Pavement on the South Platte
Asphalt paving in Evans starts with the river. The city lies along the South Platte River, just south of Greeley, at about 4,682 feet, and new commercial areas are spreading west and south of the river as the city grows. River-bottom ground holds water longer after storms, and pavement built on it needs a solid base and somewhere for the water to go.
A county seat, twice
Evans was settled in 1867 and named for John Evans, the second territorial governor of Colorado. It served as Weld County seat from 1870 to 1874 and again from 1875 to 1877, before Greeley took the title for good. The city was incorporated on November 15, 1885, the same day as Greeley and Longmont.
Growth
Evans counted 9,514 people in 2000, 18,537 in 2010 and 22,165 in 2020. Much of that growth came in subdivisions whose driveways are now 15 to 25 years old, which is about when sealing and crack work can no longer hold off base problems. We look at each driveway and recommend maintenance, resurfacing or replacement based on what we find.
US 85 and 23rd Avenue
The main commercial areas are on US 85 just south of its junction with US 34, along with corridors on 23rd Avenue and 37th Street. Truck traffic on US 85 and turning traffic into lots wear asphalt fast at entrances. Full-depth repairs and thicker sections at driveways and drive lanes hold up better than surface patches.
Costs to plan for
HomeGuide lists new asphalt driveways at roughly $5 to $12 or more per square foot, resurfacing at about $3 to $7, and sealing at $1 to $2. For a 20-year-old Evans driveway, the choice between those numbers depends on what we find under the surface. We dig test spots when needed and show you the base.
River-bottom drainage
Where a lot sits low, we look at whether water can leave the driveway at all. Sometimes a small swale along the side or regrading the lawn edge is what keeps the new asphalt dry. That work goes on the quote as its own line so you can see it.
Commercial maintenance
Retail lots along US 85 and 23rd Avenue benefit from annual crack sealing and a sealcoat and restripe every few years.
What to watch for
- Standing water after rain, especially near the river
- Alligator cracking in wheel paths
- Edges breaking off where the driveway meets the lawn
- Gaps opening at the garage slab
Each of these points to water and base problems that are cheaper to fix early. Call (970) 717-1592 or

Evans Questions
Does living near the South Platte affect my driveway?
Lower ground near the river tends to stay wetter, which softens the base. We probe for soft areas and plan drainage before paving.
My Evans driveway is about 20 years old. Resurface or replace?
If the base is sound and the surface is just worn, resurfacing works. Widespread alligator cracking or heaving usually means replacement.
Do you pave lots along US 85?
Yes. We build heavier sections at entrances and drive lanes to handle truck and turning traffic.
Do you sealcoat in Evans?
Yes, on sound asphalt, after cleaning and crack filling, in dry weather between about 50 and 95 degrees.
How much does resurfacing cost?
HomeGuide lists driveway resurfacing at about $3 to $7 per square foot. Base repairs before the overlay add to that.
Do you work in both older and newer parts of Evans?
Yes. Older drives near the original town often need replacement; newer subdivision drives west and south mostly need sealing and crack work.
