Paving Contractors in Bel Aire, KS

For paving contractors in Bel Aire, the work is mostly about homes that people have put real money into. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $238,100, about 81.8% of homes are owner-occupied, and the median household income is $97,795 (Census ACS, 2020-2024). Homeowners here notice a faded, cracked driveway, and they want new pavement with straight edges, even color and no puddles. That is the standard we work to.

A suburb still filling in

Bel Aire has grown quickly. The 2020 Census counted 8,262 residents, and the July 2025 estimate is 10,287, roughly a quarter more in five years. About one in five residents had moved into their home within the past year. That much new construction means plenty of fresh driveways, and the first few years decide how long they last.

Caring for a newer asphalt driveway

• Let it cure before the first sealcoat. New asphalt needs time for its oils to settle. Sealing too early can trap them. We tell you when your driveway is ready.
• Avoid sharp turns in place. Turning the steering wheel while parked can scuff soft new asphalt, especially in hot weather.
• Spread out heavy loads. Trailer jacks, dumpster rollers and motorcycle kickstands can dent fresh pavement; a board underneath helps.
• Seal cracks early. Small cracks are cheap to seal. Left open over winter, they widen.

Replacing builder-installed driveways

Some driveways put in during a rush of construction were built thinner than ideal or over a base that was not fully compacted. Signs include sinking near the garage, cracks along the edges, and water pooling in the same spots. When that happens, we remove the failed section, rebuild the base and repave it so it ties cleanly into the rest of the driveway.

Water and grading

Bel Aire sits on the north side of the East Fork of Chisholm Creek, in the Wellington-McPherson Lowlands of the Great Plains, at an elevation of about 1,394 feet. The land is gentle, which means water does not always know where to go. A driveway that is a little too flat, or that slopes back toward the garage, will hold water, and standing water speeds up both freeze damage and base failure. We check the fall of the land on every job and set the grade so runoff moves toward the street or yard, not the house.

A city with its own history

Bel Aire started in January 1955, when residents petitioned the county to create an improvement district for water. It became a city on November 26, 1980, after a two-year legal dispute with Wichita that the Kansas Supreme Court decided in Bel Aire's favor. Today Wichita borders it on the south and west and Kechi on the north. Bel Aire runs its own city government, so questions about work at the street, such as approach or curb changes, go to the City of Bel Aire rather than Wichita.
