Paving in a Foothill Town
Asphalt paving in San Dimas covers homes from the foothills down to the valley floor. The city runs along the base of the San Gabriel Mountains and takes its name from San Dimas Canyon. Before the 1887 railroad arrived, the area was known as La Cienega Mud Springs, and orange growing was its main business until the middle of the twentieth century. Today the city is known for its Western art and Old West-style downtown.
Housing ages
San Dimas incorporated on August 4, 1960. It grew from 15,692 residents in 1970 to 24,014 in 1980 and 32,397 in 1990, so most homes date from the 1970s and 1980s. Driveways from that period are now 35 to 55 years old. Some just need sealing and crack filling. Others have reached the point where an overlay or replacement is cheaper than continued patching.
Foothills and slopes
Northern San Dimas sits on rising ground toward the mountains, with sloped lots and long driveways. On slopes, we compact the base in thin lifts and shape the surface so water runs to a controlled point.
Commercial and recreational lots
San Dimas is home to Raging Waters, Bonelli Regional Park and a busy commercial strip along Arrow Highway. Large seasonal lots need maintenance timed to their off-season. Interstate 210 and State Route 57 bring steady traffic to retail centers nearby.
Transit
The A Line light rail station opened on September 19, 2025, bringing more traffic to the area around downtown. Lots near the station and along Bonita Avenue may need restriping and repairs to handle it.
Common San Dimas projects
- Overlays and replacements on 1970s and 1980s driveways
- Long, sloped driveways on foothill lots north of Foothill Boulevard
- Sealcoating and crack filling for HOA streets and community lots
- Off-season maintenance for recreational and seasonal lots
- Restriping retail lots along Arrow Highway and Bonita Avenue
On foothill properties, we also check where storm runoff from above the lot enters the driveway, because water from uphill can undercut pavement even when the driveway itself is sloped correctly.
Planning a San Dimas project
San Dimas sits between the mountains and the valley, with cooler, shadier lots near the canyon and hotter, open lots near the freeways. Shaded driveways age more slowly; open ones need sealing more often. For homes, we schedule replacements in dry weather and give you a written quote that separates removal, base, paving and edges. For seasonal businesses, we schedule work in the off-season and coordinate with management on access.

San Dimas Questions
Do you pave seasonal business lots?
Yes, scheduled for the off-season so there is no disruption.
Is my 1980s driveway due for work?
Many are. If it is gray and cracked but level, sealing and crack filling help. If it is sinking, it needs replacement.
Can you work on sloped foothill lots?
Yes, with base compaction and drainage planned for the grade.
Water from the hill runs across my driveway. What can be done?
A swale, berm or drain at the top of the driveway can redirect runoff. We look at where the water comes from during the estimate.
Do you work on equestrian properties in San Dimas?
Yes, with a deeper base for trailers and careful planning around corrals and trails.
Does shade change how often I need to seal?
Yes. Shaded driveways age more slowly and can go longer between sealcoats than driveways in full sun.
Can you pave a long driveway to a hillside home?
Yes. Long, sloped drives need a firm base and careful drainage. On very steep sections, concrete may be the better option.
Do you repair parking lots for San Dimas churches and schools?
Yes, scheduled around services and school calendars.
Can you pave over an old concrete driveway?
It is possible in some cases, but concrete joints tend to crack through asphalt. Removing the concrete and building a proper base usually gives a longer-lasting result.
How do I keep a sealcoat from tracking into the house?
Stay off it until it has cured, usually 12 to 72 hours depending on weather. We barricade the area and tell you when it is ready.
