Paving Contractors in Goddard, KS

Goddard is a young, family-heavy town, and the work paving contractors do in Goddard is shaped by that. The 2020 census put the median age at 32.5 and the average household size at 3.3, and Census estimates show 79.1% of homes are owner-occupied. More people per home tends to mean more cars, more teen drivers, basketball hoops and bikes, and driveways that take daily wear.

Our work here centers on three goals: build the driveway strong enough for real traffic, keep water off it and out of it, and maintain it on a schedule so it lasts.

Wider and stronger

A two-car driveway that was fine when a home was new can feel tight once a family has three or four vehicles. Common Goddard requests:

• Widening along one or both sides for extra parking
• A side pad for a camper, boat or work trailer
• Rebuilding the apron where heavy vehicles turn in
• A basketball area or play surface tied into the drive

Any area that will carry a trailer or pickup gets a thicker base than a walking path would. We tell you the depth in writing so you know what you are paying for.

Maintenance beats replacement

Asphalt is a flexible pavement held together by a binder that slowly dries out from sun exposure. Around Wichita, roughly 65 days a year reach 90 degrees or more. Sealcoating replaces that protective layer, and crack sealing keeps water out before winter freezes, which typically arrive between late October and early April. For a driveway in fair shape, a sealcoat every few years and crack filling as needed is often far cheaper than a new surface ten years early.

Lots along the highway

U.S. Route 54 and U.S. Route 400 run together east-west through Goddard, and they carry the traffic that keeps businesses along the corridor busy. Nearby destinations such as Tanganyika Wildlife Park, Blast Off Bay Water Park and the Genesis Sports Complex area draw visitors from across the region. Retail, restaurant and office lots in this kind of setting need regular patching, sealcoating and crisp line striping so traffic flows safely on a busy weekend.

Permits through the city

Goddard is one of the small cities whose building inspections and plan review are handled under contract by Sedgwick County's Metropolitan Area Building and Construction Department, but permitting starts with the city. For driveway approaches or work that reaches the street, check with Goddard City Hall first. We supply drawings and scope details on request.

Storm-tested ground

Goddard was hit by an F4 tornado on June 23, 1969, and spring storms remain part of life here. Heavy rain is the bigger day-to-day threat to pavement. Each driveway we build has a slope that sheds water away from the garage and foundation.
