Commercial Asphalt Repair in Johnson County, TX

For commercial asphalt repair Johnson County TX property managers need, C & D Commercial Services has been fixing pavement since 1981. Johnson County sits south of Fort Worth, with Cleburne as the county seat. The county has a split character. Cleburne is an established city with a historic downtown and commercial corridors along US-67 and SH-174. The northern part of the county, including Joshua and the Burleson area, is growing rapidly as Fort Worth expands southward along IH-35W. Alvarado sits along IH-35W with commercial properties that serve highway traffic. Godley, Keene, and Rio Vista are smaller communities with local commercial development.

C & D has been working in Johnson County for decades. We have repaired lots in downtown Cleburne near the courthouse square, commercial properties along the US-67 and SH-174 corridors, growing developments in Joshua, and highway corridor properties in Alvarado. The mix of established properties and growth areas means we handle both restoration of older pavement and maintenance of new asphalt.

Johnson County commercial lots fall into two categories. Cleburne and the established communities have older pavement with the kind of damage that comes from age and Texas weather. Cracks from years of temperature cycles, potholes where water has penetrated the base, oxidation that has turned the asphalt gray and brittle. For these properties, we use full-depth saw-cut repair for potholes and base failures, crack sealing for the network of age cracks, and sealcoating to protect the remaining surface. The historic downtown Cleburne lots have compact dimensions that require narrower equipment.

The growth areas in Joshua, the Burleson fringe, and along the IH-35W corridor in Alvarado have newer commercial development. New asphalt needs sealcoating within 90 to 120 days of installation to protect against UV oxidation. It also needs crack sealing as it goes through its first temperature cycles. We work with property managers in these new developments to establish maintenance schedules from the start, because preventative maintenance on new pavement is far less expensive than repairing damage that has been ignored for years.

Johnson County also has industrial properties along the US-67 and SH-174 corridors that handle truck traffic. Semi-trucks create stress on asphalt that standard commercial traffic does not. For these properties, we use heavy-duty hot-mix and full-depth repair methods. The base compaction is critical. If the base has been compressed by truck traffic, a new surface will fail just as quickly as the old one. We repair the base before installing new asphalt.

The expansive clay soils throughout Johnson County are the root cause of most asphalt damage. The clay expands when wet and contracts when dry, moving the base and creating cracks. Water enters those cracks, erodes the base, and the surface collapses into a pothole. We address the underlying cause, not just the surface damage.

We start with a comprehensive site inspection. We walk the property, document every crack, pothole, depression, and drainage issue. For industrial properties, we check for base compression from truck traffic. For new developments, we check base compaction and surface curing. For downtown Cleburne lots, we assess the constraints of the historic district.

For potholes and base failures, we use full-depth saw-cutting. We cut clean lines around the damage, excavate to the base, repair or replace the base rock, and install fresh hot-mix asphalt with professional compaction. For industrial lots, we use a heavy-duty mix. For downtown lots, we use narrower equipment to work within tight dimensions.

For surface damage, we use infrared patching. The infrared heater softens the existing asphalt, we add fresh hot-mix, and compact. For cracks, we use hot-applied rubberized crack sealant heated to 350 degrees that expands and contracts with temperature changes, keeping water out of the base.

For preventative maintenance, sealcoating protects against UV, water, and automotive fluids. For new asphalt, the first sealcoat should be applied within 90 to 120 days. For established lots, every 2 to 3 years.

In Johnson County, preventative maintenance schedules should be tailored to the property location and type. Established lots in Cleburne need annual crack sealing to prevent water intrusion into the aging base. Sealcoating every 2 to 3 years protects the remaining surface. Downtown Cleburne properties may need more frequent attention due to the compact dimensions and older surfaces.

New developments in Joshua and the Burleson fringe need their first sealcoat within 4 months of installation, then every 2 to 3 years. We recommend a pavement inspection within the first year to identify any base compaction issues from construction.

Industrial properties along US-67 and SH-174 need semi-annual inspections because truck traffic damage progresses fast. We recommend crack sealing every 12 months for industrial properties and sealcoating every 2 years with a heavy-duty or sand-filled sealer.

For all properties, crack sealing is the most important maintenance task. Water entering cracks erodes the base, and base failure is what turns a crack into a pothole.

We do not list prices on a website because every lot is different. Size of the repair, severity of the damage, whether it is a surface patch or a full-depth fix, whether we need to address drainage or base issues underneath. What we can tell you is that we have been buying hot-mix asphalt and repair materials from the same DFW suppliers for over 40 years. Those relationships mean our material costs are lower than most competitors, and we pass that along. Property managers who compare our quotes typically find we come in lower.
