Paving Services We Provide

Asphalt Driveway Paving and Resurfacing

Asphalt is the most common driveway material for foothill homes. It handles heavy vehicles well. You can resurface it when the top layer wears down. The weak point on any asphalt job is the seam where old pavement meets new. A cold seam lets water in. That water freezes and splits the surface open from inside.

We use hot-mix PG 64-10 polymer-modified asphalt concrete on every driveway we pave. This mix stands up to heavy truck loads and does not crack in extreme heat. Next, we heat every seam with a walk-behind infrared asphalt seam heater. The heater melts both the old and new layers into one solid bond. This means water has no gap to enter. The job meets California Green Building Standards Code Section 5.106.10 solar reflectance index requirements for heat control in built-up areas.

Services include: new asphalt installation, full driveway replacement, resurfacing and overlays, crack sealing, and sealcoating.

Interlocking Paver Patios, Walkways, and Driveways

Pavers work differently from poured concrete. Each stone block is set one at a time in a sand bed. The surface can flex slightly when the ground shifts. Also, if a single block cracks or sinks, you lift it out and reset it. The rest of the surface stays in place.

We set high-density wet-cast interlocking concrete paver blocks over a packed gravel base and a smooth sand bed. Next, we cut border stones using an eccentric-jaw manual stone block splitter. This tool gives clean, straight cuts without cracking the face of the stone. This keeps the edges locked tight so the field stones cannot rock or spread. The path meets California Building Code Section 11B-403 accessible route ground and floor surfaces for stable, level walking surfaces.

Services include: paver driveways, front entry walkways, garden paths, poolside surfaces, and outdoor seating areas.

Commercial Parking Lot Paving and ADA Striping

Commercial pavement takes a harder beating than a home driveway. Delivery trucks and daily customer traffic wear through the surface faster. A poorly marked lot also creates confusion and exposes the property owner to liability.

We install heavy-duty asphalt rated for commercial traffic loads. Next, we stripe every stall and lane using Type II glass-bead reflective traffic marking paint. This paint reflects headlights clearly at night and in wet weather. We apply it with a hand-propelled thermoplastic line striping applicator for straight, even lines across the full lot. This means ADA spaces, fire lanes, and directional arrows all land in the right place. Every layout we complete meets California Building Code Section 11B-502.6 accessibility striping color specifications for blue ADA parking zones.

Services include: new lot installation, parking lot resurfacing, ADA markings, pothole repair, and traffic flow layout.

Concrete Flatwork and Drainage Correction

Concrete is the right choice when you want a surface that lasts for decades with little upkeep. Driveways and walkways poured correctly hold up for thirty to forty years. The biggest risk with concrete is not cracking at the surface. It is water sitting on top of the slab because the slope was set wrong. Pooled water eventually works into the joint gaps and erodes the base.

We pour every slab using 4000 PSI fiber-reinforced portland concrete mix. The fiber holds the slab together if the ground shifts slightly underneath. Before every pour, we test each batch with a concrete slump cone test kit to check the water-to-cement mix. Too much water weakens the final slab. This means we catch a bad mix before it goes into the ground. Every job follows California Residential Code Section R401.3 site drainage and runoff disposal requirements to move water away from the home foundation.

Services include: concrete driveways, front walkways, patio slabs, concrete crack repairs, and slope corrections.

Seven Operating Standards We Hold On Every Project

Our work follows a set of clear standards. These are not promises we make once and forget. They are the actual steps we follow on every job.

  • California State License: CSLB No. 970596: We hold an active state contractor license and carry full liability insurance. Your home and your investment are covered from the first day we arrive.
  • No-Cost Site Visit Before Any Commitment: We come to your property to walk the ground and measure the area. We check the slope, the soil, and the drainage pattern. You pay nothing for this visit and you are not required to hire us.
  • Written Proposal With Line-Item Pricing: Before any work starts, you receive a written proposal. It shows the materials, the labor, the permit fees, and the total cost. Nothing gets added after you sign.
  • Permit and HOA Paperwork Filed on Your Behalf: El Dorado County and neighborhood HOA boards both require approvals for new paving. We prepare the documents and file them for you so the project stays on schedule.
  • Clay Layer Removed and Rock Base Packed In: We do not pave over unstable ground. We dig out the clay, then compact a thick layer of crushed rock in its place. This rock base will not shift or sink the way clay does.

How We Complete a Paving Project
From Start to Finish

Step 01

Site Evaluation and Drainage Review

We visit your property and check the slope across the entire area. We identify low spots where water collects and plan how the finished surface will direct runoff.
Step 02

Clay Removal and Subgrade Grading

We excavate the top layer of clay soil. Next, we grade the raw ground to the correct slope before any base material goes in.
Step 03

Crushed Rock Base Installation

We lay down a thick layer of crushed granite or road base rock. This material locks together when compacted and creates a stable platform that does not shift with soil moisture changes.
Step 04

Compaction and Slope Check

We run a vibratory plate compactor across the rock base in multiple passes. Also, we check the slope with a level at every pass to keep the final surface draining correctly.
Step 05

Paving Material Application

We install the asphalt, concrete forms, or paver stones according to the project plan. Each material goes down in sections so we can check alignment as we work.
Step 06

Joint Sealing and Cure Guidance

We seal open joints, apply edge restraints where needed, and give you clear instructions on when the surface is ready for foot traffic and vehicle use.

Frequently Asked Questions

These are the questions homeowners ask us most:

How much does a new driveway cost?
The price depends on the size of the surface, how much soil we need to remove, and which material you choose. We give you a firm written price after the free site visit.
When can I drive on the new surface?
Concrete needs seven days before vehicles can use it. Asphalt needs forty-eight to seventy-two hours to cool and firm up. Paver driveways are ready for vehicles as soon as the job is complete.
Should I resurface or replace my driveway?
Resurfacing adds a new top layer over the existing base. It works when the base is solid and the damage is only at the surface. If the base has shifted or the ground underneath is soft, replacement is the right answer. Resurfacing over a bad base will fail within a year or two.
Why does water sit on my driveway after rain?
Standing water means the surface slope is too flat or tilted the wrong direction. We set the grade during installation to keep water moving toward the street or a drainage channel.
Do you handle ADA parking requirements for commercial lots?
Yes. We paint blue ADA spaces, access aisles, and required signage placements as part of every commercial parking lot project.
How long do interlocking pavers last?
Pavers installed over a proper base last fifty years or more. Also, individual stones can be lifted and reset if the ground shifts, so the surface stays level without replacing the whole area.
Does sealcoating actually protect asphalt?
Yes. Sealcoating fills small surface cracks and blocks UV rays from drying out the asphalt binder. Applied every three to four years, it can double the working life of an asphalt surface.
