Driveway Work in Pleasant Hill

Asphalt paving in Pleasant Hill often involves replacing driveways that date back decades. Pleasant Hill developed largely after World War II, got its first post office in 1948, and incorporated in 1961. Its 14,458 homes were 62.4 percent owner-occupied in 2020. Many driveways have been patched repeatedly and are ready for rebuilding; others have been replaced and need only sealcoat and crack sealing.

Mild weather

Pleasant Hill rarely freezes, and summers run from the 70s to upper 80s. Pavement wears mostly from sun and winter rain.

Rolling terrain

Valleys and rolling hills mean some sloped lots and runoff to manage, especially near open space.

Commercial

Shopping centers, offices and Diablo Valley College bring lots that need overlays, sealcoat and ADA restriping.

At the street

We check the City of Pleasant Hill's current encroachment requirements before approach or curb work.

Typical Pleasant Hill projects

Pleasant Hill's postwar driveways are often thin asphalt laid directly on native soil, and decades of use have left them cracked and patched. We remove them, build a proper compacted base and repave. Driveways replaced in the 1990s and 2000s tend to need crack sealing, sealcoat or an overlay. Many lots have mature trees, so root damage is a frequent issue, and we work carefully around roots or recommend an arborist. Downtown Pleasant Hill, which opened in July 2000, and other shopping centers need lot repair, sealcoat and restriping with accessible stalls. The city's 13,918 households include many longtime owners who want a durable job.

Timing

With a mild climate and rare freezes, paving season runs from spring through fall; we avoid the wettest winter weeks.

Pleasant Hill Questions

My Pleasant Hill driveway is cracked everywhere. Overlay or replace?

If the cracks connect into blocks or there are soft spots, replace. If they are scattered and the base is firm, an overlay can work.

Do you stripe lots near Diablo Valley College?

Yes, commercial and institutional lots, to the 2010 ADA Standards.

When is the best time to pave in Pleasant Hill?

Late spring to early fall.

Can you work around trees in my Pleasant Hill yard?

Yes. We protect roots where possible and recommend an arborist for major trees.

My driveway is thin asphalt on dirt. Can it be overlaid?

Usually not. Without a base, an overlay will crack. A rebuild with a compacted base is the lasting fix.
