Mainstay Hurst Asphalt Paving serves Arlington, TX with parking lot paving, driveway installation, sealcoating, and crack sealing - built for the Blackland Prairie clay soil and Texas heat that determine how long any asphalt surface lasts here, with one-business-day response on every estimate request.
Arlington has major commercial corridors along Collins Street, Division Street, and Cooper Street where retail centers and service businesses need parking lots that hold up under daily traffic. The Blackland Prairie clay under these lots shifts every season, so base preparation is critical to a long-lasting surface. See the full details of our parking lot paving services.
A large portion of Arlington's single-family homes were built in the 1960s through 1980s, and many of those driveways are now 40 to 60 years old. When a driveway reaches the end of its service life, a new asphalt surface on a properly prepared base handles clay-soil movement at a lower installed cost than most concrete alternatives.
Arlington summers push into the upper 90s and beyond, and that heat degrades asphalt binder faster than in cooler climates. Sealcoating every two to three years is the single most cost-effective step Arlington property owners can take to protect a paved surface and delay full replacement.
Cracks in Arlington driveways and parking lots rarely stay small on their own - the clay soil keeps moving and working them wider each season. Filling cracks before water can enter and reach the base prevents the kind of subbase softening that turns a minor repair into a full-depth replacement.
Arlington sits on relatively flat Blackland Prairie terrain where clay soil drains slowly. Low spots in parking lots and driveways pond water after heavy rain, and standing water is one of the fastest ways to shorten asphalt life. Proper grading and drainage channel work protects the pavement investment over the long term.
Commercial properties near AT&T Stadium, Globe Life Field, and the University of Texas at Arlington see heavy foot and vehicle traffic that wears down striping quickly. We stripe, patch, and maintain parking lots to keep commercial surfaces safe, ADA-compliant, and looking sharp.
Arlington grew rapidly from the 1950s through the 1990s, and most of its single-family housing stock was built during that stretch. Homes from the 1960s and 1970s sit on concrete slab foundations placed directly on Blackland Prairie clay soil - the same expansive clay that has been cracking driveways, shifting fence posts, and undermining flatwork across the city for decades. Driveways on those properties are now 40 to 60 years old, and many are well past the point where patching makes sense. The demand for paving work in Arlington is driven heavily by this aging housing stock, and the city provides a consistent base of replacement and repair work year after year.
Blackland Prairie clay swells when wet and contracts when dry, and North Texas gets both - wet springs followed by blistering dry summers. That annual cycle puts constant upward and lateral pressure on any paved surface sitting over it. Mature trees in Arlington's older neighborhoods add a second layer of challenge, because established live oak and cedar elm root systems can grow under driveways and parking aprons over many years, lifting and cracking the surface from below. A contractor working in Arlington regularly learns to anticipate these site conditions rather than just fix the surface damage they create.
Our crew works throughout Arlington regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect asphalt paving work here. Commercial projects in the city that change impervious cover or connect to a public street typically require coordination with Arlington Development Services for permits. Arlington sits on flat Blackland Prairie terrain, and that topography means drainage planning matters on almost every paving job - low spots in parking lots and driveways accumulate standing water after the heavy spring rains that move through this part of Tarrant County. We factor that into base prep and grading on every project.
The city is laid out along major corridors like Collins Street (Highway 360), Division Street, and Interstate 20 on the south side - landmarks that divide Arlington into north, central, and south sections with noticeably different housing ages and commercial densities. Whether a project is in a neighborhood near the University of Texas at Arlington, out toward Lake Arlington on the west side, or in the older subdivisions off I-20, we know how the terrain and soil conditions vary across those zones. We also serve neighboring Hurst, TX to the northwest and Fort Worth, TX to the west, so customers near any of those city lines can reach us easily.

(682) 628-2440Arlington sits in the center of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, in Tarrant County, with a population well over 350,000. The city is home to AT&T Stadium - home of the NFL Dallas Cowboys - and Globe Life Field, home of the MLB Texas Rangers, both located in the same entertainment district near the city center. The University of Texas at Arlington anchors the central part of the city with tens of thousands of students and staff. Arlington is not a suburb in the traditional sense - it has its own city government, its own commercial fabric, and well-established neighborhoods that have been home to the same families for generations.
The city grew rapidly from the 1950s through the 1990s, which means most of its residential neighborhoods are now mature, with large trees, aging infrastructure, and housing stock that ranges from modest ranch-style homes to larger brick-veneer houses built in the 1980s and 1990s. Lake Arlington sits in the western part of the city, serving as a local water supply and recreation area. The flat Blackland Prairie terrain that covers most of Arlington makes drainage a constant consideration for homeowners and commercial property owners alike. We also serve nearby Fort Worth to the west, so customers on that side of Arlington have easy access to our crew.
