Paving on the Wyoming-Nebraska Line

Paving contractors in Pine Bluffs work in farm country. The town sits on the Nebraska state line in eastern Laramie County at about 5,049 feet, a thousand feet lower than Cheyenne. Driveways, farm shop pads, grain and equipment yards and a handful of business lots make up most of the work here.

Railroad and cattle history

The Union Pacific reached Pine Bluffs in 1868 with the first transcontinental railroad. The spot was first known as Rock Ranch, and railroad officials renamed it for the pines on the nearby bluffs. It became a cattle shipping station and was called the Frontier Crossroads. The town has held steady for a century: 1,121 residents in 1960, 1,153 in 2000 and 1,172 in 2020.

Climate

Pine Bluffs has a semi-arid climate with about 15.59 inches of precipitation a year, wettest from May through July. It has recorded 109 degrees and 38 below. Asphalt here has to handle hot summer sun and hard cold, with a freeze-thaw season that runs through spring.

Shops, yards and heavy loads

Farm and ranch properties need pavement that carries trucks, trailers and equipment. HomeGuide recommends 3 to 4 inches of asphalt over 8 to 10 inches of base for heavier vehicles, and 4 inches or more for commercial use. Large yards are often surfaced with compacted recycled asphalt, which Angi lists at $3 to $8 per square foot installed, with hot-mix where trucks turn and park.

Homes in town

Most homes in Pine Bluffs are older, and many driveways have been patched for years. If patches keep failing, the base is gone and replacement with a new compacted base is the lasting fix. Newer or well-kept driveways need crack sealing and a sealcoat every few years.

Drainage on flat ground

The land around Pine Bluffs is flat, and water stays where it lands unless the pavement is shaped to move it. We set slope on every driveway and pad so water runs off, and we keep shop door aprons from ponding and freezing.

Distance and scheduling

Pine Bluffs is about 40 miles east of Cheyenne on I-80. We group work in eastern Laramie County where we can and include haul distance in the written estimate.

What owners here usually ask for

We see driveway replacements on older homes, new shop and grain bin aprons, equipment yards surfaced with millings, and small lots for businesses near the highway.

Pine Bluffs Questions

Can you build a shop pad for farm equipment?

Yes, with a heavier base and asphalt section, or compacted millings with hot-mix at the doors.

Does distance from Cheyenne add cost?

Haul distance is part of the price, and we include it in the written estimate.

My old driveway keeps cracking in the same spots. Why?

The base under those spots has failed. Replacing the base stops the cycle.

How do you keep water from ponding at my shop door?

We slope the apron away from the building so water drains instead of freezing at the door.

When is the best time to pave here?

Late spring through early fall, when the ground is warm.
