Cracked, uneven, or crumbling pavement? We install asphalt driveways and lots in Concord with proper base preparation for the local clay soils - so your surface holds up through every season.
Asphalt paving in Concord involves removing your old surface, grading and compacting the base, then laying hot asphalt mix in layers and rolling it smooth - most residential driveways are completed in one to two days.
Many Concord homes were built in the 1950s through 1970s, and the original driveways are well past their useful life. If yours is showing widespread cracking, low spots, or crumbling edges, the surface has often gone beyond what sealing or patching can fix. A fresh asphalt paving job restores a clean, functional surface and gives you years of reliable use.
Once the new surface is in, protecting it with regular asphalt sealcoating is the single best thing you can do to extend its lifespan - most contractors recommend your first sealcoat six months to a year after installation.
Small hairline cracks are normal, but when they connect into a web pattern or grow wider than a quarter inch, water is getting in and weakening the base. In Concord's clay-soil environment, that moisture accelerates the swelling-and-shrinking cycle and can turn a manageable repair into a full replacement faster than you expect.
Puddles sitting on your driveway after a rain mean the surface has developed depressions from base settling or soil movement. Standing water speeds up surface deterioration and can work its way into the base. This points to an underlying structural problem, not just a surface issue.
When the edges of your pavement start to break apart and crumble, the asphalt has lost its binding strength in those areas. Edge deterioration tends to spread inward over time. If you see loose chunks or a rough, gravelly texture along the borders, sealing alone will not help.
Asphalt that has turned gray and feels hard underfoot has oxidized - the oils that keep it flexible have dried out. Concord's intense summer sun accelerates this process. A surface in this condition is prone to cracking with any ground movement and is a better candidate for replacement than repeated patching.
We handle residential driveways, commercial properties, and everything in between. For property owners managing a commercial site, our parking lot paving service covers everything from small retail lots to larger multi-use surfaces - with drainage planning and accessible parking layout built in. Every project starts with a thorough assessment of your existing base so we know exactly what preparation the site needs.
For businesses with larger commercial properties, our commercial asphalt paving service is designed for the scale and compliance requirements those projects demand. We handle permitting coordination, phased paving to keep your lot operational, and ADA-compliant layout from the start.

Best for commercial property owners who need a durable, well-drained lot that handles daily vehicle traffic.
Best for large commercial sites needing phased paving, compliance planning, and multi-crew capacity.
Best when the existing base has failed and the surface problem cannot be solved with a simple overlay.
Concord sits in the Diablo Valley on expansive clay soils that swell during winter rains and shrink through the dry summer months. That seasonal movement is the primary reason driveways crack and develop uneven spots here - not freeze-thaw cycles as you would see in colder climates. A contractor who understands local soil conditions will build a deeper, better-compacted base specifically to absorb that movement, which is the difference between a surface that lasts and one that cracks within a few years. Concord summers also regularly push into the 90s and above, so experienced crews schedule paving during cooler morning hours and advise on protecting the surface through the cure period.
We work throughout Concord and the surrounding Diablo Valley, including Walnut Creek and Pleasant Hill. If your home or business is in any of these areas, give us a call - we know the local soil conditions and permit requirements for each city.
Call or submit our form and we reply within one business day to arrange an on-site visit. We measure the area, check the base condition, assess drainage, and look at any permit requirements before quoting - no phone guessing.
You receive a written quote that breaks out what work is needed and what it costs. If permits are required for your driveway apron, we pull them on your behalf - it usually adds a few days to the timeline, and we keep you informed.
On the first day, we remove the old surface and compact the base layer thoroughly - this is the most important part of the job. For Concord's clay soils, getting the base right is what separates a driveway that lasts from one that cracks within a few years.
We lay hot asphalt mix, compact it with a roller, and shape the surface to direct water away from your home. After paving, we walk you through the finished surface, show you the drainage slope, and give you clear instructions on the cure period.

(925) 536-0717We build every base specifically for the expansive clay soils common across Concord and the surrounding Diablo Valley. That means the right compaction depth and gravel specification for the soil conditions on your property - not a one-size approach that fails when the ground moves.
Our state contractor license is verifiable through the California Contractors State License Board. A licensed contractor is bonded and insured, which means you have real recourse if anything goes wrong - and we carry general liability and workers compensation coverage on every project.
If your project touches the public right-of-way, we pull the required city permit on your behalf before a single shovel hits the ground. You do not have to track down the permit yourself or worry about code compliance - we handle it and keep you updated on timing.
Every estimate includes an evaluation of how water currently moves across your property. A properly sloped surface directs rain away from your foundation and garage slab during Concord's winter rains - getting the drainage right at installation means you do not have to deal with standing water or moisture damage later.
These are not marketing promises - they are the specific things that determine whether a paving job holds up in Concord's conditions. A base built for local soils, proper drainage planning, and permit compliance are what separate a long-lasting driveway from one that needs attention within a few years.
