Paving the Smallest City in the County

Asphalt paving in Hawaiian Gardens covers the smallest city by area in Los Angeles County: about 0.96 square miles, home to 14,149 people in 2020. The name dates to 1927, when a palm-decorated fruit stand opened at Carson Street and Norwalk Boulevard. For decades after, the town was mostly dirt roads; only Norwalk Boulevard was paved in the late 1920s, and it was 1968 before every street was paved.

Newer streets, older lots

Because street paving came so late, many private driveways and lots here were built or rebuilt piecemeal. We often find mixed materials and thin pavement over soft ground. Replacing with a proper base gives a surface that lasts.

Dense and small

With roughly 15,000 people per square mile, driveways are short and lots tight. Smaller equipment and hand work are common here.

Flood history

Hawaiian Gardens saw major flooding in 1952. It sits at about 33 feet, so drainage on driveways and lots needs attention.

Costs

Small driveways often hit minimum charges. HomeGuide notes some contractors set a $2,000 or higher minimum for new driveways, and repairs carry minimum call-outs of $100 to $250. We quote the whole job so you can see what is included.

Business lots

Carson Street and Norwalk Boulevard carry the city's businesses. Their small lots need patching, seal coat and restriping, scheduled around customers.

Apartments

In 2010, about 56 percent of Hawaiian Gardens homes were rented. We maintain apartment lots and shared driveways with phased work.

Drainage

Low, flat ground means water needs a planned path. We set slope toward the street and rebuild settled areas that hold water.

Close by

Hawaiian Gardens borders Cerritos, Lakewood and Long Beach, all areas we work in.
