Austin's Residential Paving Specialists

Your driveway is the first thing visitors see and the last thing most homeowners think about — until it starts cracking, heaving, or crumbling. Legacy Paving specializes in residential asphalt paving throughout Austin and the surrounding area, delivering durable, properly-graded surfaces that hold up against Central Texas heat, clay soil movement, and heavy seasonal rain.

Whether you need a brand-new driveway, a full replacement of deteriorated asphalt, or a cost-effective overlay on a structurally sound base, we provide honest assessments and accurate written quotes before any work begins. No hidden costs. No pressure. Just quality paving done right.

What's Included in Every Job
  • Free on-site assessment — we evaluate your base, existing surface condition, grading, and drainage before quoting.
  • Detailed written estimate — itemized scope, material specs, and final price. What we quote is what you pay.
  • Proper base preparation — correct grading, compaction, and tack coat application for a surface that lasts.
  • Professional hot mix asphalt — proper mix design, temperature, and compaction density for your project.
  • Clean edges and site cleanup — we leave your property clean with neat, straight edges and no leftover debris.
  • Workmanship warranty — we stand behind our work. Issues after project completion are addressed promptly.

What We Do

Residential Paving Services We Offer

Every residential paving need, handled by one experienced local contractor.

  • New Driveway Installation
    Complete new driveway from subgrade prep through final compaction. We handle grading, base, and asphalt placement in most cases in a single day.
  • Full Driveway Replacement
    Old driveway demolition and complete replacement when existing asphalt is too deteriorated to resurface. Includes base inspection and repair as needed.
  • Asphalt Overlay
    A new layer of asphalt over your existing driveway when the base is structurally sound. Costs 30–50% less than full replacement with excellent results.
  • Driveway Repair & Patching
    Targeted repair of potholes, alligator cracking, and sunken sections. Proper saw-cut edges and permanent hot mix patching — not cold patch that pops out.
  • Seal Coating
    Professional seal coating protects your driveway from UV damage, oil, and water — the single best maintenance investment for an asphalt surface in Central Texas.
  • Crack Sealing & Filling
    Hot-pour rubberized crack sealing stops water from penetrating cracks before they become potholes. Most effective when done at first signs of cracking.
  • Grading & Drainage Correction
    Improper drainage is the leading cause of driveway failure. We correct grading during installation so water flows away from your home and foundation.
  • Driveway Edging & Borders
    Clean, straight driveway edges with properly cut and compacted borders. We can also install concrete curbing or steel edging for a premium finished look.
Asphalt vs Concrete

Why Asphalt is the Right Choice
for Most Austin Driveways

Both materials work — but asphalt's flexibility, lower cost, and easier repairability make it the preferred choice for most Central Texas homeowners.

Central Texas Clay Soil

Austin's expansive clay soils shrink and swell dramatically with moisture. Asphalt's flexibility absorbs this movement far better than rigid concrete, which cracks and heaves as a result.

Texas Heat & UV

Sealed asphalt repels UV rays and prevents oxidation. With regular seal coating every 3–5 years, your driveway stays flexible and protected through Austin's 110°F+ summer temperatures.

Lower Total Cost of Ownership

Asphalt costs 30–50% less to install than concrete. Even accounting for periodic seal coating, the total 20-year cost of an asphalt driveway is typically lower than concrete.

Repaired, Not Replaced

When sections of asphalt fail, you repair just the affected area. Concrete repairs almost always look patchy and can cost as much as full replacement.

Our Process

How Your Driveway Project Works

From your first call to driving on your new driveway — here's exactly what to expect.

  1. Free On-Site Estimate

    We visit your property, assess your existing surface or site conditions, measure the area, check grading and drainage, and give you a detailed written quote — no charge, no obligation.

  2. Review & Schedule

    You review the itemized written estimate. Once approved, we schedule your project — most residential jobs are booked within 1–2 weeks of estimate approval.

  3. Surface Preparation

    Our crew removes old asphalt (if replacing), grades the subbase, compacts the foundation, and applies tack coat for proper bonding. This step determines how long your driveway lasts.

  4. Asphalt Paving

    Hot mix asphalt is placed at the correct temperature and thickness, then compacted with a roller for proper density. Clean edges are cut or formed for a finished appearance.

  5. Inspection & Cleanup

    We walk the completed surface with you, confirm drainage direction and edge quality, and leave the site completely clean. You'll typically be driving on it within 24–48 hours.

  • "Our old concrete driveway had cracked and heaved badly — Legacy Paving removed the whole thing and put in a beautiful new asphalt driveway in one day. The crew was professional, showed up on time, and the final result looks amazing. Exactly what we quoted, no surprises."
    Sarah K.

    Tom B.
    Homeowner, Round Rock TX
  • "We have a long circular driveway — about 1,200 sq ft. Legacy Paving did the full replacement including fixing a drainage issue we'd had for years. They regraded the whole thing and the water issue is completely gone. Worth every penny."

FAQs

Residential Paving FAQs

Residential asphalt driveways in Austin typically cost $3–$7 per square foot installed, depending on size, existing surface condition, base prep required, and access. A standard 2-car driveway (400–600 sq ft) generally runs $1,500–$4,200. Contact us for a free, written estimate specific to your property.
A properly installed asphalt driveway in Central Texas lasts 20–30 years with routine maintenance including seal coating every 3–5 years and prompt crack repair. Texas heat accelerates oxidation, so seal coating is especially important here.
Most residential driveways are completed in a single day. Preparation (old surface removal or grading) typically takes 2–4 hours, and asphalt placement and compaction takes another 2–4 hours depending on size. You can typically drive on it within 24–48 hours.
Most residential driveway replacements in Austin do not require a permit if you are paving within the existing footprint. New driveway aprons connecting to a public street may require a City of Austin Right-of-Way permit. We handle this assessment during your free estimate.
Asphalt costs 30–50% less than concrete upfront, installs faster, and is easier to repair. Concrete lasts longer (30–50 years) and requires less maintenance, but cracks are harder to fix and initial cost is higher. In Central Texas, asphalt's flexibility can actually be an advantage as it handles expansive clay soil movement better than rigid concrete.
