Paving Across North Richland Hills

Asphalt paving in North Richland Hills means working across every decade since the city began. In 1952 Clarence Jones started subdividing his 268-acre dairy farm into a suburban addition around today's Cummings Drive. The city incorporated the next year with about 500 residents, and the first 188 homes in the subdivision were required to be brick or masonry. The population reached 8,662 by 1960, 30,592 by 1980, 55,635 by 2000 and 69,917 at the 2020 census.

South NRH: the oldest streets

The neighborhoods near Cummings Drive, Grapevine Highway and the older parts of south NRH have the city's oldest driveways. Many have been overlaid more than once, so they sit high at the garage or form a lip at the apron. Overlaying again rarely fixes that. We usually recommend removing the built-up layers and rebuilding on a fresh stone base.

1970s and 1980s growth

The city added about 14,000 people in the 1970s and 15,000 more in the 1980s. Driveways from that era are now forty to fifty years old. Some still have a firm base and are good candidates for edge milling and an overlay; others have alligator cracking and sunken tire paths and need full replacement. We probe before recommending either.

Northern neighborhoods

North of Mid Cities Boulevard and along North Tarrant Parkway, homes are newer, and the work is mostly maintenance: crack sealing, sealcoating, extensions and fixing low spots before they hold water.

Commercial corridors

Davis Boulevard (FM 1938), Precinct Line Road (FM 3029), Rufe Snow, Mid Cities Boulevard, Bedford-Euless Road and the I-820 frontage are lined with retail, offices and churches. Their lots often fail at entrances and drive lanes first. We map each lot and price reconstruction, overlay and patching by area.

Owners and drainage

Census figures show about 63.5 percent of occupied homes are owner-occupied. The city's storm water page is clear that drainage on private lots is the owner's responsibility, and that diverting or concentrating runoff onto a neighbor is against state water laws. Every regrade we do is planned with that in mind.

Permits

The city requires contractors to have a contractor license application approved in its e-portal before applying for a first permit, and reminds homeowners that it is their job to make sure the contractor pulls the proper permits. We confirm with the city what your project needs before any work at the curb or approach.

Choosing a fix

Three checks decide it: how much of the surface has failed, whether the base is firm when probed, and where water goes. Less than about a quarter damaged on a firm base usually means repair or resurfacing; widespread cracking or soft spots mean replacement. You get prices for the options that make sense.

What the estimate includes

We measure, check slopes and runoff, probe failed areas and look at the apron. The written bid lists removal, base depth, asphalt thickness, edges and any sealing or striping separately. Call (817) 580-8766 or

North Richland Hills Questions

My driveway is higher than my garage floor. What happened?

Usually several overlays over the years. Each one adds 1.5 to 2 inches. Removing the old layers and rebuilding, or milling the edges, fixes it.

Who is responsible if water runs from my driveway to my neighbor?

The city treats private-lot drainage as the owner's responsibility. We grade new pavement so runoff goes to the street or an existing outlet.

Do you pave along Davis Boulevard and Precinct Line Road?

Yes. We rebuild, overlay, patch, seal and stripe commercial lots along the main corridors.

Can neighbors on the same street book together?

Yes. Doing several driveways in one trip can lower setup and travel costs for each.
