Melissa sits in Collin County about 55 miles west of our Sulphur Springs base, and it's one of the faster-growing towns in Northeast Texas, with new subdivisions, commercial pads, and farm properties going up between the older county roads. Area Wide Paving travels out to Melissa for asphalt paving, parking lot construction, overlays, patching, sealcoating, striping, chip seal, and driveway work, bringing the same crew and equipment we run on jobs across the region.
New construction is a big part of what we see in Melissa. Builders and property owners putting in commercial lots need base work and asphalt laid to hold up under regular traffic, and we handle that from the ground up. For existing driveways and lots that have started to crack or rut, we offer overlays and patching rather than a full tear-out, which keeps costs down when the base underneath is still sound. We also do chip seal for longer gravel or farm entrances, which is common on the properties still holding onto acreage at the edges of town as Melissa continues to fill in.
Melissa's growth has brought it close to McKinney (8.6 miles) and Allen (14 miles), and it sits near Celina (13.9 miles) and Princeton (6.4 miles) as well, all part of the same Collin County corridor seeing similar development pressure. That means more commercial parking lots, more subdivision streets, and more driveways going in on a regular basis, along with older pavement in the original parts of town that's due for maintenance. Texas heat and the clay-heavy soils common to this part of Collin County both take a toll on asphalt over time, which is why sealcoating and timely patching matter here as much as the initial paving job.
When you call us for a Melissa property, we'll talk through the scope of the job, whether it's a new commercial lot, a driveway that needs an overlay, or striping work for a parking area. We look at the size of the job, the condition of the existing surface if there is one, and access for equipment before giving you a plan. Because we're based out of Sulphur Springs, we schedule Melissa jobs in advance so we can make the trip efficient, but that doesn't change the quality of the work once we're on site. We handle both small residential driveways and larger commercial paving projects, so the approach is tailored to what the property actually needs.
