Big Spring sits on the eastern edge of the Permian Basin along I-20, and the hilly older neighborhoods around downtown and Wadley-Barron Park carry driveways that have been working hard since the 1940s and 1950s. The wide lots and long asphalt runs that made sense then are aging now, and the intense West Texas heat, rare violent storms, and constant truck traffic grinding across our region wear pavement down faster than most homeowners expect.
Midland Asphalt Paving has served Big Spring and the surrounding area since 2011. We know what happens to asphalt in this climate, why potholes and settling driveways show up the way they do here, and how to build or repair a driveway that will hold up to another decade of 100-degree summers and the heavy equipment that rolls through town. When a Big Spring homeowner or property manager needs honest advice about whether to patch, resurface, or replace, we show up with a tape measure and real tonnage specs, not a sales pitch.
Asphalt Paving in Big Spring (79720)
Big Spring's terrain and climate create specific challenges for asphalt. The ground here is sandy loam over hard caliche, which makes a solid base when it is compacted right but turns into a rutted mess when it is not. Summer temperatures above 100 degrees and relentless sun oxidize asphalt fast. Wind drives sand across every surface. And when the rare but violent thunderstorms hit, they dump inches of rain on ground that cannot absorb it quickly, which means water backs up against garages and foundations and weakens the base under pavement.
Loaded water trucks, frac sand haulers, and pickups with trailers grind the I-20 corridor and the service roads every day. Driveways settle and heave where expansive clay moves through wet-then-dry seasons. Potholes and broken edges become trip and vehicle hazards fast. A parking lot whose surface has failed becomes a liability exposure. We handle all of it: driveway paving and repair, pothole patching, resurfacing and overlay, full-depth replacement, parking lot construction and repair, gravel drives and grading, and private roads. We have served Big Spring and the Midland area since 2011, and we understand what fails here and why.

How a Job Works in Big Spring
We start with a free on-site assessment. You call us at (432) 289-5378 or request an estimate, and we come out to your property, measure the area, look at the base condition, check the drainage, and talk through what the problem is and what will actually fix it. We give you a written estimate with square footage, tonnage, and the work scope spelled out clearly. No surprises.
When you say go, our crew schedules the work around the weather. In Big Spring, we work year-round, but we keep an eye on the summer heat and the wind. We bring in the equipment we need, prep the base right (that caliche matters), lay the asphalt or millings to the thickness we promised, and finish the edges and aprons. If your driveway apron meets the street or a curb cut, we help you navigate Big Spring's local permit requirements. If you are in an HOA, we coordinate with the architectural standards. We leave your property clean and walk you through the finished work.
Driveway paving in Big Spring typically runs from $6 per square foot for a new installation, depending on the size, access, and base condition. Resurfacing an existing driveway costs less, starting from $4 per square foot. A pothole or patch repair starts at $450, and a full-depth driveway replacement starts at $7 per square foot. Parking lot work is quoted on site and depends on the square footage, the condition of the base, and the scope of prep work needed. The biggest cost factors are the size of the area, how much base work is required (especially if the caliche is rutted or the grade is poor), and whether we need to remove and haul away failed pavement first. We give you a free estimate by phone or on-site. Call us at (432) 289-5378 to discuss your project and get a price.
