Paving in the Nebraska Panhandle

Paving contractors in Kimball work just across the state line in the Nebraska Panhandle. Kimball is the Kimball County seat, at about 4,725 feet, with Interstate 80 running just south of town, US 30 running east-west through it and Nebraska Highway 71 running north-south. The city calls itself the High Point of Nebraska because the state's highest point, Panorama Point at 5,424 feet, is about 33 miles away.

Railroad origins

Kimball began around 1870 as Antelopeville when the Union Pacific was extended to the site. It was renamed in 1885 for railroad official Thomas Lord Kimball and incorporated in 1888. The 2020 census counted 2,290 residents.

Oil, gas and truck traffic

Several small oil and gas producers are based in Kimball. Yards and lots that serve that work carry heavy trucks and equipment. HomeGuide recommends 4 inches or more of asphalt for commercial use, and large yards often use compacted recycled asphalt with hot-mix where trucks turn. Angi lists millings at $3 to $8 per square foot installed.

Climate

Kimball sits on the line between humid continental and cool semi-arid climates. Its 1991 to 2020 normals show about 15.83 inches of precipitation and 29.8 inches of snow a year, less snow than Cheyenne, but chinook winds and cold nights still produce plenty of freeze-thaw. It has recorded 110 degrees and 36 below.

Homes

Kimball's driveways range from older homes near the rail line to newer ones on the edges. Where patches keep failing, we rebuild the base. Sound driveways benefit from crack sealing and a sealcoat every few years.

Different state, different rules

Nebraska and Kimball County have their own permit and access rules. We confirm current requirements for work at the street or highway before scheduling.
