Asphalt Paving and Repair in Franktown

Driveways near Castlewood Canyon

The land around Franktown drops toward Cherry Creek and Castlewood Canyon, so driveways here often have more grade change than the flatter lots east of Elizabeth. Slope affects how we build a drive. Water moves faster on a grade, and a drive that lacks a proper cross-slope or edge drainage will see the base wash out at the low end.

We also see a lot of older asphalt in Franktown that was placed decades ago when the lots were first built out. Those surfaces are candidates for either resurfacing or full replacement depending on how the base has held up, and we will give you an honest read on which makes sense after we look at it.

Permits in Douglas County

Franktown is in Douglas County, not Elbert County, so permit questions go to Douglas County rather than the Elbert County office in Kiowa. The general rule is similar: paving an existing private driveway on your own land usually does not require a permit, but a new or changed connection to a state highway or county road does. CO-86 and CO-83 are state highways, so an access change there involves the state as well.

We will tell you during the site visit whether your project appears to touch any right-of-way, and we will not start work in a right-of-way without the proper permit in hand.
