Services
Asphalt Rubber Sealcoat
Our asphalt rubber sealcoat application creates durable, crack-resistant road surfaces. This specialized process improves water drainage and traction while reducing maintenance needs. Ideal for highway preservation projects, this service extends pavement life by 2-3 times compared to conventional methods. The rubber content enhances flexibility, preventing common cracking issues.
Asphalt Rubber Binder Mix
We produce state-approved asphalt rubber binder mix containing 17-22% recycled tire crumb. This innovative blend reduces asphalt oil usage while maintaining structural integrity. The binder layer improves road longevity through superior crack resistance and flexibility. Projects using this mix demonstrate significant long-term cost savings and environmental benefits.
Conventional Asphalt
Our traditional asphalt paving services complement specialized rubberized applications. This cost-effective solution meets standard specifications for road construction projects. While not containing recycled rubber, our conventional asphalt maintains high quality through precise material blending and professional application techniques.
Prime Contractor
As prime contractor, we manage complete paving projects from start to finish. This includes coordinating materials, equipment, and personnel for DOT-funded highway improvements. Our comprehensive approach ensures compliance with all specifications while maintaining project timelines and budget requirements.
Subcontractor
We provide specialized asphalt rubber services as subcontractor for major infrastructure projects. Our expertise in rubberized paving systems supports general contractors with proven solutions for noise reduction and pavement longevity. This collaborative approach maintains quality while meeting project-specific needs.

Questions
What is asphalt rubber paving?
Asphalt rubber paving combines hot asphalt oil with recycled tire crumb to create road surfaces that are safer, quieter, and longer-lasting than conventional asphalt.
How does asphalt rubber benefit the environment?
Our asphalt rubber process recycles 17-22% tire crumb per mix, diverting millions of scrap tires from landfills while reducing asphalt oil consumption by up to 50%.
What services do you offer?
We provide asphalt rubber sealcoat applications, binder mix production, and conventional paving services as prime or subcontractor for highway projects nationwide.
Why choose asphalt rubber over regular asphalt?
Asphalt rubber surfaces last twice as long, reduce traffic noise by 8+ decibels, and require half the material thickness for equivalent performance compared to traditional asphalt.
Do you work outside Texas?
While based in Texas, we've completed projects across the United States and consider qualified DOT-funded highway projects nationwide.
