Asphalt Paving in Northeast Heights, Albuquerque

Local Context

Established homes, mid-life driveways

The Northeast Heights — the area generally bounded by I-25 to the west, Tramway to the east, Montgomery to the south, and Paseo del Norte to the north — is Albuquerque's largest residential zone. Most homes here were built between 1960 and 2000, which means a lot of driveways are now hitting the 25–40-year mark. That's exactly when they go from "minor cracks" to "needs replacement" if they were never sealcoated.

The terrain slopes gently up toward the Sandia foothills, so most driveways here have a slight uphill or sideways grade. That matters for water management — monsoon runoff can undermine an asphalt slab if drainage wasn't planned. Subsoil tends to be a mix of caliche and decomposed granite — generally good for drainage but unforgiving if base prep is skipped.
