Asphalt Paving in Norwalk, CA

Asphalt paving in Norwalk mostly renews what was built in one burst. By 1900 Norwalk was a dairy center, many of its farmers Dutch. After the war, homes replaced the farms so fast that by 1960, three years after incorporation in 1957, Norwalk had 88,739 residents. The 2020 census counted 102,773, so the city has barely changed size in sixty years. Most of its housing, and most of its driveways, date from that first wave.

Driveways from the 1950s

Sixty-year-old driveways often have thin asphalt over little base, or concrete broken into slabs. We remove, rebuild the base and pave fresh, or grind and repave where the base is sound.

Freeway crossroads

The Santa Ana Freeway (I-5) and San Gabriel River Freeway (I-605) cross just above Norwalk's northern edge, and the Century Freeway (I-105) ends at Studebaker Road. Commercial and industrial lots near those corridors carry trucks and need heavier sections where they drive.

Homeowners

About 64.6 percent of Norwalk's homes are owner-occupied, so most of our work here is single-family driveways, plus apartment and retail lots.

Costs

Published national ranges: new asphalt driveways about $5 to $12 or more per square foot (HomeGuide); tear-out and replacement $8 to $15 (Angi); parking lots $2 to $4.50 (HomeAdvisor). Your written quote is the price.

Apartments and retail

Norwalk has many apartment complexes and retail centers along its boulevards. We rebuild failed zones, seal coat and restripe in phases.

Concrete to asphalt

Many original Norwalk driveways were concrete and have cracked into slabs. Replacing with asphalt is often less expensive up front. We go over both options at the site visit.

Drainage

At about 92 feet and mostly flat, Norwalk lots need deliberate slope to move water to the street.

Care after paving

Keep cars still while parked during the first warm weeks, and wait three to six months before the first seal coat.
