Asphalt Paving in San Pedro, CA

Asphalt paving in San Pedro deals with hills and history. San Pedro consolidated with Los Angeles in 1909, and the Port of Los Angeles spreads across 7,500 acres of land and water with 43 miles of waterfront. Neighborhoods climb from the port to the bluffs, at an elevation around 112 feet and much higher on the hillsides.

Hillside driveways

Sloped driveways need compaction in lifts, supported downhill edges and planned drainage. Runoff from uphill lots needs a path that does not undercut pavement.

Ground that moves

San Pedro's coastline has a history of land movement; the 1929 Sunken City event sent homes sliding off a cliff into the sea. On properties near the bluffs, we look for signs of movement before recommending new pavement.

Older homes

Many San Pedro homes date from the first half of the 20th century, with narrow driveways and alley garages. We plan hand work and smaller equipment.

Weather

San Pedro averages about 14.02 inches of rain a year, mostly November through March, with August highs near 82 degrees.

Costs

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

Commercial and port-area lots

Lots near the port and along the downtown waterfront serve shops, restaurants and businesses tied to the harbor. Repairs, sealcoat and restriping are phased so they stay open.

Renters and apartment lots

About 56.1 percent of San Pedro's housing units are rented. We maintain apartment lots and shared driveways with phased schedules.

Narrow streets and access

Older hillside streets can be narrow, with tight turns for paving trucks. We check truck access and staging at the walk-through so the job runs without blocking neighbors more than necessary.
