Asphalt Paving in Tanglewilde, WA

Asphalt paving in Tanglewilde is mostly about older driveways. The community first showed up in the 1970 census as Thompson Place-Tanglewilde, and it has been a settled neighborhood for decades since. It is an unincorporated census-designated place of about 1.4 square miles, surrounded by Lacey and inside Lacey's urban growth area, with Martin Way running through the middle and Interstate 5 along its northern edge. The 2020 census counted 6,265 residents, up from 5,892 in 2010.

Signs your driveway has reached the end

A driveway that has been through several decades of wet winters often shows it: cracks that link into a web, edges crumbling into the lawn, potholes that reopen each winter, and moss in the low spots where water sits. When those problems cover most of the surface, the base is usually gone, and a new driveway on fresh, compacted rock is the lasting fix. When the cracks are narrow and the surface is firm, sealing and an overlay may be enough.

Trees, shade and moss

Many Tanglewilde lots have mature trees. Shade keeps pavement damp for days after a rain, which feeds moss and holds water in cracks. Roots can lift and split edges. We look at where roots run and how the sun hits the driveway before recommending a fix, and we suggest simple upkeep, like clearing needles and sealing cracks each fall, that makes a real difference in shaded spots.

County roads and permits

Because Tanglewilde is unincorporated, roads here are generally under Thurston County rather than a city. The county calls adding or relocating a driveway that connects to a county road an encroachment, and work in county right-of-way needs an Encroachment Permit from Public Works. If you are only repaving inside your property line, that usually does not apply. If you want to widen the apron or add a second entrance, we check with the county first.
