Where the drive meets the road
Gholson sits where FM 933 and FM 1858 meet. Where a lot fronts a state highway, TxDOT has to sign off on any new or revised driveway through its Form 1058 access permit, which the owner or an authorized representative requests from the district office; McLennan County's is the Waco District. Right-of-way work can't begin until the signed permit arrives and TxDOT gets 24 hours' notice, so ask the district early whether the road at your lot is on its system.
Thickness and edges for heavier vehicles
Edges take heavy wheel loads with less soil support, so they can get an extra 1 to 2 inches of depth in a band 4 to 8 inches wide around the perimeter. A typical home driveway isn't engineered for a large moving van or construction equipment. Where new concrete meets an old slab or approach, the American Concrete Pavement Association calls for an isolation joint ½ to 1 inch wide, filled with a preformed joint filler.
For a patterned finish, see stamped drives in Gholson. The shop at the end of the drive is under slabs for shops and garages, and the Gholson service list covers everything else.

Gholson driveway questions
How wide can a driveway onto a state highway be?
For a private home, no more than 24 feet, measured at right angles to the drive's centerline, plus the permitted radii, by TxDOT's access manual. The radius where it meets the highway pavement must be at least 15 feet, and the drive must be paved with a stabilized all-weather surface TxDOT accepts.
Does a Gholson driveway need a culvert application?
It may. The City's forms page lists a Culvert Application separate from its Permit Application. If the new drive will cross a ditch, ask City Hall whether that form applies before work starts.
Does a long driveway cost less per square foot?
Often. National 2025 figures note that larger driveways cost more in total but often come in at a lower price per square foot, while a curved or circular design costs more.
