Asphalt Paving in Albuquerque, NM

Yes. Permit preparation and coordination with Development Review Services and the Hydrology Section is part of our standard GA-1 process for commercial and larger paving projects.

Pricing depends on thickness, base preparation needs, site access, total square footage, and whether the work is new construction, overlay, or full reconstruction. Residential driveways and small commercial lots are typically quoted per square foot after a site visit; larger parking fields are bid with detailed quantities. We provide free, written estimates with clear scope.

Ideal windows are late spring (April–May) and early-to-mid fall (September–October) when overnight temperatures support proper compaction and monsoon risk is lower. Summer work is possible but must be scheduled around afternoon storms.

Many commercial applications start at a 4-inch minimum asphaltic concrete section, with thicker pavement or stronger base required for heavier truck traffic or weaker subgrade. Final thickness is determined by soil conditions, expected loads, and City standards.

With proper base preparation, correct mix, good drainage, and periodic sealcoating (every 2–3 years), a well-built asphalt pavement commonly delivers 15–20+ years of service. UV oxidation and water intrusion are the main enemies — both are controlled by material selection and maintenance.

If the existing pavement and base are structurally sound, a mill-and-overlay is often the most cost-effective solution. Where the base has failed or soft spots are widespread, full-depth reconstruction is required. We evaluate the condition on-site and recommend the approach that will actually last.
