Lavon sits on the shore of Lake Lavon in Collin County, a growing community of roughly 7,495 people that has seen steady residential and commercial development in recent years. Area Wide Paving serves Lavon from our base in Sulphur Springs, about 48 miles to the west, bringing asphalt paving, parking lot construction, overlays, patching, sealcoating, striping, chip seal and driveway paving to property owners throughout the area. We do not keep a yard or staff in Lavon, but we regularly work this corner of Collin County and the towns around it.
Lavon's growth means more driveways, subdivision streets, and commercial lots that need new asphalt or repair work. We build parking lots for new commercial construction, lay driveways for homes on larger lots near the lake, and handle overlays on aging pavement that's starting to crack or rut. Farm entrances are common in this part of Collin County too, and we grade and pave those the same way we would a commercial approach, with attention to drainage so water doesn't pool at the gate. Pothole and pavement patching keeps existing lots and drives usable between larger repaving jobs, and sealcoating and striping round out the maintenance side once asphalt is down.
Lavon sits close enough to Wylie (under 5 miles), Rowlett (about 10 miles), Garland (nearly 14 miles) and Allen (about 15 miles) that a lot of the traffic and commercial activity in town connects to those neighboring cities. That means parking lots and access roads here often see a mix of local and pass-through traffic, which affects how asphalt holds up over time. Lake Lavon itself brings seasonal visitor traffic to marinas, parks and nearby businesses, adding wear to lots that might otherwise see lighter use. We take that kind of local traffic pattern into account when we're scoping a paving or overlay job, since it affects base preparation and asphalt thickness decisions.
When we come out to a Lavon property, we look at the existing surface or subgrade, talk through what the lot or driveway needs to hold up to, and give a straightforward estimate based on that. For new construction or full replacement, that means proper base work before any asphalt goes down. For overlays and patching, we assess how much of the existing pavement is salvageable versus what needs to come out. Sealcoating and striping jobs are usually quicker turnarounds, done once the surface is prepped and weather cooperates. We explain the process as we go so there aren't surprises about timeline or what the finished job will look like.
If you're planning a new parking lot, need a driveway paved, or have a stretch of asphalt in Lavon that's past due for an overlay or patch work, call Area Wide Paving at (903) 885-6388. We'll talk through the scope of the job and schedule a time to take a look at the property.
