What's Included

What a driveway
from Area Wide
actually includes.

No "premium upgrades" that show up after the contract. Every quote breaks the work into the line items below — and you pay for exactly what's on the paper.

i.

Site evaluation by the owner

Paul walks the property personally. Drainage. Soil composition. Sub-grade condition. Access. Documented in writing before the quote.

ii.

Engineered sub-base

4–6 inches of compacted crushed stone, graded for drainage. The difference between a 5-year driveway and a 20-year one.

iii.

2-inch Type-D hot-mix asphalt

Texas DOT-spec hot-mix asphalt, placed fresh, rolled to compaction spec, temperature-monitored. No corners cut on density.

iv.

Clean edges & transitions

Edge feathering. Clean tie-ins to existing concrete, garage thresholds, or street. Debris removed. Site left ready.

v.

Final walk-through with Paul

You sign off. Not assume off. Anything not right gets made right before the final invoice.

Paul came out personally, walked the property, wrote a quote the same evening. Crew showed up exactly when promised. The work looked better than we expected.

Driveway Replacement · Mt. Pleasant
Paul could've sold us a full replacement, but told us the existing surface had years of life left if we sealed it properly. Saved us thousands. Honest people are hard to find.

New Driveway · Tyler
Six contractors quoted our property. Area Wide wasn't the cheapest, but came in with the most detailed itemized scope. Two years in and the driveway still looks the day it was finished.

Questions, answered.

The same questions every homeowner asks before calling. Read first if you want — then call when you're ready.

i.
How much does an asphalt driveway cost in Northeast Texas?
Asphalt driveways in Northeast Texas typically run $3 to $7 per square foot for a properly installed surface over a compacted 6-inch crushed stone base. A standard 600–800 sq ft residential driveway costs between $2,400 and $5,600 depending on soil conditions, site access, and sub-base requirements. Paul provides an itemized written quote inside 24 hours of the site visit.
ii.
How long does an asphalt driveway last in East Texas?
Properly installed asphalt driveways in East Texas last 15 to 20 years with regular maintenance. Sealcoating every 3 to 5 years protects the surface from UV damage, oil staining, and the freeze-thaw cycles common in the region. The difference between a 5-year driveway and a 20-year one is almost always sub-base preparation, not the asphalt itself.
iii.
How long does the installation take?
Most residential driveways are completed in 2 days — one day for sub-base prep and grading, one day for asphalt placement and compaction. The surface needs 24 to 72 hours to cure before vehicle traffic, depending on temperature. We schedule around your work week.
iv.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Area Wide Paving is fully licensed, bonded, and insured in Texas. A certificate of insurance is provided with every written quote — no need to ask, it's standard.
v.
What areas do you serve?
We serve an 80-mile radius from Sulphur Springs, Texas. That covers Sulphur Springs, Tyler, Longview, Paris, Texarkana, Mount Pleasant, Greenville, Marshall, and the surrounding communities across 12 Northeast Texas counties: Hopkins, Hunt, Smith, Gregg, Lamar, Wood, Camp, Bowie, Franklin, Harrison, Titus, and Morris.
vi.
Do you provide a written quote?
Yes. Paul walks every property personally and provides a written, itemized quote within 24 hours of the site visit. Quotes break down sub-base, materials, labor, and finishing line by line — no padding, no surprises, no "premium upgrades" that materialize after the contract is signed.
vii.
Why is Area Wide different?
Owner Paul Pogue is on every single jobsite. No phantom owners. No subcontracted crews you've never met. No salespeople who vanish once the contract is signed. You meet Paul at the estimate. You see Paul when the trucks arrive. And if anything ever needs to be made right, you call Paul — not a corporate office in another state.
