Asphalt Paving in Richland Hills, TX

Asphalt paving in Richland Hills is mostly about older pavement. Richland Hills became a city on September 23, 1950, and covers 3.14 square miles, all land. The Handbook of Texas says roughly 9,000 people lived there by the mid-1960s, and the Census estimates 8,529 residents in 2025, so the city has been close to its current size for about sixty years. Most homes and their driveways have been in place for decades.

A settled population

Census data show 18.2 percent of residents are 65 or older, and owners live in 63.4 percent of occupied homes, with a median owner-occupied value of $248,100. Long-time owners often ask the practical question: is it worth replacing, or can the driveway be fixed for a few more years? We check the base and give you both prices.

Old driveways, common problems

• Alligator cracking in the tire paths
• Edges broken off along the lawn
• Sunken areas where water stands
• Several overlays that have raised the surface above the garage slab
• Settled trenches from old plumbing or gas work

If the base is firm, edge milling, patching and an overlay can restore the surface. If it is soft, the driveway needs to come out and be rebuilt.

Compact lots

With 3.14 square miles and a dense street grid, many driveways are short and close to the neighbors. That makes runoff direction important. We set slopes so water goes to the street instead of across the property line.

Business lots

Richland Hills has commercial frontage along its main roads, with lots that take steady traffic. We patch, overlay, seal and stripe those lots and phase the work so businesses stay open.

Permits

Richland Hills runs its own permit office. We confirm what your project needs with City Hall before scheduling.

What the estimate includes

We measure, probe the base, check slopes and note where water goes. You get a written bid with every part of the job priced separately.

Pricing

HomeGuide's national figures put saw-cut repairs at $4 to $12 per square foot, resurfacing at $3 to $7, and new driveways at $5 to $12 or more. On an older Richland Hills driveway, the split between those options depends on the base, which is why we probe first.

Safe transitions

For older owners especially, a smooth joint at the garage, walk and apron matters. We mill or rebuild lips and trip edges as part of the job.
