Paving Contractors in Torrington, WY

Paving contractors in Torrington work in the irrigated North Platte valley. The city sits on the banks of the North Platte River at about 4,104 feet, roughly 2,000 feet lower than Cheyenne, and it is the Goshen County seat. It averages about 13.84 inches of precipitation a year and has recorded 111 degrees and 43 below. River ground, irrigated fields and heavy farm traffic shape what a lasting driveway or lot needs here.

Farm and livestock town

Torrington was founded around 1900 by W. G. Curtis and named for his hometown of Torrington, Connecticut. Holly Sugar opened a sugar beet factory here in 1926 that closed in 2019, and the Torrington Livestock Commission has held twice-weekly auctions since 1934. Eastern Wyoming College, a two-year community college, is also in town. The 2020 census counted 6,119 residents.

Truck traffic

Livestock trailers, grain trucks and farm equipment move through Torrington every week. Lots for auction barns, farm suppliers and processors need thick asphalt sections and full-depth repairs where wheel paths rut. HomeGuide recommends 4 inches or more of asphalt for commercial use, and HomeAdvisor lists commercial lots at $2 to $4.50 per square foot.

River and irrigated ground

Neighborhoods near the North Platte and properties next to irrigated fields sit on ground that holds water. We dig out soft subgrade, build thicker base where needed and shape pavement to drain. Where driveways cross ditches, culverts must be sized for the flow.

Homes

Torrington's housing ranges from older homes near downtown to newer ones on the edges. Older driveways that keep cracking usually need a rebuilt base. Newer driveways benefit most from crack sealing before winter and a sealcoat every few years.

Longer season

The lower elevation usually gives Torrington more warm paving days than Cheyenne, but freeze-thaw still runs through spring. We schedule hot-mix work for warm ground and sealcoat for dry, mild days.

Scheduling

Torrington is about 85 miles northeast of Cheyenne. We include travel in the estimate and group Goshen County work when we can.

What owners here usually ask for

We see driveway replacements, heavy-duty repairs on truck and auction-barn lots, culverted ditch crossings and crack sealing and sealcoating for homes and businesses.
