Paving in Farmersville —
done once, done right.
Farmersville property owners have been calling the same Fresno number for asphalt paving for a long time — (559) 442-4105, ours since the flip-phone era. About 50 minutes southeast, and the crew that shows up is the one that gave you the number.
Farmersville is the compact working town between Visalia and Exeter on Highway 198, surrounded by the walnut and citrus ground that employs it.
Calls here are straightforward valley work: driveway repaves on the town grid, ag-yard patching and paving, and small commercial frontage along the highway.
A lot of Farmersville’s housing went in fast during the postwar decades, and the original driveways are on their last legs together. We often quote two or three neighbors in one visit and split the mobilization across them.
What we see in Farmersville: town-grid driveway repaves, ag-yard patching, and Highway 198 commercial frontage, all minutes from our Visalia-area routes. The route out is Highway 198 — a run our crews have made more times than anyone’s counted.
Paving in Farmersville
What the job includes.
Most paving that fails early around here fails from underneath. Clay that swells with every irrigation cycle, a skimped base, water with nowhere to go — the blacktop on top never had a chance. So when you hire us for a driveway, a lot, or a private road, you’re mostly hiring what we do to the ground first. Grading, base rock at a depth that matches your traffic, compaction in lifts — then, and only then, hot mix.
How we run a paving job.
Expect a plain-spoken visit: we walk the site, measure it, poke at the soft spots, and give you a written number with the section spec on it — base depth, mat thickness, drainage. If your old surface can carry an overlay we’ll offer that as the cheaper path; if it can’t, we’ll show you why rather than sell you two more years.

Paving questions
Asked before every
Farmersville job.
Overlay or full repave?
An overlay works when the base underneath is still sound — isolated cracking, no alligatored areas, no soft spots. If more than about a quarter of the surface shows base failure, overlay money is better spent on a rebuild. We tell you which side of the line you're on at the estimate.
How thick should driveway asphalt be?
For a passenger-car driveway in Valley soil, the honest spec is 2.5–3 inches of hot mix over 4–6 inches of compacted base. Trucks, RVs, or ag equipment need more section — that's a conversation at the site walk, not a one-size answer.
Is Farmersville inside your normal service area?
Farmersville is about 50 minutes southeast, and we group jobs out that way into efficient runs. An estimate visit is typically scheduled within the week, and grouped routing keeps mobilization off your bill.
