Asphalt Paving in Martinez, CA

Asphalt paving in Martinez often means working on older, tighter properties. Martinez became the county seat in 1850 and incorporated in 1876; its downtown fills the Alhambra Creek valley, with the Franklin Hills to the west. Many driveways are narrow, steep or shared. The city had 15,360 housing units at the 2020 census.

Access

Narrow lots may call for smaller equipment and hand work. We plan for that in the quote.

Hills and creek

Hillside runoff heads toward Alhambra Creek. We grade driveways to move water to the street and protect edges.

Climate

Summer highs average near 87 degrees and rain averages 19.39 inches a year.

At the street

We check the City of Martinez's current encroachment requirements before approach work.

Typical Martinez projects

Martinez has some of the oldest residential lots in the county, and many driveways were built for one small car. Common requests include widening where the lot allows, regrading the transition to the street so cars do not scrape, and rebuilding driveways that have settled on old fill. On the hills west and south of downtown, runoff and steep grades make drainage the first concern. Downtown business owners need lot patching, sealcoat and restriping. The city's Mediterranean climate brings about 19 inches of rain, almost all in winter, so we schedule paving for dry months and seal cracks before the first storms.

Historic setting

John Muir lived in Martinez from 1880 until his death in 1914, and the town has many historic properties. We work carefully around old walls, steps and landscaping.

Shared driveways

Some Martinez homes share a driveway with a neighbor. We can break the quote down by section so the cost can be split fairly.
