Paving Contractors in Odem, TX

Paving contractors in Odem work in a town of about 2,255 people. Odem was platted in 1909 by John James Welder and David Odem, the county sheriff it is named for. The town had 1,680 residents in 1950 and 2,088 in 1960, and has stayed close to that size since. At about 72 feet above sea level, Odem sits higher than the bay towns, which helps with drainage, but flat lots still need a deliberate slope.

Households

The 2020 census counted 801 households and 901 housing units, 11.1 percent vacant. Most of the work here is residential: replacing worn driveways, extending them for extra vehicles, converting gravel drives to asphalt, and sealcoating.

Gravel to asphalt

On many properties in and around Odem, the existing gravel drive can become part of the new base if it is thick and firm. We regrade it, add crushed stone where it is thin, compact it, and pave over it. That approach can lower the cost compared with digging out everything.

Edges on narrow drives

Narrow driveways get driven off the edge, and unsupported asphalt edges break off. We taper and compact the edges, and where cars regularly cut a corner, we widen the pavement at the turn.

Small business lots

Shops, churches and offices in town often have small lots that need patching, sealing and fresh lines more than full replacement. We quote those in sections so you can do the most urgent work first.

Permits

The City of Odem sets its own rules for work at the street. We confirm requirements before working on an approach or culvert.
