Garland's mid-century ranch homes sit on the same expansive Blackland clay that defines all of Dallas, and your driveway feels it every year. Long double drives poured decades ago crack along the edges as clay swells through wet spring and pulls back in summer drought, opening edge failures and alligator patterns that spread fast once they start.
Dallas Asphalt Paving has served Garland and the surrounding area since 2012. We know the soil here, the drainage challenges, and the difference between a repair that holds and money thrown at a patch. When your driveway needs work, call us for a free on-site estimate at (469) 949-4815.
Asphalt Paving in Garland (75040)
Garland's housing stock is mostly ranch and mid-century residential on wider lots with long double driveways, the kind of layout that lets clay movement show up plainly. Your driveway sits on deep black clay over Austin Chalk limestone, the defining fact for any paving crew in this part of Dallas. When wet spring comes, that clay swells. When summer heat and drought arrive, it pulls back. That seasonal movement cracks asphalt along edges and opens alligator patterns in the field. Water pools where pitch has failed, and ruts develop where summer heat has softened the surface under load.
Our team understands these failure modes because we work in them every year. We assess whether a driveway can be repaired, resurfaced, or needs full replacement. We handle pothole and edge-crack patching, asphalt resurfacing and overlay, full-depth removal and replacement, and private road paving for HOA communities across the Dallas area. We're fully insured for the work, and we provide written estimates with tonnage and thickness specs so you know what you're paying for.

How a Job Works in Garland
You call us at (469) 949-4815 or request a free estimate online. Our crew schedules a time to visit your property, measure the work, assess the subgrade and drainage, and talk through your options. We show up on time, ask good questions, and give you a written estimate with the square footage, thickness, tonnage, and price so there are no surprises.
When work begins, we bring the equipment needed for the job. For driveway repair and resurfacing, that means a roller, compaction equipment, and the crew to place and finish asphalt properly. For wider lots or longer drives, we stage equipment to avoid damage to lawn and landscaping. If your property backs toward the bluffs or sits on a tight lot, we plan access carefully. If you're in an HOA community, we coordinate with your architectural review before we start. Texas 811 utility locates are called before any excavation work, as the law requires.
When the job is done, we sweep and clean the site, walk you through the work, and answer your questions. Your driveway is ready to use, and we leave your property clean.
Driveway paving in Garland starts at $6 per square foot for new installation and around $4 per square foot for resurfacing an existing drive. Pothole repair and edge-crack patching typically run from $450 and up, depending on the size and depth of the damage. A full driveway replacement runs from $7 per square foot. The main cost drivers are square footage, the condition of the base, and how much preparation is needed before the asphalt goes down. A drive on good compacted base costs less than one where the subgrade has settled or where drainage needs work. Call us at (469) 949-4815 for a free on-site estimate. We'll measure your driveway, look at the soil and drainage, and give you an honest quote with no pressure to do more than the job needs.
