Expert Asphalt Paving in Santee

If you live or do business in Santee, you know that our local environment is a little different than the coast. It gets hot out here. Really hot. That East County sun can take a toll on driveways, parking lots, and private roads. That is why finding the right team for Asphalt Paving in Santee is so important. You need a surface that stands up to the heat and traffic, year after year.

At San Diego Asphalt Paving and Concrete (SDAPC), we understand this better than anyone. We are a development and engineering company, but we like to keep things friendly and approachable. We aren't just a crew with a truck; we are a fully licensed General A Engineering Contractor and General B Contractor right here in California. This means we have the technical know-how to handle complex projects, but we treat every client like a neighbor.

Why Experience Matters in San Diego County

When you are looking to pave a new lot or resurface an old driveway, you want peace of mind. You want to know the job is going to be done right the first time.

One thing we love about this work is seeing a transformation. There is nothing quite like the look of fresh, smooth asphalt. But pretty looks aren't enough. The ground beneath the asphalt—the subgrade—is actually the most important part. Because we hold a General A license, we understand the engineering behind soil stability and drainage. We make sure water runs off your pavement, not under it.

We take a lot of pride in our background. SDAPC is a Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE). We served our country, and now we are serving our community in San Diego County.

• PDBE (Port of San Diego Disadvantaged Business Enterprise)
• SB-Micro (Small Business Micro)

What Goes Into a Great Asphalt Job?

If you are new to asphalt paving, the process might seem mysterious. We like to keep it transparent. Here is what usually happens when we tackle a project in Santee:

1. Demolition and Removal: If you have old, cracked pavement, we usually need to get rid of it. We haul it away to be recycled.
2. Grading and Sloping: This is the "secret sauce." We grade the dirt to ensure water flows to the gutters or drains.
3. Base Layer: We lay down a heavy road base and compact it. Think of this as the foundation of a house. If this is weak, the asphalt will crack.
4. The Paving: We lay the hot asphalt mix. We use machinery to spread it evenly and rollers to pack it down tight.
5. Compaction: This is crucial. We make sure the asphalt is dense and smooth so it lasts for years.

Factors That Affect Paving Costs

We know that budget is a huge factor for our clients. "How much will it cost?" is usually the first question we get.

Honesty is our policy, so we tell people that asphalt paving prices can fluctuate. Since asphalt is an oil-based product, the price of oil changes the price of the material. However, here are a few things that will influence your quote:

• Square Footage: Generally, larger areas have a lower cost per square foot due to economies of scale.
• Site Preparation: Does the ground need a lot of grading? Is there a lot of old concrete to remove?
• Access: Can our big trucks get in easily, or is it a tight squeeze?
• Thickness: Heavy trucks require thicker asphalt than a residential car.

We work with you to find a solution that fits your needs and your budget. We don't believe in hidden fees or surprise charges.
