Paving Between the Poudre and the South Platte

Asphalt paving in Greeley has a shorter working season than most of the Front Range. The city's first freeze typically arrives around October 4 and the last around May 4, and its records run from 112 degrees down to 25 below. Average snowfall is lighter, about 34.9 inches, but the long cold stretch on the plains means more freeze-thaw nights each spring and fall. Paving and sealing have to fit into the warm months.

Permits and the new license

In Greeley, work in the public right-of-way is handled as a Public Space permit through the city's eTrakit portal, and contractors doing construction work in public space need a business license and a contractor's license. The city has also announced that, starting January 1, 2027, all applicable trades must hold a City of Greeley contractor license before permits are issued. We keep track of the current requirements and tell you at the estimate whether your driveway or lot reaches the right-of-way.

Two rivers

The Cache la Poudre River flows through north Greeley, and the South Platte bounds the Greeley and Evans area to the south. Neighborhoods near both rivers sit on lower ground where water lingers after storms and spring melt. We look closely at base and drainage on those lots.

A big commercial base

Greeley's largest employer is JBS USA, with 5,141 employees as of 2023, and the University of Northern Colorado employs 1,221. US 34 and US 85 carry heavy truck traffic through the city. Lots for industrial, retail, church and multifamily properties need sections built for that traffic, full-depth repairs where wheel paths have rutted, and ADA-compliant striping.

Older neighborhoods

Greeley was founded in 1869 as the Union Colony and incorporated in 1885, and older blocks near downtown and the university have alleys, narrow drives and pavement that has been patched many times. Often the right answer is to remove and rebuild rather than patch again. We explain the options and costs side by side.

Fitting the work into the season

With the average last freeze around May 4 and the first around October 4, most Greeley paving fits between May and September. Crack sealing works best in late summer or early fall, when cracks are open and the weather is dry. Sealcoating needs dry days above about 50 degrees. We book the work so each step falls in its window.

Greeley Questions

When is paving season in Greeley?

Roughly May through September, since the average last freeze is around May 4 and the first around October 4. Hot asphalt needs warm ground to compact.

What changes for Greeley permits in 2027?

From January 1, 2027, contractors must hold a City of Greeley contractor license before permits are issued. We check current licensing before any right-of-way work.

Do you pave industrial and truck lots?

Yes. We build thicker sections for truck traffic and use full-depth repairs where ruts and base failure show up.

Should I patch or replace my old alley driveway?

If it has been patched repeatedly and keeps failing, the base is usually gone. Replacing it costs more once but stops the cycle.

Do you restripe lots to ADA rules in Greeley?

Yes. Restriping triggers the 2010 ADA Standards for accessible parking counts and layout, and we lay out the required spaces and aisles.

Do you work in neighborhoods near UNC?

Yes. Older blocks near the university often have narrow drives and alleys that need rebuilding, and rental owners often want written scopes for budgeting.

How much does a driveway cost in Greeley?

Published ranges put new asphalt driveways at about $5 to $12 or more per square foot (HomeGuide). Removal and base work add to that. We give a written price after seeing the site.
