First-time visitors to Lakeway are sometimes surprised to find that many streets and residential driveways are paved with asphalt. Unlike many other towns in the area, Lakeway was not founded in the 19th century. By the time Lakeway was planned, road builders had already begun to embrace asphalt pavement as the preferred choice. Asphalt pavement is economical, durable and attractive, and installation and repairs are quick and easy. At Alpha Paving, we offer a full range of asphalt services to the Lakeway area, including asphalt paving and overlays, sealcoating, crack filling, pothole repairs, street maintenance, asphalt milling and reclamation, pavement markings, speed bumps and parking lot striping.

Asphalt Paving in Lakeway
Lakeway residents take great pride in their properties, and the city officials make every effort to ensure that public properties are meticulously maintained. Whether asphalt pavement is used for a public thoroughfare, a parking lot or a residential driveway, there are certain maintenance procedures that need to be performed if it is to achieve its full life and retain its beauty throughout.
• Repairs: Eventually, all pavements will develop cracks. If these cracks are neglected, they will expand in size and become more numerous. Cracks are not just unsightly; they allow water to penetrate to the pavement’s supporting foundation. The water erodes the foundation, making it impossible for the foundation to support the weight of the pavement. Potholes develop, and the pavement often develops alligator cracking. Timely crack repairs can prevent extensive and costly damages.
• Sealant: When it comes to protecting asphalt pavement, sealcoating is the most economical and effective way to ensure a long life for the pavement. Sealcoating functions as a sunscreen to block the UV rays that leave asphalt dry and brittle. It also helps protect against damages from chemicals such as automotive fluids. As a bonus, sealcoating brings back the beautiful color that asphalt pavement has when it is new. Sealcoating should be applied every two to three years to ensure maximum protection.
