Driveways in a Wartime-Era Village
Asphalt paving in Dixie Inn is close-in residential work in one of the parish's smallest villages. Dixie Inn sits off Interstate 20 at the old Shreveport Road, about three miles west of Minden and 26 miles east of Shreveport, at about 141 feet of elevation. It had 293 residents in 2020 and was incorporated in 1956.
Older homes
Most of the village's original houses are reported to have been built during World War II for munitions workers at the former Louisiana Army Ammunition Plant off US 80. Driveways at homes that age often have little or no base, or have been resurfaced so many times they sit above the garage floor. We remove what needs to go and rebuild at the right height.
Low ground
At 141 feet, Dixie Inn is low compared with the surrounding area. Low, flat lots hold water, so slope and base depth matter.
US 80 and I-20
Properties connecting to US 80 or other state routes fall under a Louisiana DOTD access connection permit for work in the right-of-way.
Small jobs welcome
In a village this size, many jobs are single driveways, patches or parking pads. We handle those as well as larger replacements.
Costs
Angi lists driveway removal and replacement at about $8 to $15 per square foot nationally. For a typical single-car or narrow two-car drive, the total is usually in the low thousands. Removing several old layers adds some labor, but it is what lets the new surface sit at the right height.
Drainage on low lots
Because Dixie Inn sits low, we check where water goes during heavy rain. If it runs toward the garage, we change the slope; if it collects at the street, we look at the ditch and culvert.
Upkeep
Sealing every few years once the asphalt has cured, and filling cracks each fall, keeps a rebuilt driveway in good shape for years.
