Smart Surface Renewal Backed by Modern Grade Control
Using Topcon grade control, 3D topography systems, and laser transits, Tex Pave Experts delivers precise asphalt overlays for commercial properties and residential driveways throughout the wider DFW metro and Northeast Texas. An overlay restores a worn but structurally sound surface at a fraction of full replacement cost, and our technology ensures the new layer is placed at the right thickness and slope. The result looks and performs like new.
Accuracy is everything with overlays. Get the grade wrong and you trap water; get it right and you extend pavement life by years.
What an Asphalt Overlay Is
An asphalt overlay is a new layer of hot mix asphalt installed over existing pavement that still has a sound base. It renews the surface, smooths out minor imperfections, and improves appearance and ride quality. Because it builds on a solid foundation, an overlay is one of the most cost-effective ways to rehabilitate aging asphalt.
Types of Overlay Applications
- Parking Lot Overlays – Renewed surfaces for retail, office, and warehouse lots
- Roadway and HOA Road Overlays – Smoother, safer driving surfaces for private roads
- Driveway Overlays – Affordable renewal for worn residential driveways
- Mill-and-Overlay – Milling the old surface first for a clean, level result where clearance matters
Our Overlay Process
- Surface and Base Evaluation – We confirm the existing base is sound enough to support an overlay
- Preparation – Cracks are addressed and the surface is cleaned and prepped for bonding
- Grade Setup – Topcon grade control and laser transits establish precise slopes for proper drainage
- Overlay Placement – New asphalt is laid and compacted to uniform thickness
- Final Check – We verify smoothness, grade, and water flow before completion
Benefits of an Asphalt Overlay
- Budget-Friendly Renewal – A like-new surface without the cost of full replacement
- Extended Pavement Life – A fresh wearing layer protects the structure beneath
- Improved Drainage – Precision grading corrects minor slope and ponding issues
- Fast Turnaround – Less excavation than replacement means quicker completion
