Paving in a Rural Community

Asphalt paving in Bloomington serves a community that is still partly rural. Bloomington is an unincorporated community in San Bernardino County, a census-designated place with 24,339 residents in 2020 on about 6 square miles. Many residents keep and raise animals, and many properties have long gravel or dirt drives, outbuildings and open yards.

County, not city

Because Bloomington is unincorporated, the county, not a city, handles the public roads and right-of-way. If your project touches the street, the shoulder or a driveway approach, we confirm what San Bernardino County requires before scheduling. Several cityhood efforts have been made over the years, so check whether anything has changed.

Gravel conversions and long drives

Paving a long gravel drive cuts dust and mud. The work is mostly grading and base: shaping the drive so water runs off to the sides, compacting new aggregate and then paving. Drives that carry trailers or livestock trucks need a thicker section.

Older homes

The Semi-Tropic Land and Water Company developed the area, and the town site was surveyed in April 1888. Some older homes have driveways with decades of patching. When those are sinking or broken, removal and a new base are the fix.

Warehouses and traffic

Warehouse development has been changing Bloomington, and Interstate 10 runs through town. Truck traffic on local roads is heavier than it used to be. Commercial lots and yards here need heavy pavement sections and concrete at truck standing areas.

Heat

July and August highs average about 94 degrees, and the record is 113. We schedule summer work early in the day.

What Bloomington owners typically need

Gravel-to-asphalt conversions on long drives
Paved parking and turnarounds for trucks and trailers
Replacement of older, patched driveways
Repairs and sealing on existing asphalt
Heavy-duty paving for commercial yards near I-10

Because many Bloomington properties keep animals, we plan the work area with you so animals and equipment stay apart, and we leave unpaved areas where you want them.

Planning a Bloomington project

Bloomington summers are hot, and the area's rural roads carry more truck traffic than they used to. For long drives, we plan delivery of hot mix so each load is placed and rolled while still hot. We water grading work to control dust and keep tracked dirt off the road. Because the county handles the public road, we check its requirements early if the job reaches the street.

Bloomington Questions

Who approves driveway work at the street in Bloomington?

Since Bloomington is unincorporated, San Bernardino County handles the public road. We confirm the county's requirements before scheduling work at the street.

Can you pave a long dirt drive for a property with animals?

Yes. We grade and build a base suited to trailers and trucks, then pave.

Do you pave commercial yards in Bloomington?

Yes, sized for truck traffic.

Can you pave only part of my drive now and the rest later?

Yes. Long drives can be paved in stages. We grade and base the whole drive if possible, so later sections tie in cleanly.

Will paving help with dust from my drive?

Yes. Paving a dirt or gravel drive cuts dust and mud significantly, which also keeps dirt off the road.

How long does a gravel-to-asphalt conversion take?

Usually two to four days for grading, base and paving, depending on length. We give you a schedule with the quote.

Can trucks and trailers use a new asphalt drive right away?

Not right away. Cars can usually use it after a few days; heavy trucks and trailers should wait longer, especially in summer heat.

Is asphalt cheaper than concrete for a long rural drive?

Usually, yes, especially for long drives. Asphalt costs less per square foot and is easier to repair, though it needs sealing every few years.

Do you pave commercial yards near the warehouses?

Yes, with heavy sections and concrete where trailers stand.

Will paving my drive change my property drainage?

It can, because pavement sheds water faster than gravel. We slope the drive so water goes to the sides or the road, away from buildings and neighbors.
