Paving in a Small, Close-Knit Town

Paving contractors in Gregory work in one of the smaller towns we serve. Gregory was established in 1886 and covers about 1.35 square miles in San Patricio County. The 2020 census counted 1,740 residents, down from 1,907 in 2010 and 2,739 in 1980, at a density of about 1,288 people per square mile. That makes for close-set homes on compact lots, and driveways that are short, narrow and often decades old.

Older driveways

With a population that peaked decades ago, much of Gregory's housing is older, and so are its driveways. Common problems are cracks across the full width, broken edges along narrow drives, and approaches that have settled below the street. A driveway that is otherwise sound can often be patched, crack-sealed and sealcoated for a fraction of the cost of replacing it.

Small jobs done right

Small driveways still need the same steps as large ones: removing failed material, compacting the base, rolling the asphalt and finishing the edges. Some contractors set minimum charges for small jobs (HomeGuide notes minimums around $2,000 for new driveways), so we try to group nearby jobs and keep travel costs reasonable for Gregory customers.

Housing

The 2020 census counted 656 housing units in Gregory, 12.7 percent vacant, with a homeowner vacancy rate of 2.2 percent. Most homes are owner-occupied and lived in for the long term, so maintenance like sealing and crack repair pays off for the people who live there.

A bit of film history

The 1981 film Raggedy Man, starring Sissy Spacek, was set in Gregory in 1944, with Spacek playing the town's telephone operator.

Gregory Questions

Is my small driveway worth repaving?

If the base has failed, yes. If it is sound and only the surface is worn, patching and sealing cost much less. We tell you which applies.

Do you charge extra to come to Gregory?

We try to group nearby jobs to keep travel costs down. The written estimate shows the full price.

Can you fix an approach that sits below the street?

Yes, with the city's approval. We raise the approach so water stops collecting at the joint.

What's the cheapest fix for a cracked driveway?

If the base is sound, crack sealing and a sealcoat cost the least. HomeGuide lists crack sealing at about $0.50 to $3 per linear foot.

Can you widen a narrow driveway?

Yes, on your property. Widening at the street needs the city's approval, which we check first.
