Pavement That Carries Oilfield Traffic

Paving contractors in Alice see more heavy trucks than most towns in the region. Alice was established in 1888, and today its economy centers on oil, with more than 100 oil field companies in the area. Service yards, supply businesses and the restaurants and shops that serve their crews all have lots that take loaded pickups and trucks every day.

Heavy-duty sections

A parking lot built for cars fails quickly under trucks. We look at where trucks enter, turn and park, and price thicker asphalt over a deeper stone base in those areas. In equipment yards, we also discuss whether asphalt, a compacted stone surface, or concrete pads at the heaviest spots makes the most sense for your use and budget.

Older homes

Alice had 16,449 residents in 1950 and 17,891 in 2020, with a 2022 estimate of 17,697. That steady population means much of the housing is decades old, and many driveways have been patched again and again. When patches cover a large share of the surface, we price a replacement alongside the repair so you can compare.

Higher ground

At about 202 feet above sea level, Alice is far from the coast and sits higher than most towns in our area. Drainage is still a concern on flat lots, but the issues are more about runoff across driveways and into street ditches than about tidal flooding.

Housing count

The city had 7,312 housing units at the 2020 census, with 11.9 percent vacant. For owners of several rental houses, we can visit and price multiple properties in one trip.

Permits

Alice handles its own right-of-way permits. We confirm approach and culvert requirements with the city before starting work at the street.

Alice Questions

Will asphalt hold up to oilfield trucks?

Yes, if it is built for them. We use a thicker base and asphalt in truck lanes and turning areas and write the depths into the quote.

Is it worth patching my old driveway?

If the base is mostly sound, yes. If patches already cover much of it, replacement often costs less over time. We price both.

Do you work outside Alice city limits?

Yes, across Jim Wells County. Outside the city, we check county requirements for work at the road.

How thick should a lot for trucks be?

Thicker than a car lot. Cost guides cite 4 inches or more of asphalt for commercial lots, over a deeper stone base. We size it to your traffic.

Can you patch potholes in a working yard?

Yes. We schedule around your operating hours and cut out and rebuild failed areas so they last.
