Paving in a Town That Nearly Tripled

Asphalt paving in Granger is mostly about newer homes. Granger incorporated as a city on September 6, 1905, and lies in both Dallas and Polk counties at 892 feet, with Beaver Creek flowing near the town site. It had 583 residents in 2000, 1,244 in 2010 and 1,654 in 2020, an increase of 184 percent. Most of its driveways were built in the last twenty-five years.

Settlement on new lots

Fast growth means lots of new construction, and new construction means backfill that keeps settling. The usual signs are a dip near the garage or a crack across the driveway over a utility line. We cut out the low area, rebuild the base on compacted stone and patch it level.

Near Beaver Creek

Lots closer to Beaver Creek and its low ground can have wetter soil. On those, we use more base and slope the surface to move water off.

Schools

Most Granger children attend the Woodward-Granger district, which has its elementary school in Granger; part of town is in the Johnston district. School lots are best paved and striped in summer.

Extensions

Families add cars and trailers. We extend driveways on the same base depth as the original so the new section does not settle differently.

Maintenance on young driveways

Fill cracks the first fall they show up
Sealcoat once the asphalt has cured, then every few years
Keep downspout and sump discharge off the pavement

Our approach

We visit, measure, look at drainage and give you a written quote. If the work reaches the street, we check the city's requirements first.

The water towers

Granger has three water towers, two older ones labeled hot and cold. Older homes near the original town site have driveways that have seen many winters, and some are ready for replacement. Newer homes on the edges mostly need maintenance.

Group scheduling

In a small town, grouping several homes on one day lowers costs. If neighbors need sealing or crack filling too, let us know.

Church and community lots

When a church or community lot changes use, it usually needs patching, sealing and new striping to fit the new layout.
