Asphalt Paving in Compton, CA

Asphalt paving in Compton works in one of the oldest cities in Los Angeles County. Griffith Dickenson Compton led a group of 30 pioneers to the area in 1867, and the city incorporated in 1888. Compton had 47,991 residents in 1950, 71,812 in 1960, and 95,740 in 2020.

Older homes

With a large stock of homes from the first half of the 20th century and the postwar years, Compton has many driveways well past their design life. Replacement with a compacted base and slope toward the street fixes settlement and standing water.

Freeways on every side

Compton is bounded by I-710 on the east and SR 91 on the south, with I-105 to the north and I-110 to the west. That access brings warehouses and industrial yards, which need heavy sections at truck routes and docks.

Airport

Compton/Woodley Airport opened on May 10, 1924. Businesses around it have lots and yards we pave and maintain.

Weather

Compton averages about 13.96 inches of rain a year, with mean daily highs near 74 degrees. Mild weather means a long paving season.

Homeowners

In 2010, 55.2 percent of Compton's homes were owner-occupied.

Costs

HomeGuide lists a 400-square-foot driveway at about $2,000 to $4,800 nationally. The written estimate is the price.

Industrial lots

Warehouse and industrial lots along the freeway corridors carry trucks that wear pavement at gates, lanes and docks. We map those zones and build each for its load, with recurring repair visits where needed.

Mixed old surfaces

Older Compton driveways are often a patchwork of concrete, asphalt and earlier repairs. Replacing the whole driveway in one material on a consistent base removes the weak joints where water gets in.

Care after paving

New asphalt stays soft through the first warm weeks. Avoid turning wheels while parked, keep heavy trailers off for a while, and wait three to six months before the first sealcoat. After that, reseal every few years.
