Commercial asphalt and private road surfacing in Weatherford.

Commercial pavement on the west side of DFW

For Weatherford commercial properties, worn parking areas and broken entrances should be evaluated separately. Where the pavement section remains sound, milling and overlay may avoid unnecessary full removal. Recurring potholes, movement or ponding can indicate repair work below the surface.

Choose a road surface by use, not just length

A long ranch entrance may carry pickups, horse trailers, delivery trucks or equipment. Chip seal may be suitable for a prepared lower-speed road; hot mix asphalt offers a smoother surface and generally better resistance to concentrated turning movements. Asphalt near buildings and chip seal along a long road is one option, not a rule.

Price base and drainage before surfacing

On a Parker County private-road scope, note soft spots after rain, edge erosion and drainage crossings. Road width, staging space and hauling distance also affect production. A surface-only price is incomplete if the road needs grading, base replacement or culvert work; confirm which work is included and which needs a separate contractor or design.

• Provide road length, width and traffic information
• Identify drainage crossings and wet areas
• Discuss passing points, entrance tie-ins and closure needs
