Driveway Repair in Piedmont, OK, for Long Acreage Drives

Piedmont stayed a small farm-market town until the 1970s, when it became a bedroom community for Oklahoma City and grew sharply as State Highway 3, the Northwest Expressway, was extended toward it. Most of that growth came on acreage, so a typical Piedmont driveway is a few hundred feet of asphalt or chip seal running from a county road to a house set well back, often with a concrete pad or a short concrete apron at the garage. Long asphalt drives fail in predictable places: the edges, where nothing holds up the side of the pavement; the wheel paths, where alligator cracking starts once water reaches the base; and the crossing at the road, where the drive goes over a culvert and storm flow cuts around the pipe. We repair them in sections with full-depth patches, edge rebuilds and hot-pour crack fill, priced per patch so the worst stretch can be done first, then sealcoat once the surface is sound.

Piedmont also has a recent rebuild. On May 24, 2011, an EF5 tornado destroyed about 180 homes in and around the city. Homes rebuilt in the years after, and the drives poured with them, are now around 15 years old, with concrete aprons and garage pads beginning to settle over disturbed ground. Where those concrete sections have dropped, foam leveling or a doweled panel replacement fixes them without touching the asphalt run. Because many Piedmont lots sit outside city limits, permits for work at the road can involve the county rather than the city, and we confirm which applies before scheduling.
