Asphalt Paving in Windsor Heights, IA

Asphalt paving in Windsor Heights is almost entirely replacement and repair. Windsor Heights incorporated on July 19, 1941, and in 1958 annexed the Crestwood area, adding roughly 1,300 people. It covers about 1.44 square miles and is completely surrounded: Urbandale to the north, Clive to the west, West Des Moines to the south and Des Moines to the east. With no room to grow outward, the population has stayed steady, at 4,805 in 2000 and 5,252 in 2020.

Older driveways

Most homes in Windsor Heights were built in the decades after incorporation. Driveways that old have usually been patched, sealed or overlaid at least once. We look at the base, check for alligator cracking and heave, and measure heights at the garage and walk before recommending repair, resurfacing or replacement.

Tight lots

Lots in established inner suburbs are often narrower than in newer subdivisions, with less room to stage equipment and trucks. We plan access at the estimate, use smaller equipment where needed and keep the street clear.

Water

Flat or slightly sloped older lots often have drainage that was never quite right. Downspouts empty onto the driveway, the garage end holds water, or runoff from the neighbor's yard crosses the pavement. A replacement is a chance to fix that with grading and slope.

Interstate 235

I-235 runs through the far south of the city. Homes near busy roads deal with more road salt and grit tracked onto driveways in winter, which wears sealer faster. Sealing every few years helps.

Our approach

We visit, measure, check drainage, and give you a written quote with removal, base, thickness and edges listed separately. If the job reaches the curb or approach, we confirm the city's requirements before scheduling.

Maintenance

For driveways in decent shape, crack filling in late summer and a sealcoat every few years will keep them going much longer. We price those separately so you can choose.

The Crestwood area

The Crestwood area joined Windsor Heights in 1958. Homes there and in the original town are of similar age, and their driveways often show the same issues: worn surfaces, cracks reflecting through old overlays, and low garage ends. Removal and a fresh base often make more sense than another overlay.

Neighbors and scheduling

On small lots, neighbors notice when work is happening. We keep equipment off lawns, clean up daily and give you a schedule you can share with the people next door.
