Serving Hurst, TX and surrounding areas. (682) 628-2440
Mainstay Hurst Asphalt Paving serves Richland Hills, TX with asphalt repair, driveway paving, pothole patching, and sealcoating. We have worked throughout the Mid-Cities area since 2015 and understand the clay-soil conditions that make proper subbase preparation essential for any repair to last here.
Richland Hills driveways from the 1950s and 1960s have been through decades of clay-soil movement and summer heat, and many now show cracking, settling, or soft spots that have moved past the point of basic filling. We diagnose the cause before we repair the surface. Learn more about our asphalt repair work.
Potholes in Richland Hills driveways and private roads typically form when water infiltrates through surface cracks and weakens the base - a cycle accelerated by the clay soil's constant moisture changes. Left alone, a single pothole grows quickly and puts vehicles and pedestrians at risk.
The DFW sun oxidizes and dries out asphalt binder faster than in cooler climates. Sealcoating every two to three years is the most affordable way to keep Richland Hills driveways from cracking prematurely and to extend the time before full replacement is needed.
In a city where most homes sit on shifting clay soil, cracks in a driveway do not stay small. Sealing them promptly blocks water from reaching the subbase and triggering the deeper failure that leads to full-depth crumbling, which is a common end-state for neglected Richland Hills driveways.
When a Richland Hills driveway is too far gone for repair, a properly prepared replacement on a compacted base will serve the property for 15 to 20 years. Resurfacing is also an option for driveways where the base is still sound but the surface has deteriorated.
Flat lots in Richland Hills's older subdivisions often have drainage problems that accelerate pavement failure. Correcting how water flows away from the driveway and structure protects both the asphalt investment and the home's foundation from the moisture fluctuations that Tarrant County clay soils amplify.
Richland Hills is one of the smaller cities in Tarrant County, covering just over three square miles, and it is fully built out with no room for outward growth. Almost all of its housing stock was constructed between the late 1940s and the 1970s. That means the city is full of driveways, parking areas, and concrete flatwork that have been absorbing decades of Texas summers, spring rains, and the constant movement of the clay soil underneath. Repair demand here comes from aging infrastructure, not new construction.
The expansive clay soils found throughout Tarrant County are the single biggest factor in how asphalt ages in Richland Hills. The soil swells when wet and contracts when dry, creating pressure from below that cracks and shifts pavement over time. On homes built before modern base-preparation standards were common, the original compaction and drainage design may have been minimal - which means repairs need to address the base, not just the surface, to have any lasting effect.
Our crew works throughout Richland Hills regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect asphalt paving work here. The city sits along the State Highway 183 (Airport Freeway) corridor, which is the main access route both for residents and for contractors reaching properties throughout the city. Most residential streets branch off into quieter neighborhoods of post-war brick homes on modest lots.
We serve Richland Hills alongside its immediate neighbors. Many of our Richland Hills customers are close to the border with North Richland Hills, TX, a larger Mid-Cities community where we also work regularly. Homeowners in the neighborhoods near Birdville ISD schools and Link Plaza are familiar territory for us, and we know the housing age and property types that are typical on those streets.
Reach out by phone or through our contact form and we will respond within one business day. We can usually schedule a Richland Hills property visit within the same week. Estimates are free.
We come to the property, look at the surface, probe the base, and check drainage. This step tells us whether repair will hold or whether replacement is the better value - and we give you a written price before any crew is dispatched.
The crew handles saw-cutting, base correction, and any drainage work before applying new material. Skipping this step is how cheap repairs fail within a season on Richland Hills clay soil.
We walk the finished job with you before leaving and confirm when the surface is ready for traffic. Most repairs can handle light vehicle use within 24 to 48 hours under normal Texas temperatures.

With around 8,500 to 9,000 residents, it is one of the more compact communities in the area, and its boundaries are fully built out. The housing stock is almost entirely residential, consisting of single-story and one-and-a-half-story brick homes built primarily between the late 1940s and the 1970s. Most properties are owner-occupied and have the typical mid-century footprint: a front yard, a concrete driveway, and a fenced backyard. The city is served by the Birdville Independent School District, which is a strong marker of local identity for longtime residents.
Community life in Richland Hills centers around Link Plaza and The Link Event and Recreation Center, the city's main gathering space. Highway 183 (Airport Freeway) runs through the area and provides the main commercial spine, with residential neighborhoods tucked behind it. Richland Hills is surrounded by Hurst, TX to the east, Haltom City to the west, and North Richland Hills, TX to the north - all communities where we work regularly as part of serving the wider Mid-Cities area.
