Asphalt Paving in Palos Verdes Estates, CA

Asphalt paving in Palos Verdes Estates works within a planned community. Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. master-planned it in 1923 on 3,200 acres, and it incorporated in 1939. The original plan required half the land to be set aside for common use, and an art jury reviewed building plans, including fences and hedges.

Design review

Because the community has a tradition of design review, owners should check whether exterior work needs approval before scheduling. We provide the scope and drawings you need.

Hillside driveways

Many lots are sloped. Driveways need compaction in lifts, supported edges and drainage.

Homeowners

About 87.4 percent of homes are owner-occupied.

Costs

HomeGuide adds 15 to 30 percent for slopes and curves. The written estimate is the price.

Design details

With a strong tradition of design, owners often want clean edges, smooth transitions and a uniform finish. We talk through edges, borders and transitions at the walk-through.

Ground and drainage

The Palos Verdes Peninsula has a history of land movement. We look for signs of movement before recommending new pavement, and plan drainage so water stays off slopes.

Maintenance

After replacement, sealcoat every few years and crack sealing before the rains keep a driveway looking new.

Access

Narrow, winding streets and sloped lots need planning for truck access. We check at the walk-through.

Costs

HomeGuide puts standard hot mix at $5 to $12 or more per square foot and says slopes and curves raise that by 15 to 30 percent. Hillside driveways here often fall at the higher end. The written estimate lists each part of the job.

Protecting landscaping

Mature landscaping, walls and hedges are part of the character of these properties. We protect them during work, use smaller equipment where space is tight, and clean up each day.
