Rural Driveways in Reliez Valley

Asphalt paving in Reliez Valley is mostly long driveways and private roads on semi-rural lots. This unincorporated valley covers about 2.36 square miles with 1,336 homes, a density far lower than nearby Pleasant Hill or Lafayette, and 85.5 percent of occupied homes are owner-occupied. Residents' median age was 51.0 at the 2020 census.

County rules

Reliez Valley is unincorporated, so County conditions apply wherever a drive meets the road: an 18-inch minimum culvert where there is no curb, a driveway within a foot of the shoulder elevation at the property line, and no runoff directed onto the County road.

Long drives and private roads

Longer drives carry delivery and service trucks and need a heavier section, crown and drainage at every dip. Shared private roads are quoted by section.

Culverts

Where driveways cross ditches, County conditions call for a culvert of at least 18 inches where there is no curb. We size and set culverts so water passes without overtopping the drive.

Maintenance

Crack sealing before winter and sealcoat every few years keep long drives from needing major repair.

Typical Reliez Valley projects

Reliez Valley's lower density means longer driveways, shared lanes and rural features like ditches and culverts. Common projects include paving gravel drives, rebuilding failed sections of long asphalt drives, replacing culverts that have rusted or collapsed, and resurfacing shared lanes. With a median age of 51.0, smooth, even surfaces matter to many residents. We pay particular attention to steep sections, adding traction to sealcoat and keeping transitions to walkways flush. Phased work keeps every household's access open.
