Keeping Pace With a Growing Maize

Few towns near Wichita have grown like Maize, and the work for paving contractors in Maize reflects that pace. The 2020 census counted 5,735 residents, up 67.7% from 3,420 in 2010, and the Census Bureau's 2025 estimate is 7,853. New streets and new rooftops bring a steady need for driveways, parking areas and the upkeep that keeps them from wearing out early.

Owners and renters in near-equal numbers. One detail makes Maize different from most of its neighbors: Census estimates put the owner-occupied rate at just 50.6%. Roughly half of homes are rented. That means a lot of our work here is for property owners and managers who need durable, low-maintenance surfaces for duplexes, townhomes and apartment parking, not just single-family driveways.

The permit question. The City of Maize lists driveway and approach work, and any work in the right-of-way, including streets and sidewalks, among projects that generally require a permit. If you are not sure whether your project qualifies, the city asks you to contact it before starting. We include this in our planning and can provide the measurements and a written description the city may want.

For homeowners in newer subdivisions. Builders sometimes deliver a minimal driveway, or a lot owner wants to widen for a third car or add a pad for a boat or trailer. We cut clean joints where new asphalt meets old, compact the base under the extension to match, and keep slope consistent so water does not collect at the seam.

For rental and multifamily properties. Parking surfaces at rentals take more wear from more vehicles and more turnover. Services we offer to property managers in Maize:

New parking lot paving and expansions
Pothole and failed-area patching between tenants
Crack sealing and sealcoating on a planned rotation
Line striping, handicap stalls and fire-lane markings
Written condition notes you can use for budgeting

Aviation next door. Maize Airport, a privately owned airport open to public use, sits about two miles southeast of downtown, and Wichita's aviation employers are a short commute away; Census data puts the average commute for Maize workers at 18.4 minutes. Hangar aprons, shop yards and employee lots around this corridor take heavier loads than a home driveway, and we size the base and asphalt thickness for the vehicles that will actually use them.

Built for local weather. Kansas summers can top 100 degrees and winters bring freeze-thaw cycles. Proper compaction and a sound base help asphalt resist rutting in heat and cracking in cold. A sealcoat a few months after paving helps protect the surface from sun and water.

What it costs. Price depends on area, base condition, thickness and access. Expect a written quote with each part listed, from excavation to striping. Call (316) 448-2179 or

Maize Numbers Worth Knowing

Rapid growth. Maize grew from 3,420 residents in 2010 to 5,735 in 2020, a 67.7% increase, and housing units rose from 1,284 to 2,289. The Census Bureau's 2025 estimate is 7,853.
Half rented, half owned. Census estimates for 2020 to 2024 show an owner-occupied housing rate of 50.6% and a median owner-occupied home value of $276,200, so rental properties make up a large share of local housing.
Driveways need a permit. The City of Maize lists driveway and approach work, plus work in the right-of-way such as streets and sidewalks, among projects that generally require a permit, and asks residents to contact the city if unsure.
Airport and rail. Maize Airport, privately owned and open to public use, lies about 2 miles southeast of the central business district. The Kansas and Oklahoma Railroad's Hutchinson line runs through the city.
Short commutes. Maize workers average an 18.4-minute commute, according to Census estimates, reflecting the city's position immediately northwest of Wichita along K-96.

Maize Questions

Does Maize require a permit for a new driveway or widening?

The city lists driveway and approach work among projects that generally require a permit. Contact the City of Maize at 316-722-7561 before work starts, and we will provide the dimensions and scope you need.

Can you sealcoat and restripe our rental property lot in one visit?

Yes, on most lots. We clean, fill cracks, apply sealcoat, let it dry, and then stripe. Sections can be done one at a time so tenants always have somewhere to park.

My builder-installed driveway is already cracking. What can be done?

It depends on why. Fine surface cracks can be sealed. Cracks with sinking or broken edges usually point to a weak base, which means cutting out and rebuilding that section. We will show you which you have.

Do you pave hangar aprons or shop yards near the airport?

We pave commercial and industrial areas, including aprons and yards that see heavy vehicles. Thickness and base depth are set by the loads you tell us about, and the quote spells them out.
