Asphalt Driveway Paving & Installation
New driveway paving with a full base built for Summerlin's expansive desert soil, not a thin overlay poured straight onto native dirt.
Driveway PavingMojave summer sun and monsoon runoff both work on an unprotected driveway. We build a base and a surface that hold up to both, not a generic paving job dropped into a desert market.
Driveway paving, sealcoating, crack repair, and resurfacing across Summerlin, from The Ridges to The Trails. We check for caliche before we quote a base, price the job flat in writing, and build the ARC approval timeline into the schedule instead of leaving it to you.
Takes about 15-20 minutes on site, no obligation to book.
Full-depth base install, mid-jobSame caliche-aware, heat-aware process on every job, from a full new driveway to a single crack sealed before monsoon season.

Driveway PavingA UV-resistant seal coat that slows down what 160-degree summer pavement temperatures do to an unprotected driveway.
SealcoatingHot-pour crack sealing before monsoon season, so a hairline crack doesn't become a washout the first time it rains an inch in an hour.
Crack RepairA full overlay or mill-and-repave for a driveway that's aging into failure range, most common on Summerlin's original 1990s tracts.
Resurfacing & RepairSummer air temperatures in the Las Vegas Valley regularly climb past 100°F, and on a dark, unprotected driveway that translates to pavement surface temperatures between 135°F and 160°F on a summer afternoon. That heat oxidizes the asphalt binder, drying it out and making it brittle years faster than on a sealed, maintained surface.
Underneath the heat problem is a soil problem. A lot of Summerlin lots sit on caliche, a calcium-carbonate hardpan common across the Mojave Desert that can run from a few inches to several feet deep. Caliche is hard when dry but holds and moves water sideways when wet, which is exactly the wrong property to build a driveway base on top of without identifying it first. We check for it on every estimate, not after a driveway starts failing.
Then there's monsoon season, June 15 through September 30, with the heaviest storms typically hitting mid-July through late August. Southern Nevada can see half an inch to two inches of rain in under an hour during a major event, and desert soil doesn't absorb that kind of volume quickly. An open crack or a poorly graded driveway apron is exactly where that runoff finds its way into the base.

The right approach to a driveway depends on when the village was built and what's under it. Here's how that plays out across a few Summerlin areas we work in often.
The Trails, The Hills, The Arbors, and The Pines were part of Summerlin's original master-planned wave in the early 1990s, which means over 30 years of maturity and a lot of driveways now well into or past the typical 15-25 year useful life of residential asphalt. Most of what we install in these villages is resurfacing, not new construction.
The Ridges sits along the edge of Red Rock Canyon on larger custom-home lots with less mature shade cover than Summerlin's older villages, meaning more direct sun on the driveway most of the day. Paving work here also runs through village-level ARC review on top of the master design standards, which we build into the schedule from the start.
Villages like Redpoint and Stonebridge broke ground in 2020 as part of Summerlin's western expansion, built to current drainage and construction standards. Newer doesn't mean the caliche question goes away, we still check the base on every estimate, it just usually comes back more predictable on recently graded ground.
From The Ridges' custom-home lots to The Trails' original 1990s tracts, and everywhere Summerlin West is still building.
New install or resurfacing, we check the base before quoting depth. Skipping this is the #1 reason a driveway rebuild fails early on Mojave desert ground.
A real estimate, a real number in writing, before we excavate anything. No "starting at" bait.
Most Summerlin villages require written ARC approval before paving work begins. We plan the schedule around that instead of treating it as your problem to manage alone.
Asphalt placement and rolling are timed to the day's actual surface temperature, not a fixed calendar schedule that ignores a 160-degree summer afternoon.
Free on-site estimate, a caliche check built in, and a real written price before anything gets excavated.
