Amarillo driveways crack and pothole because of what the High Plains do to asphalt: hail in spring and summer, freeze-thaw nights in winter, relentless sun and wind that oxidize the surface, and clay subgrades that heave when wet soil expands beneath the pavement. Whether you own a brick Tudor or Craftsman bungalow along historic Route 66, a 1950s-70s ranch in Olsen Park or Belmar, or a newer home in the southwest subdivisions like Heritage Hills or the Colonies, your driveway is working against Amarillo's weather and terrain every season.
Amarillo Asphalt Paving has served homeowners and property managers across Amarillo and the surrounding area since 2011. We understand the soil, the climate, and the neighborhoods here. When your driveway settles, cracks, or develops potholes, when a parking lot shows rutting or broken edges, or when you need a new drive built right the first time, we show up with a written estimate, tonnage specs, and honest advice about whether your pavement needs repair, resurfacing, or replacement.
Asphalt Paving in Amarillo (79101)
Amarillo sits on Pullman clay loam over caliche caprock at 3,600 feet elevation. That clay moves. When spring storms soak the ground and summer heat bakes it dry, the subgrade shifts, and cracks follow. Winter blizzards and freeze-thaw cycles break edges and open potholes. Loaded grain trucks and cattle haulers on the roads out toward the feedlots and ranches grind pavement hard. In town, tight lot access in older neighborhoods, alley garages, and ribbon driveways mean we often work in confined spaces where a full-size paver and roller have to earn their room. We handle all of it: driveway paving and repair, pothole patching, full-depth replacement, resurfacing and overlay, milling and removal, parking lot construction and repair, private roads, recycled millings, tar and chip, and gravel drives with proper grading and drainage.
We are fully insured for the work we do. Our team has been paving driveways, lots, and roads across Amarillo for over a decade, and we know what holds in this climate and what fails.

How a Job Works in Amarillo
We start with a free on-site assessment. We walk your driveway or lot, measure the area, look at the subgrade and drainage, check for settlement or heaving, and identify whether the pavement can be repaired or whether it needs resurfacing or replacement. We ask about your HOA rules if you are in a master-planned community, and we discuss any local permits your city or village requires. We give you a written estimate with square footage, tonnage, and a clear description of the work.
Once you approve, we schedule the work during the paving season, roughly April through October when hot mix asphalt is available and weather is reliable. Our crew handles site prep, base work if needed, proof rolling, paving, and compaction to the thickness and density your driveway or lot needs. If your job involves a driveway apron, curb cut, or work near the right-of-way, we help you navigate local permitting through the City of Amarillo or your village. We coordinate with Texas 811 for utility locates before any excavation.
When the work is done, we clean up thoroughly. You get a walkthrough, and we answer any questions about maintenance and the cure period for new asphalt.
Driveway paving in Amarillo typically runs from $6 per square foot for a standard new installation, and resurfacing or overlay starts around $4 per square foot, depending on the condition of your base, site access, and the thickness required. Repair work like pothole patching or localized full-depth patches starts at $450. Recycled asphalt millings driveways run from $3 per square foot, and tar and chip starts at $5 per square foot if you want a lower-cost alternative. Gravel drives with proper grading begin around $950. Parking lot work is quoted on-site and varies widely by size and condition; we offer free estimates for commercial properties. The biggest cost factors are always square footage, the condition of the subgrade, site access for equipment, and the thickness and base preparation your pavement needs.
