College Station is the biggest city in the Brazos Valley, and it keeps adding pavement. The 2020 census counted 120,511 people here, and the 2024 estimate put it near 128,000. Around Texas A&M University the ground is already covered. The work there is apartment lots, rental house drives and tight back parking. South and west of campus it changes to subdivision driveways in Castlegate and Creek Meadows, then to acreage around Wellborn and Millican. The commercial pavement runs along University Drive, Texas Avenue South, Earl Rudder Freeway and Rock Prairie Road.
JEJ Asphalt & Concrete Recovery works out of North Zulch, up in Madison County. We come down Highway 21 and into town on Highway 6, about 30 road miles. Hot mix asphalt paving is the main work: new driveways, replacements and paving over packed gravel or road base. We also build commercial parking lots, chip seal long rural drives, sealcoat, fill cracks and patch failed pavement. Residential and commercial both. Call or text (979) 595-5944 and we will come out, look at the site and give you a free estimate.

The soil survey does not map College Station as one thing. On the south side, around Rock Prairie Road and Greens Prairie, the dominant soil is Tabor clay. Out along the Wellborn corridor it is Rader fine sandy loam, a milder and sandier ground. The survey's shrink and swell reading for that Tabor clay runs well above the Wellborn soils.
Clay is what moves pavement here. It swells when the rain comes and shrinks back in a dry summer. One NRCS soil series, the Zulch series, has its type location in Brazos County. Its official description records cracks half an inch to an inch and a half wide when the ground dries out.
So the base and the drainage decide how long a drive or a lot lasts. The Easterwood Field weather station averages about 40 inches of rain a year, and it comes in bursts. The same station records more than 100 days a year at or above 90 degrees. Water that stands at an edge works under the asphalt, and the heat finishes it. We grade for drainage first, then compact the base, then lay hot mix. That order is what keeps an asphalt driveway flat on this ground.
Commercial pavement in College Station sits on a handful of corridors. University Drive and Raymond Stotzer Parkway carry FM 60 east and west past the north side of campus. Earl Rudder Freeway is Highway 6, and its frontage roads hold most of the highway front retail. Texas Avenue South is the older strip beside it. Rock Prairie Road runs the medical and retail buildings on the south side.
The lots behind those fronts are the work. Restaurants, shops, churches, motels and offices all need a surface that takes daily traffic. Student housing and apartment lots take more than that, because the same stalls fill and empty every day. Business parks like Tower Point and the University Industrial Park hold bigger lots where trucks and trailers turn.
We build a heavier section where the trucks run and a lighter one where cars park. The work gets planned in phases with you, so part of the lot stays open while we pave the rest. After the asphalt cools, the lot is laid out and painted. Stalls, arrows, fire lanes and accessible spaces get marked to the Texas Accessibility Standards. The Justice Department's ADA guidance calls restriping a lot an alteration. So those spaces have to meet the current standards when the paint goes back down. Parking lot striping and sealcoating carry the surface from there.
It depends on the road your drive ties into, and College Station is split. Rock Prairie Road and Southwest Parkway carry no state highway number, so they are city streets. On those, the City of College Station issues the driveway permit through Planning and Development Services. The city also issues a right-of-way construction permit for work in the public right-of-way.
The big corridors belong to the state. University Drive (FM 60), Wellborn Road (FM 2154) and George Bush Drive (FM 2347) are state maintained. So are Texas Avenue (TX 6 Business), Earl Rudder Freeway (TX 6) and Harvey Road (TX 30). Harvey Mitchell Parkway (FM 2818) and William D. Fitch Parkway (SH 40) round out the list. A drive onto any of those is a TxDOT access driveway permit. That one goes through the Bryan District, and the city keeps the form on its own permit page.
Outside the city limits the county takes over. Brazos County Road and Bridge issues a right-of-way access permit for driveways, culverts and mailboxes. Whichever office it is, the road owner's driveway rules apply, and we build the drive to them. One more thing on the southwest side: TxDOT has a widening project in design for Wellborn Road, from William D. Fitch Parkway to Greens Prairie Road. TxDOT states the project would require additional right-of-way, so check that before you build a new drive on that stretch.
The 77845 ZIP is the other half of this town. It holds about 70,000 people spread over roughly 140 square miles, most of south Brazos County. Past Wellborn and Millican the lots get bigger and the driveways get longer. Acreage communities like Indian Lakes run drives that a feed truck or a gooseneck has to fit down.
On a long drive, hot mix is not always the right buy. Chip seal sprays liquid asphalt on a prepared base. Rock is spread over it and rolled in, in two or three courses. County and TxDOT crews call that same work seal coat. TxDOT's manual puts the average life of a seal coat at six to eight years. The same manual calls a surface treatment over a crushed stone base the least expensive permanent surface of its kind.
Private roads are their own question out here. Brazos County Road and Bridge says plainly that the county does not maintain a private road. That leaves the surface with the property owners or the POA that holds it. A shared road often gets split among several owners. We measure the whole road, so everybody is looking at the same estimate.
