Asphalt Paving in Descanso: What to Expect

Paving in Descanso is a bit different than paving in downtown San Diego. The soil can be rocky, and the weather changes more drastically. You get hot summers and cold, wet winters. That freeze-thaw cycle can really hurt asphalt if it isn't laid down correctly.

When we tackle a project for Asphalt Paving in Descanso, we look at the whole picture.

1. The Foundation Matters
You can’t just dump asphalt on dirt. Well, you can, but it won’t last long. We focus heavily on the sub-base. This is the layer of gravel and compacted soil underneath the blacktop. If this isn't solid, the asphalt will crack. We make sure the ground is stable before we pave.

2. Water Management
In the mountains, water runoff is a big deal. We grade the land so that rain flows away from your home or garage, not into it. Proper drainage saves you money on repairs later.

3. The Paving Process
Once the prep work is done, we bring in the hot mix asphalt. We lay it down at the right temperature and thickness. Then, we roll it smooth. We use heavy equipment to compact it down tight. This gives you that smooth, clean look and a surface that lasts.

Factors That Affect Cost

We know that budget is usually the first thing on a client’s mind. We like to be transparent about what goes into the cost of Asphalt Paving. Since every property in Descanso is unique, we can’t give a flat rate without seeing it, but here is what we look at:

• Square Footage: Naturally, bigger driveways cost more.
• Grading and Prep: Does the land need to be leveled? Do we need to remove old concrete or asphalt first?
• Hauling: Since Descanso is a bit further out, getting the hot asphalt from the plant to your site quickly requires good logistics.
• Thickness: Heavy trucks require thicker asphalt than a standard sedan. We will help you decide what strength you need.

It’s an investment, but a paved driveway adds value to your home. Plus, it keeps the mud off your tires during the rainy season.
