Serving Seguin, TX and surrounding areas. (830) 386-1018
Cracks, potholes, and sunken spots grow with every rain and heat wave. We find the root cause and fix it properly - so the repair holds.
Asphalt repair in Seguin means assessing the damage and what is underneath it, removing or treating the affected area, addressing any base issues, and filling with fresh hot-mix asphalt - properly compacted so it bonds tightly to the surrounding surface. Most residential repairs are completed in a single day.
The difference between a repair that holds and one that fails again in a few months comes down to what the contractor does before laying any new asphalt. Seguin's clay soils move with every wet-dry cycle, and if the base beneath your driveway has shifted or eroded, patching the surface alone will not hold. We assess the base first - every time. For damage that has spread across the whole surface, our asphalt crack sealing service or a full resurfacing may be the better fit.
Acting early saves money. A targeted repair on a crack or small pothole costs a fraction of what full replacement costs once the damage has spread. If you are unsure what your driveway or lot actually needs, call us and we will come take a look - no obligation.
If cracks that were small last year are wider now, that is a clear signal to act. In Seguin's clay-soil environment, cracks tend to expand faster than in more stable soils because the ground beneath keeps moving - catching them early is much cheaper than waiting for them to spread.
A hole or depression in the surface means the base material beneath has failed or washed away - especially common after heavy rain events when water finds its way under the surface through existing cracks. A pothole will not heal on its own and only gets larger with each vehicle that passes over it.
When you see interconnected cracks that look like a grid, the base beneath that area has lost its ability to support the surface. This type of damage cannot be fixed with a simple crack filler - it requires removing and replacing the affected section and addressing what caused the base to fail.
Seguin's intense sun oxidizes asphalt over time, turning it dull gray and making it brittle. When the surface starts to crumble at the edges or shed loose gravel, the binder that holds the material together is breaking down. A repair or resurfacing combined with sealing can extend the life of the pavement significantly.
We handle targeted asphalt repairs - pothole filling, cracked section replacement, sunken area correction, and edge repair - using hot-mix asphalt and proper compaction equipment. For cracks that have not yet opened into potholes, asphalt crack sealing is a cost-effective way to stop them from spreading before they turn into bigger problems.
When damage has spread across the whole surface but the base is still solid, a full resurfacing layer covers the damage and resets the surface. And for roads, lots, or driveways where individual repairs no longer make economic sense, our pothole repair service offers focused, fast turnaround on the worst spots while you plan a longer-term solution.
Right for any surface with holes or sunken spots where the base material has eroded or washed away.
Best for isolated areas of alligator cracking or structural failure where surface patching alone will not hold.
Suited for driveways or lots where the edges have broken away or crumbled, leaving exposed, unstable borders.
Ideal when widespread surface damage or oxidation covers the whole area but the base beneath is still structurally sound.
Seguin sits on expansive clay soils common across Guadalupe County and the broader central Texas area. Clay expands when it absorbs rain and contracts sharply during dry periods, and that constant movement puts stress on paved surfaces from below. This is why many driveways and parking areas in this area show cracking that looks premature - the surface may be fine, but the ground underneath has been shifting. When we repair asphalt here, we always check the base first, because a patch laid over a failed base will not last through the next drought-and-rain cycle. Customers in areas like Luling and Lockhart deal with the same soil conditions, and we take the same approach across every job in our service area.
Timing also matters here in a way it does not in cooler climates. Seguin experiences pronounced wet-dry swings - heavy spring rain followed by long dry spells - and those cycles are exactly when cracks open up and potholes form. Getting a repair done before the next round of heavy rain is not just a convenience, it is the difference between a targeted fix and watching a small problem turn into a much larger one. The Texas Asphalt Pavement Association provides state-specific guidance on asphalt repair practices and materials suited to Texas climate conditions.
We come out to see the damage in person - we do not quote asphalt repair over the phone. The size of the area, base condition, and equipment access all affect the price, and those things need to be seen. Expect a reply within one business day.
At the estimate visit, we look at not just the surface but what is happening underneath. We check for base failure, drainage problems, and how far the damage extends beyond what is visible. This shapes whether a patch, a section replacement, or full resurfacing is the right call.
On the day of the repair, we saw-cut clean edges around the damaged section, remove the broken material, compact or add base as needed, and place hot-mix asphalt. Clean edges are what allow new material to bond tightly to the surrounding pavement.
Fresh asphalt needs at least 24 hours off the surface - longer in summer heat. A few weeks after curing, applying a sealcoat over the entire surface is strongly recommended for Seguin's sun-intense climate to protect both the new patch and the surrounding asphalt.

(830) 386-1018We check what is happening underneath before we touch the surface. In central Texas, many failed repairs are caused by skipping this step - the patch looks fine for a few months, then fails when the base beneath it shifts again. We find and fix the root cause.
We use hot-mix asphalt and proper compaction equipment - not cold-patch bags from a hardware store. Cold-patch is fine for a temporary fill while you schedule a real repair, but it is not a permanent fix. Hot-mix bonds properly, compacts correctly, and lasts.
Texas requires paving contractors to hold a state-issued license through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. Hiring a licensed contractor means the state has verified their qualifications and you have recourse if something goes wrong. Ask us for our license number.
We work across Seguin and the surrounding communities - from driveways near the historic downtown square to commercial lots along the I-10 corridor. If you are in Guadalupe County or a neighboring area, we can be there.
Every repair we do is meant to last - not just look good for a season. When you call Truegrade, you get a contractor who knows central Texas soil, works with hot-mix asphalt and proper equipment, and will tell you straight whether a repair makes sense or whether a larger fix is the right investment.
Seal cracks before they open into potholes - a cost-effective preventive step after any repair or on surfaces that are still structurally sound.
