TXST Paving Company builds and rebuilds the roads the public works department does not touch: private roads, subdivision and HOA streets, ranch roads, RV park and storage yard drives, and the heavy duty surfaces that carry loaded trucks in and out of a yard every day. We are based at 3901 E University Ave in Georgetown and work across Williamson County, from Sun City and Berry Creek out to Jarrell, Liberty Hill, Hutto and Taylor.
Road work is different from a driveway. The section is thicker, the base is deeper, drainage is designed instead of hoped for, and the grade has to hold up under a concrete truck or a fifth wheel trailer, not just a pickup. This page covers what we build, how the four related services fit together, and how to choose between chip seal and hot mix for a long private road.

Road Construction in Georgetown, explained
What Road Construction Covers
Most of the road calls we get in Georgetown fall into one of five buckets.
Each of these starts with the same question: what is under the road now, and what will drive on it? The answer sets the base depth, the asphalt thickness, and whether we recommend hot mix asphalt or a chip seal surface.
02Road Construction Services in Georgetown
New construction is only part of the work. Most existing roads and lots need one of the four services below, and we handle all of them with our own crews and equipment.
Asphalt Resurfacing
When the base is sound and the surface is oxidized, cracked or worn, an overlay of new hot mix over the existing pavement is the most cost effective fix. We lay a leveling course where the road has rutted, apply tack coat so the new lift bonds, and hold curb reveal where there is curb. See asphalt resurfacing in Georgetown.
Parking Lot Repair
Potholes, alligator cracking in the drive aisles, sunken drain inlets and edge failures. We tell you which spots are surface patches and which need full depth base repair, then blend the repair into the surrounding lot. See parking lot repair in Georgetown.
Asphalt Milling
Cold planing removes a set depth of old asphalt so the new lift goes down at the same elevation as the curbs, gutters and storm drains. It is the first step of a mill and overlay and the right move when a road has been overlaid before. See asphalt milling in Georgetown.
Speed Bump Installation
Asphalt speed bumps, speed humps and speed tables for HOA streets, apartment drives and school loops, built to a profile that slows traffic without wrecking suspensions, with the striping and signage to go with them. See speed bump installation in Georgetown.
Building Roads on Williamson County Ground
Georgetown sits on a line. West of I-35 the ground is shallow limestone and caliche, which drains well and makes a firm platform. East of I-35, through the Westinghouse Rd corridor toward Hutto and Taylor, the Blackland Prairie takes over. Houston Black clay shrinks hard in a summer drought and swells after a wet spring, and a road built directly on it heaves at the edges and cracks down the middle within a few seasons.
That changes how we build.
Hard freezes like February 2021 and January 2024 open existing cracks wider, but they are not the main enemy. Heat, sun and clay movement are, and a road built for those three will handle a freeze.
Chip Seal or Hot Mix for a Private Road
The most common question from ranch and acreage owners between Georgetown, Liberty Hill and Salado is whether to chip seal or pave with hot mix. Both are real roads. They are built for different budgets and traffic.
| Factor | Chip seal | Hot mix asphalt |
|---|---|---|
| Surface | Asphalt emulsion with a layer of rock rolled in, textured | Dense, smooth, plant mixed asphalt |
| Best for | Long ranch roads, light traffic, gravel upgrades | HOA streets, RV parks, truck yards, anything with turning loads |
| Upfront cost | Lower per square yard | Higher per square yard |
| Service life | Shorter, expect to reseal on a cycle | Longer, with sealcoating and crack filling |
| Loose rock | Some for the first weeks, sweeping required | None |
| Trailer turns and power steering | Can scuff and ravel | Handles them |
| Base requirement | Still needs a compacted base, no shortcut | Compacted flexible base, thicker for heavy loads |
Our rule: if the road is mostly straight, mostly cars and pickups, and long enough that hot mix stretches the budget, chip seal over a proper base is a good road. If trailers turn on it, trucks load on it, or it is a neighborhood street where people walk and kids ride bikes, hot mix is the better long term buy. We will price both if you ask.
How a Road Project Runs
Roads open to light traffic once the mat has cooled. Heavy loads wait longer. We schedule with the HOA or park manager so residents know what is closed and when.

Road Construction questions, answered
How thick does a private road need to be?
It depends on the traffic and the soil, not a single number. A ranch road for pickups on limestone needs less base than a truck yard on Blackland clay. We size the base and asphalt from what will actually drive on it, and we dig a test hole first so the estimate reflects the ground you have, not a guess.
Can you pave over my existing gravel road?
Often, yes. If the gravel has been there for years and is well compacted, it can serve as part of the base. We regrade it, add and compact new flexible base where it is thin, fix the drainage, then pave with hot mix or chip seal. Loose, muddy or rutted gravel gets reworked before anything goes on top.
Do HOA streets need a city permit?
Private streets owned by the association usually do not need a City of Georgetown paving permit, but every community is different and utility locates are always required before we dig. We check with the city and the HOA's management company during the estimate so there are no surprises on the schedule.
How soon can we drive on a new asphalt road?
Cars and light trucks can usually use it once the mat has cooled, often the same day. We ask that heavy trucks, trailers and anything with power steering turning in place stay off for a longer period while the asphalt hardens, especially in summer heat. We give you specific timing for your project.
Do you build culverts and low water crossings?
Yes. Drainage is part of every road we build. Our excavation crew sets culverts, shapes bar ditches and swales, and builds up low water crossings so spring and fall storms pass under or over the road instead of washing out the base. Standing water is the fastest way to lose a road in Central Texas.
Not sure which of these you need?
That is what the free site visit is for. We look at the pavement and tell you what it actually needs.
