Asphalt Paving in Placitas, NM

Private driveways entirely on private property often do not require a county road-cut permit. Any work that cuts or occupies Sandoval County right-of-way requires a road-cut or ROW permit from Public Works. Larger development work may also involve Planning & Zoning review. We confirm requirements for each site.

At roughly 5,800–6,000+ feet, freeze-thaw cycles are more frequent and snow is more common than in the valley. UV remains intense. These conditions accelerate binder oxidation and crack growth if the pavement is under-designed. Adequate thickness, quality mix, proper compaction, and timely maintenance significantly extend service life.

Yes. Many Placitas properties have long driveways on sloping terrain. We design for positive drainage, proper cross-slope, and edge stability so water sheds correctly and the pavement resists erosion and freeze-thaw damage.

Often yes. If the base remains sound, a properly prepared overlay can restore surface condition at lower cost than full-depth reconstruction. We evaluate the existing pavement and recommend the most cost-effective long-term solution.

Duration depends on length, whether it is new paving or an overlay, weather, and any required county permits. After approvals are in place, many private driveway projects are completed in one to a few days. We publish a realistic schedule at contract.

We serve all of Placitas, including the foothills, West Placitas, Homesteads and other subdivision areas, and surrounding Sandoval County communities within our service radius.
