McKinney's fast-growing subdivisions sit on the same expansive Blackland clay that defines driveways across the Dallas area, and the soil here moves the same way it does everywhere else in North Texas: it swells when spring rains come and pulls back hard in the summer heat, cracking asphalt and settling new driveways if the base was never built right in the first place.
We've been paving driveways, parking lots, and private roads across Dallas and the surrounding areas since 2012, and we know McKinney's terrain. When you call Dallas Asphalt Paving at (469) 949-4815 for a free estimate on a new driveway, a repair, or a resurfacing job in 75072, you're talking to a crew that understands what happens to asphalt when it sits on clay, how to build a base that will hold through wet springs and dry summers, and how to navigate McKinney's local permitting so your work gets done right.
Asphalt Paving in McKinney (75072)
McKinney's subdivisions push north and east into terrain that looks different from the older neighborhoods closer to Dallas, but the foundation is the same: deep black clay over Austin Chalk limestone. That clay is the defining fact for any driveway or parking lot here. When it's wet, it expands. When it's dry, it shrinks. A driveway poured on a thin or poorly compacted base will crack and settle as the clay moves through those wet-dry swings. A parking lot that wasn't built with a well-compacted aggregate foundation will rut and shove when the surface softens in the heat of a long Dallas summer.
We build bases that hold. On new driveway paving, we specify and compact the aggregate base to handle the clay beneath it. On parking lots for HOA roads and commercial properties, we work with tonnage specs and proof rolling so the foundation is there when the asphalt is laid. Our crews have been serving McKinney and the Dallas area since 2012, and we know the soil, the climate, and what it takes to build a driveway or lot that will last.

How a Job Works in McKinney
We start with a free on-site estimate. We'll measure your driveway or parking lot, look at the existing surface and the base underneath (if we're repairing or resurfacing), check the drainage and the pitch of the lot, and talk through what you need. We'll give you a written estimate with tonnage specs if it's a new driveway or a lot, and we'll be clear about what the work will cost and what it includes. If you need to check local permitting or HOA approval, we'll help you navigate that, and we'll make sure any driveway apron or curb cut is done to McKinney's standards.
On the day of the work, our crew will show up with the equipment we need. On a new driveway, we'll prepare and compact the base, then lay and finish the hot mix asphalt. On a repair or resurfacing job, we'll remove what needs to come out, prepare the surface, and lay new asphalt. We'll handle the grading and drainage so water doesn't run at your garage or foundation. When we're done, we'll clean up the property and walk through the finished work with you.
A new asphalt driveway in McKinney typically runs from $6 per square foot for the material and labor, depending on the size of the job, the condition of the base, and how thick we need to build it to handle the clay. A resurfacing or overlay on an existing driveway that still has a solid base starts at $4 per square foot. If you need a repair, pothole patching, or a smaller job, we have minimums and ballpark pricing, but the real cost depends on what we find on site. The best way to know what your job will cost is to call us at (469) 949-4815 for a free estimate. We'll measure, assess the base and drainage, and give you a clear written price before any work begins.
