Paving in a City Built in Two Booms

Asphalt paving in Rialto works across two building booms. Rialto had 3,156 residents in 1950 and 18,567 in 1960, an increase of nearly 490 percent in one decade. It roughly doubled again between 1980 and 1990, from 37,862 to 72,388, and reached 104,026 in 2020. That means a lot of 1950s houses with original or much-patched driveways, and a lot of 1980s tracts whose asphalt is now 35 to 45 years old.

Older homes

Driveways from the 1950s were often paved thin, over little base. When they crack and sink, overlays do not last. We remove the old asphalt, build a compacted aggregate base, and repave.

Ground and elevation

Rialto sits at about 1,348 feet near Cajon Pass. Sandy soils from the old Delhi dune field reach into the area. Sandy ground drains well but must be compacted and confined properly, so subgrade work is part of every quote.

Distribution centers

Large distribution centers, including Amazon and Target, now operate in the Las Colinas area in the north of the city, between Interstate 10 and State Route 210. Truck traffic is heavy. Yards, drive aisles and nearby commercial lots need heavy sections and concrete where trailers stand.

Route 66 heritage

Foothill Boulevard, repaired in 1913, became part of Route 66 and is still a main commercial street. Older lots along it often need a combination of patching, overlay and restriping.

What Rialto owners typically need

Full replacement of thin 1950s driveways
Overlays and sealing on 1980s tract driveways
RV and work-truck parking pads with a deeper base
Heavy-duty repairs and resurfacing for truck yards and warehouse lots
Patching and restriping along Foothill Boulevard and Riverside Avenue

Many Rialto households keep work trucks or trailers at home, so we ask what will park on the driveway and size the pavement for it.

Planning a Rialto project

Rialto sits higher than most cities to its west, near the mouth of Cajon Pass, so it can be windier. We avoid paving and grading in high winds, keep dust down with water, and sweep tracked dirt off the street each day. Summer work starts early. For commercial lots, we phase repairs and restriping so businesses stay open, and for truck yards, we plan around shift changes and delivery schedules.

Rialto Questions

Is my 1950s driveway worth overlaying?

Rarely. Most were paved thin over little base and need to be replaced.

Do you pave truck yards in Rialto?

Yes, with sections sized for truck traffic and concrete where trailers stand.

Does sandy soil affect paving?

It drains well but must be compacted and confined. We check the subgrade first.

Can my driveway handle a work truck?

Yes, with the right section. A heavier truck needs more base and thicker asphalt than a car, especially where it parks.

How long does a Rialto driveway replacement take?

Usually one to three days for removal, base work and paving, plus time for the asphalt to set before you drive on it.

Can you work around truck delivery schedules?

Yes. We phase yard work around shifts and deliveries so the site keeps operating.

Is a concrete pad worth it for trailer parking?

Often, yes. Trailer tongue jacks and landing gear press into asphalt, especially in summer. A concrete pad under those points prevents dents.

How do I know if my driveway base has failed?

Look for cracks that connect into a web, dips where water stands, and spots that flex under a car. Those mean the base is gone and an overlay will not last.

Do you seal commercial lots along Foothill Boulevard?

Yes, along with crack filling and restriping. We work in sections so businesses stay open.

Can you pave my side yard for extra parking?

Yes, with a base and section matched to what will park there. We slope it so water drains away from the house and off the neighbor's side of the property line.
