Asphalt Paving in Sandia Park, NM

High-elevation paving near the Crest road

Sandia Park sits along NM-14 near the turnoff for NM-536, the road up toward Sandia Crest, at elevations above 7,000 feet. Properties range from homes tucked into the trees to foothill subdivisions with shared private roads. Winters here are longer and snowier than in Edgewood, and freeze-thaw cycles run well into spring.

Shared and private roads

Many Sandia Park homes are reached by private roads that the county doesn't maintain. These roads take a beating from snowplows, construction traffic and monsoon runoff. We pave, chip seal and maintain shared roads, and we can break estimates down by section or by lot so neighbors can split the cost. Learn more on our private road paving page.

Driveways built for altitude

• Deeper, better-drained base to resist frost heave
• Hot-mix asphalt on grades where gravel would wash out
• Crowned and cross-sloped surfaces that move meltwater off quickly
• Compacted edges that hold up to plow blades
• Turnarounds and parking pads carved out of sloped lots

Shorter season, plan ahead

At this elevation, cool nights linger into late spring and return early in the fall, which narrows the window for hot-mix paving and sealcoating. If you're planning a project for the coming year, get your estimate early so we can schedule during the warmest stretch.
