Asphalt Paving in Pomona, CA

Asphalt paving in Pomona covers a wide range of ages and terrain. Pomona incorporated on January 6, 1888, and in the 1920s it was known as the Queen of the Citrus Belt. The city grew from 35,405 people in 1950 to 67,157 in 1960, nearly doubling, and the 2020 census counted 151,713. Historic districts like Lincoln Park sit a few miles from 1980s hillside subdivisions in Phillips Ranch.

Older neighborhoods

Homes in central and north Pomona often have long, narrow driveways running beside the house to a detached garage at the back. Many of those were paved decades ago over little or no base. When they crack and sink, an overlay will not hold; the fix is removing the old asphalt, building a proper base and repaving. Older lots may also have mature trees whose roots lift the pavement, and we cut out and rebuild those sections.

Phillips Ranch and the hills

Phillips Ranch, developed since the 1980s in the hilly area between downtown and Diamond Bar, has sloped streets and driveways. Hillside driveways need careful drainage and compaction, and many are now old enough to need an overlay.

Commercial and institutional lots

Pomona is home to Cal Poly Pomona, the Fairplex and Western University of Health Sciences, plus a long list of retail centers and industrial sites along the 10, 57 and 60 freeways. Large lots like these are best maintained on a schedule: crack filling, sealcoating and spot repairs every few years, and overlays in sections when the surface wears out. We plan work around events and business hours.

Climate

Pomona averages about 14.5 inches of rain a year, mostly in winter, and August highs average about 92 degrees. The record is 117. That mix of short, heavy storms and long, hot summers is hard on asphalt that is already cracked, because water gets into the base in winter and the sun dries out the surface in summer.

Typical Pomona jobs

In Lincoln Park and the other historic neighborhoods, it is replacing long side drives, often with tight access and old curbs. In postwar neighborhoods across the city, it is replacements and overlays on 60-year-old driveways. In Phillips Ranch, it is hillside driveways and HOA streets. On commercial, college and fairground lots, it is sectional maintenance, overlays and restriping. Pomona's history gives it a lot of mature trees and old infrastructure, so we take time at the estimate to look for roots, utility cuts and settled trenches that need to be handled before new asphalt goes down.

Planning a Pomona project

Pomona's winter rain comes mainly from December through March, with February the wettest month at about four inches, and summers are long and hot. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to pave, but we work year-round between storms. For larger lots, we usually recommend doing structural repairs first, then sealing and restriping in the same visit, so the lot is closed only once. For homes, a written quote shows each part of the job, from removal to the final edge.
