By Hobbs Paving · Asphalt paving, sealcoating & striping in Hobbs, NM
A well-built asphalt driveway in Hobbs can last 20 years or more — but only if it's installed right and maintained. Here's what determines whether you get two decades or fall short.
Most driveways that fail early weren't built on a properly graded, compacted base. In Lea County soils, cutting corners on the foundation leads to settling and cracking within a few years. A good contractor spends as much care below the surface as on top of it.
Two simple habits add years: sealcoating every 2–3 years and filling cracks as soon as they appear. Both keep water and UV out of the asphalt and base — the two things that destroy driveways here.
Surface cracking and fading usually just need sealing or an overlay. Deep, alligator-style cracking or major settling means the base has failed and it's time to replace. Not sure which you have? We'll tell you honestly with a free assessment.
