Paving in a City That Is Mostly Water

Paving contractors in Aransas Pass work in a city that is more water than land. Of its 52.44 square miles, 39.87 are water and just 12.57 are land, and the official elevation is about 16 feet. Aransas Pass reaches into Aransas, Nueces and San Patricio counties, about 20 miles northeast of Corpus Christi on SH 35 and U.S. 181, with a 6-mile causeway and a free ferry linking it to Mustang Island.

Pavement near salt water

Lots near the harbor and the causeway see salt spray, marine traffic and boat trailers. Asphalt itself handles salt fairly well, but standing water and constant dampness weaken the base. We keep surfaces sloped to drain, seal on dry days, and build up edges where boat ramps or wash areas send water across the pavement.

Working waterfront businesses

Shrimping and tourism are the city's main industries, along with farming and oil and gas. That means bait shops, seafood businesses, restaurants, RV parks and marinas with lots that see trucks with trailers turning tightly. We build turning areas thicker and patch rutted spots before they become potholes.

Homes

The 2020 census counted 4,199 housing units in Aransas Pass, with 66.6 percent of occupied homes owner-occupied and 23.9 percent of units vacant, a figure that reflects second homes and seasonal rentals. Seasonal owners often want work scheduled while they are away; we can coordinate with you by phone and photos.

Permits

Aransas Pass sets its own right-of-way rules, and state highway frontage on SH 35 or U.S. 181 involves TxDOT. We check both before scheduling work at the street.

Typical projects in Aransas Pass

Driveway replacement and extension for boats and trailers
Patching and resurfacing for marina, bait shop and restaurant lots
Sealcoating on dry days between storms
Edge repair where runoff has undermined the pavement
Striping for business and RV park lots

Wet ground and the base

With water covering most of the city's area and land only about 16 feet above sea level, many lots have a high water table. A base that sits wet loses strength, so we look for soft spots and cracks that pump fines, then thicken the base or raise the pavement where needed. Your quote lists the base depth for each area.

Aransas Pass Questions

Can you work on my property while I'm out of town?

Yes. We can walk the site, send photos and a written estimate, and schedule the work with your approval.

Do you pave RV park and marina lots?

Yes. We size the pavement for trailers and RVs and plan drainage around wash areas and ramps.

Who issues permits for street work?

The City of Aransas Pass for city streets, and TxDOT for frontage on state highways. We check which applies.

Will a sealcoat help with salt air?

Sealcoating protects the asphalt binder from sun and water and resists spills. Keeping water draining off the surface matters even more.

Can you fix edges washed out by runoff?

Yes. We rebuild the base under the edge, repave it and look at where the runoff is coming from.
