Paving Contractors in Newton, KS

Most driveway jobs paving contractors take on in Newton touch the city's right-of-way at some point. The strip between your driveway and the street, the drive approach, usually sits on public land, and the City of Newton lists a Right-of-Way Permit that covers drives, sidewalks and excavation. When a project includes a new or rebuilt approach, we account for that permit in the plan and the schedule. The rest of the driveway, from the property line to the garage, is where most of the paving happens.

Built for a wide temperature range

Newton's 1991 to 2020 climate normals show January lows averaging 20.3 degrees and July highs averaging 92.0 degrees, with recorded extremes from minus 28 to 117. Asphalt has to handle that whole range. In summer the surface softens and can scuff under turning tires; in winter, water in cracks freezes and pries them wider. Annual precipitation averages 33.77 inches, and snowfall about 8.8 inches, mostly from December through February. Those numbers are why we push crack sealing in the fall and ask customers to avoid sharp, stationary steering on a brand-new surface during hot weeks.

Sand Creek and your runoff

Newton runs a stormwater program built around keeping Sand Creek clean, and its rules list violations such as dumping anything into a storm drain, ditch or creek, connecting wash water to storm drains, and leaving excessive dirt or mud on roadways from construction sites. On a paving job, that shapes how we work: we keep millings and base rock off the street, sweep at the end of each day, and keep sealcoat material and wash water away from curb inlets. You should expect the same care from anyone working at your property.

Timing with the city's street work

Newton's Street Division maintains almost 150 lane miles. The city divides its street network into seven areas and works one area each year, and pavements over 20 years old are considered for slurry seal, with a new treatment about every seven years. Before slurry seal, crews seal cracks, fix potholes and replace poor curb and gutter. If your street is due for that work, it can make sense to replace your approach at the same time or shortly after the curb is redone, so the joint between your drive and the gutter is clean.

A rail and small-manufacturing town

Newton became the Santa Fe's railhead for the Chisholm Trail in 1872, and BNSF remains a large industrial taxpayer. Harvey County is described as an agricultural and small-manufacturing county, and the Newton City/County Airport, a former World War II naval air station two miles east of town, has a 7,002-foot runway. The businesses that grow up around rail, farming, manufacturing and aviation need yards and lots that hold up to heavy vehicles. We design those with thicker sections where trucks turn and stop.
