful.

How a Job Works in Arlington
Step 1: Free On-Site Assessment. We come to your home or property in Arlington, measure the area, look at the subgrade and drainage, and talk honestly about what will hold and what will not. If your driveway is cracked but the base is still sound, resurfacing makes sense. If the base has failed and the alligatoring is deep, we tell you that patching is a waste and replacement is the right call. We give you a written estimate with tonnage and thickness specs, so you know exactly what you are getting.
Step 2: Permitting and Prep. If your job involves a driveway apron (where the drive meets the street) or a curb cut, Arlington's building department issues the permit. We help you navigate the local rules, and if you have an HOA, we coordinate with them to make sure your materials and design meet their standards. Texas 811 locates all utilities before we break ground. We schedule the work around your schedule and your neighbors' needs.
Step 3: The Work and Cleanup. On paving day, we remove the old asphalt if needed, prep and proof-roll the base, set proper drainage pitch, and lay the new hot mix asphalt. We leave your property clean, haul away all debris, and walk through the job with you before we leave. New asphalt should not be sealed for the first six to twelve months while it cures and hardens.
Driveway paving in Arlington typically starts around $6 per square foot for a new installation, and resurfacing (laying new asphalt over a sound base) runs from about $4 per square foot. A basic pothole or patch repair starts at $450. A full driveway replacement, which includes removal of the old asphalt and base work, runs from about $7 per square foot. Parking lot work is quoted on site, and we offer free commercial estimates. The final price depends on the square footage, the condition of the base, how much work the drainage and grading require, and how thick we need to build the asphalt to handle the traffic and the soil movement.
