Paving in Cave Creek

Asphalt paving in Cave Creek means working with the desert, not against it. Cave Creek was settled in 1870 by soldiers from Fort McDowell, gold was found here in 1873, and the town incorporated in 1986. Its motto, adopted in 2013, is "Where the Wild West Lives." The town sits at about 2,553 feet, between Elephant Mountain and Black Mountain, with Cave Creek itself running through the west side of town.

Long drives and hillside lots

Many Cave Creek homes sit on larger desert parcels with long, sloped drives over rocky ground. Paving them means grading through rock and caliche, building a compacted base and shaping the surface to carry storm water off without eroding the desert around it.

Monsoon washes

Cave Creek gets more rain than the Valley floor, with August averaging about 1.8 inches during the July-to-September monsoon. Washes run fast. Drives that cross or run beside washes need protected edges, dips or culverts at crossings, and a plan for where the water goes.

Western-town lots

Cave Creek's restaurants, shops and historic sites draw visitors on weekends. Their lots need repair, sealing and striping that fit the town's character. We schedule work midweek.

Cooler and higher

July highs average about 102 degrees, cooler than Peoria. January lows average about 37 degrees. The cool season is a good time for sealcoating, with dry, clear days.

Common Cave Creek jobs

  • Long-drive paving and gravel conversions
  • Wash crossing and edge repairs
  • Crack sealing and sealcoating
  • Business lot repairs and striping

Pricing

National guides list new hot-mix asphalt at about $5 to $12 or more per square foot. Rocky, sloped desert drives can add excavation cost. Every quote is itemized.

Respecting the desert

Cave Creek residents value the natural desert. We limit disturbance to the work area, protect saguaros and native plants nearby, and keep pavement edges neat.

No bus service

Cave Creek is not part of Valley Metro, so nearly everyone drives. A good driveway and safe access matter more here than in towns with transit.

Timing

Cave Creek's elevation makes summer a bit milder than the Valley floor, but monsoon storms are stronger. Spring crack sealing and fall paving are ideal.

What we check

We look at slope, rock, caliche, washes and how storm water crosses the property. We also look at access for equipment on narrow desert roads.

Pricing

Rocky, sloped drives cost more to grade; long drives cost less per foot. Every quote lists each part of the job.

Staged paving

Long drives can be paved in stages, starting nearest the house.

Cave Creek Questions

Can you pave a steep desert drive?

Yes, with careful base work and drainage. Very steep grades may suit concrete better.

Do you need a town permit in Cave Creek?

Work at the public road or approach usually needs town approval. We confirm the Town of Cave Creek's requirements first.

Can you keep the natural desert look?

Yes. We keep edges clean and avoid disturbing desert beyond the work area.

How long does a desert drive take to pave?

Usually two to five days, depending on length, slope and rock.

When should I seal cracks in Cave Creek?

Any dry month works; spring, before the monsoon, is ideal.

Do you work in Carefree too?

Yes, on request, for nearby desert properties.

Can you repair a washed-out drive edge?

Yes, by rebuilding the edge and directing water away from it.

Do you pave business lots on Cave Creek Road?

Yes, scheduled midweek to avoid busy weekends.

Can neighbors share the cost of a private road?

Do you add berms to protect edges?

How long until I can use a new desert drive?
