Rural Drives Near the Red River
Asphalt paving in Hosston is rural work in a very small village. Hosston is in northern Caddo Parish, about 3 miles west of the Red River and 1 mile east of Black Bayou Lake, at about 197 feet of elevation. It had 244 residents in 2020, and most properties around it are farms and rural homes with long drives.
Two highways
U.S. Route 71 runs through the center of the village, 28 miles south to Shreveport and 9 miles north to the Arkansas line at Ida, and Louisiana Highway 2 runs west to Vivian and east to Plain Dealing. Village Hall sits where they meet. Driveways connecting to US 71 or LA 2 need a Louisiana DOTD access connection permit for work in the right-of-way, including the culvert.
Low ground between river and lake
With the Red River to the east and Black Bayou Lake to the west, much of the land near Hosston is low. Long drives across low ground need a raised, well-compacted base and a crown so water drains to the sides.
Gravel conversions and farm lanes
We regrade and reuse sound gravel, add stone where it is thin and pave to a thickness that suits trucks and equipment.
Costs on rural drives
Rural drives are priced by length, width and base condition. HomeGuide's national range of $5 to $12 or more per square foot applies, but reusing sound gravel and paving in phases can make a long drive manageable.
Heavy loads
Farm trucks and equipment need a heavier section. We add base depth and asphalt thickness where loads travel and turn.
Upkeep
Once paved, sealing every few years and filling cracks in the fall keep the drive tight. Keeping ditches and culverts clear is just as important on low ground.
