Paving Contractors in Winfield, KS

Paving contractors in Winfield have to account for plenty of rain. Winfield averages about 40.7 inches of precipitation a year, and the city sits at the meeting point of the Walnut River and Timber Creek. Water is a major enemy of asphalt. When it soaks into the base, the pavement loses its support and starts to crack, sag and pothole. Every Winfield job we price starts with one question: where does the water go?

Slope, edges and outlets

A well-built driveway or lot sheds water to a planned spot: a yard, a swale, a curb line or an inlet. We set a consistent cross slope, avoid flat spots where puddles sit, and keep the finished surface below the garage floor or building entrance. Where a downspout dumps onto pavement, we suggest extending it so roof water does not run across the asphalt all season.

The city's stormwater rules

Winfield runs a Stormwater Utility, established in 1995, that maintains and improves the city drainage system and is funded by fees from residential and commercial customers. The city requires contractors to complete and submit a SWPPP (stormwater pollution prevention plan) form to its Environment Inspector before digging or building. We handle that paperwork as part of the job, and we keep millings, dust and tack material out of gutters and drainage ways while we work.

Aviation and industrial lots near Strother Field

Winfield's economy leans on manufacturing. GE Aviation began jet-engine work at Strother Field in 1951 and employed about 750 people as of 2017, and the airport's industrial park remains the area's main industrial site. Strother Field itself, jointly owned by Winfield and Arkansas City, runs on two asphalt runways. Business lots in and around that kind of operation carry employee traffic at shift change, delivery trucks and sometimes heavy equipment. For those sites we offer:

• Full-depth parking lot paving with heavier sections in drive aisles and truck routes
• Mill-and-overlay of worn lots to keep elevations at doors and loading docks
• Crack sealing and sealcoating on a maintenance schedule
• Line striping for stalls, arrows, crosswalks and accessible spaces

Homes on older streets

Winfield's street system includes 55 miles of asphalt, 11 of concrete, 7 of brick and 13 of gravel. Some of the older homes on brick or gravel streets have driveways that were patched many times over the years. We can remove a failed driveway down to the soil, rebuild the base and pave it new, or, where the base is still solid, patch and sealcoat it. About 64.7% of Winfield homes are owner-occupied, with a median value of $132,700, and we size the work to what makes sense for the property.
