Paving Inland, Up the Nueces Valley

Paving contractors in Mathis work on noticeably higher ground than the coast. Mathis sits at about 161 feet above sea level in San Patricio County, and it was incorporated in 1939. The town had 4,050 residents in 1950 and 4,333 at the 2020 census, so it has stayed a similar size for decades while the housing has aged.

Driveways in town

Much of the housing in Mathis is several decades old, and original driveways are often thin and cracked. We look at the base first. If it is firm, patching, crack sealing and an overlay can restore the surface; if it is soft or pumping water through the cracks, we recommend removing the old pavement and rebuilding.

Rural and lake-area properties

Outside town, many properties have longer gravel drives that rut after rain. Converting to asphalt works best when the gravel is thick enough to serve as part of the base. Where a drive crosses a ditch, the culvert has to carry the flow, or water will run across the new pavement and erode the edges.

Housing

The 2020 census counted 1,747 housing units in Mathis, with 14.2 percent vacant. For owners of rental homes and properties being prepared for sale, a sealcoat over sound asphalt is the most affordable improvement.

Business lots

Gas stations, restaurants and stores serving travelers and local residents have lots that take steady traffic and occasional heavy trucks. We price heavier sections at the entrances and pumps, and patch and seal the rest.

Permits

The City of Mathis handles its own right-of-way, and county roads fall under San Patricio County. We confirm which applies before working at the road.

Mathis Questions

Can my long gravel drive be paved?

Yes. We check the gravel's depth and firmness, rebuild thin areas, and pave over a compacted base. Ditch crossings get a properly sized culvert.

Is an overlay enough for my old driveway?

Only if the base is still firm. If it is soft, the cracks will come back through the overlay, so we check first.

Who approves work on county roads?

San Patricio County, for roads outside city limits. Inside town, the City of Mathis.

How much does it cost to pave a long drive?

It depends on length, base condition and drainage. National guides range from about $5 to $15 per square foot for new asphalt; we give you a written price after the site visit.

Do you replace culverts?

Yes. A crushed or undersized culvert floods the driveway entrance, so we include replacement when needed.
