Asphalt Paving in Roy, WA

Asphalt paving in Roy is rural work. Roy is a small town in Pierce County, incorporated on January 16, 1908, covering less than half a square mile at about 331 feet. It counted 816 residents in 2020. The area around it is ranch-style homes and farms, and the Roy Pioneer Rodeo draws riders and spectators from several states and Canada.

Ranch and farm driveways

Many properties around Roy have long gravel driveways that carry trucks, trailers and farm equipment. Paving them takes a thicker section than a city driveway. Cost guides put heavier-duty builds at 3 to 4 inches of asphalt over 8 to 10 inches of base. We regrade the existing gravel, add and compact crushed rock, and pave to the thickness that fits what you drive.

Prairie ground

The Roy area sits on South Puget Sound prairie land, much of which formed on glacial outwash of sand and gravel. That ground generally drains well and supports a good base, though it needs careful compaction and edge support so it does not ravel.

Paving in stages

On a long drive, paving the whole length at once can be a large investment. Many owners start with the apron at the road and the area near the house or barn, and pave the middle later. We quote it either way.

Small-town history

A 1929 fire destroyed most of Roy's downtown businesses. Today's small commercial lots and church lots need patching, sealing and striping more than full rebuilds.

Permits

If your driveway connects to a public road, check with the City of Roy or Pierce County before changing it. We raise the question at the estimate.

What a rural estimate covers

We walk the drive, measure it, check where water crosses or collects, and look at culverts and ditches along the route. The written quote lists grading, base rock, asphalt thickness and any culvert or edge work as separate lines.
