Because we sit on top of some of the most difficult soil in America (Expansive Clay) and we deal with surface temperatures that can reach 140\u00b0F in August.\n    <\/p>\n    <p>\n      In 2026, while the national average for asphalt is rising, Texas benefits from being close to the refineries (lower material transport cost). However, the <strong>preparation cost<\/strong> here is higher.
