Paving at the State Line
Asphalt paving in Greenwood serves a town that grew from a few hundred people to a few thousand in two decades. Greenwood, about 15 miles west of downtown Shreveport in southern Caddo Parish, had 212 residents in 1970, 1,043 in 1980 and 2,092 in 1990. It reached 3,219 in 2010 and was 3,166 in 2020. Most homes are on larger lots, many with long driveways.
Highway frontage
US Routes 79 and 80, Greenwood Road, run through the center of town, and Interstate 20 crosses the northern part with exits 3 and 5. The town calls itself the Gateway to Louisiana. Properties along US 79/80 connect to a federal highway, so any driveway work in that right-of-way falls under Louisiana DOTD's access connection permit, including culvert size and the driveway width.
Long drives, wide lots
At about 9 square miles for roughly 3,000 people, Greenwood is spread out. Long driveways need a firm base along the whole length, edge support, and a crown or cross slope so rain runs off the sides. We can pave a full drive or start with the stretch nearest the house.
Higher ground
At about 276 feet, Greenwood is higher than the Red River lowlands. Drainage is easier in many spots, but slopes bring runoff across driveways, and that needs to be planned for.
Commercial work near the interstate
Businesses near the I-20 exits deal with truck traffic and turning loads. We build heavier sections where trucks travel and repair failing areas in existing lots.
Costs on larger lots
Long drives and wide turnarounds add square footage fast. A 1,000-square-foot drive runs about $5,000 to $12,000 in HomeGuide's national figures, and many Greenwood properties are well past that. Reusing an existing gravel base, paving the most-used section first and keeping the width practical are the main ways to control the cost.
Turnarounds and parking pads
On rural lots, a turnaround or parking area near the house saves backing out onto Greenwood Road or a busy parish road. We build those with the same base and thickness as the drive, and slope them so water does not collect at the garage.

Greenwood Questions
Do I need a permit for a driveway on Greenwood Road?
Greenwood Road is US 79/80, so Louisiana DOTD's access connection permit covers work in that right-of-way. The property owner applies.
Can you pave a long drive in sections?
Yes. We leave a clean edge so the next section joins without a weak seam.
Do you pave truck areas?
Yes. Truck lanes and loading areas get a heavier base and thicker asphalt.
Can you add a turnaround to my driveway?
Yes. A paved turnaround is a common add-on on rural lots, built on the same base as the drive.
