Asphalt Paving in Danville, CA

Asphalt paving in Danville serves a town of mostly owner-occupied homes in the San Ramon Valley, between Las Trampas Ridge to the west and Mount Diablo, rising to 3,849 feet, to the east. Danville incorporated in 1982; at the 2020 census it had 16,101 housing units, 84.6 percent owner-occupied, and an average household size of 2.78. Owners here tend to stay, so they invest in driveways built to last.

Seasons

Danville averages a July high of about 84.6 degrees and about 25.14 inches of rain a year, almost all of it in winter; January alone averages 4.86 inches. Pavement here has to shed a lot of water in a short season and then survive a long, dry summer.

Creeks and runoff

Sycamore Creek drains part of Mount Diablo and flows through town, and many properties sit on slopes that feed it. We grade driveways to move water to the street or to approved drainage and keep it from undermining edges.

Long driveways and estates

Larger lots on the east and west sides of town often have long, winding drives. These need a heavier section where service trucks travel, compacted shoulders and planned drainage at every low point.

Historic Danville

The town's post office opened in 1860, and Eugene O'Neill wrote three plays at Tao House between 1937 and 1944. Older properties near downtown have narrow driveways and mature landscaping that need careful work.

At the street

For approach or curb work, we check the Town of Danville's current encroachment requirements before scheduling. Many neighborhoods also have HOA design rules.

Typical Danville projects

Danville's neighborhoods range from older homes near the historic downtown to large lots on the hills and newer subdivisions toward the east. Driveway replacement on older properties, overlays on sound driveways from the 1980s and 1990s, and sealcoat on newer ones make up most of our work. Long private drives on hillside estates need drainage at each low point and a heavier section where service trucks travel. The Southern Pacific spur reached Danville in 1891. We also work on church, school and commercial lots, where restriping includes accessible spaces laid out to the 2010 ADA Standards.

Seasonal timing

With nearly all of the 25 inches of annual rain falling in winter, paving and sealing are scheduled from late spring through early fall. Crack sealing is best done in late summer so cracks are closed before the first storms.
