From Coal Camp to Suburb
Asphalt paving in Frederick covers an old town center and a large ring of newer homes. Frederick had 2,467 residents in 2000, 8,679 in 2010 and 14,513 in 2020, with an estimate of 17,676 by 2023. Most of that growth is in subdivisions whose driveways are now old enough to need resurfacing or base repairs, while the older blocks near the original town site have narrower, older drives.
Coal history
Frederick began as a coal mining town, first named McKissick after the mine owner, and drew immigrants from Italy, France, Greece, Turkey, several Slavic countries and Latin America. The daughters of landowner Frederick A. Clark laid out the town site in 1907 and named it for their father, and the town was incorporated December 26, 1907. The Frederick coal mine closed in 1960.
The Tri-Towns
Frederick, Firestone and Dacono are known together as the Tri-Towns, and the wider area as Carbon Valley. Frederick borders Firestone to the north and Dacono to the south, with Longmont to the west and Fort Lupton to the east. Unincorporated Evanston lies within the town's boundaries.
What we see on Frederick driveways
- Surfaces faded to gray after years without a sealcoat
- Long cracks running along edges where lawns stay wet
- Settling at the garage joint
- Alligator cracking in the wheel paths of older drives
The first two are maintenance. The last two mean base repair. We show you which is which before quoting.
Costs
HomeGuide lists new asphalt driveways at about $5 to $12 or more per square foot, resurfacing at $3 to $7 and sealing at $1 to $2. Angi lists removal and replacement at $8 to $15. Your written estimate breaks each part out so you can see where the money goes.
Commercial and HOA work
Newer Frederick neighborhoods include HOA pool lots, trailheads and small commercial centers. We quote crack sealing, sealcoating, patching and restriping for those lots, with accessible spaces laid out to the 2010 ADA Standards when lines are repainted.
Timing
Paving runs from late spring through early fall, when the ground is warm enough for hot asphalt to compact. Crack sealing is best done before the first hard freeze.
Ground conditions
Frederick sits at 4,938 feet in Weld County. Clay soils, irrigated lawns and freeze-thaw are the main enemies of pavement here, and a good base with proper drainage is the main defense. Call (970) 717-1592 or

Frederick Questions
Is my Frederick driveway worth sealing?
If it is still flat and firm with only small cracks, yes. Sealing and crack work slow aging. If it has alligator cracking or settling, repair comes first.
Do you work in Evanston and the older parts of town?
Yes. Older drives near the original town site often need full replacement rather than patching.
How long does a driveway replacement take?
Most residential replacements take one to three days of work, plus curing time before heavy use.
Do you serve Firestone and Dacono too?
Yes, we work across the Carbon Valley.
When should I schedule crack sealing?
Late summer or early fall, before freeze-thaw season, when cracks are open and the weather is dry.
Do HOAs in Frederick need written scopes?
Many do. We provide written scopes with materials so you can submit them for review.
What thickness should a Frederick driveway be?
A common residential build is 2 to 3 inches of asphalt over 6 to 8 inches of base, more for trucks and trailers. We set it to how the driveway is used.
