Bonham sits about 45 miles northwest of our Sulphur Springs base, out in Fannin County, and we regularly bring our paving crews and equipment up this way to handle commercial lots, driveways, farm entrances and roadwork. With a population near 10,879, Bonham has a mix of downtown commercial buildings, county facilities, farm and ranch properties, and residential streets that all rely on solid asphalt to hold up under Northeast Texas weather and traffic.
Area Wide Paving handles the full range of asphalt work for Bonham property owners and businesses. That includes new asphalt paving for parking lots and driveways, asphalt overlays for pavement that's aged but not beyond saving, and pothole and pavement patching for smaller repair jobs. We also do sealcoating and striping to protect surfaces and keep parking lots looking clean and organized, along with chip seal work that's common on rural roads and long farm or ranch entrances around the Fannin County area.
Bonham and the surrounding Fannin County land see hot summers and freeze-thaw cycles in winter, both of which take a toll on asphalt over time. Clay-heavy soils common to this part of Texas can shift with moisture, which contributes to cracking and settling in lots and driveways that don't have a properly built base. We see this on everything from downtown Bonham commercial lots to farm entrances stretching out toward Leonard, about 14.5 miles away. Whether it's a municipal parking area, a retail lot, or a long gravel-to-asphalt farm drive, the base preparation and drainage planning matter as much as the surface material itself.
When we take on a job in Bonham, we look at the existing pavement or ground conditions first to figure out whether a full paving job, an overlay, or patch repair makes the most sense. For commercial properties, that often means scheduling work around business hours to minimize disruption. For farm and ranch entrances, we plan around field access and equipment traffic. Sealcoating and striping are usually done as a follow-up step once new asphalt has cured, or as routine maintenance on existing lots to extend their life and keep markings visible for customers and staff.
We serve Bonham from our base in Sulphur Springs, so we schedule visits in advance to assess the site, take measurements, and put together a plan for the work. Whether it's a small patching job, a full parking lot build, or overlay work on a stretch of road or driveway, we walk through the scope with the property owner before crews and equipment are sent out.
