Paving Contractors in Rockport, TX

Paving contractors in Rockport work in a town that has spent years rebuilding. Hurricane Harvey made landfall near Rockport on August 25, 2017, as a Category 4 storm, and a year later about 20 percent of the population was still displaced. Many homes and businesses were repaired or rebuilt, and with them came new driveways, parking areas and repairs to pavement that floodwater and debris had damaged.

Between Aransas Bay and Copano Bay

Rockport sits on the Live Oak Peninsula between the western shore of Aransas Bay and the eastern shore of Copano Bay, at an official elevation of about 6.6 feet. On low ground like this, a driveway's slope and the depth of its base decide how quickly it dries after a storm. We grade new pavement to carry water to the street or a swale and build the base deep enough to stay firm when the ground is wet.

One of the oldest towns on the coast

Rockport was incorporated as a town on August 18, 1870, after a wharf built in 1867 helped it grow, and it is the Aransas County seat. The population went from 2,266 in 1950 to 10,070 in 2020. Older streets near the harbor have pavement and approaches that have been patched many times, while newer areas have subdivision driveways that mostly need sealing and crack repair.

Seasonal and second homes

The 2020 census counted 6,646 housing units and 4,417 households, with 33.5 percent of units vacant. Many owners are part-time residents. We can assess a property, send photos and a written estimate, and schedule work around your visits.

Permits

The City of Rockport and Aransas County set their own rules for driveway work at the street and for culverts. We confirm requirements with the right office before scheduling.
