Asphalt Paving in Signal Hill, CA

Asphalt paving in Signal Hill means working on and around a hill with a famous past. On June 23, 1921, the Alamitos No. 1 well blew in with a gusher about 114 feet high, and within a short time the hill had more than 100 derricks. Signal Hill incorporated in 1924 and is completely surrounded by Long Beach. The hill rises 365 feet above the surrounding area.

Slopes

Homes on the hill have steep driveways. We compact in lifts, support downhill edges and plan for runoff.

Former oil land

Business parks and newer homes sit on land that was oil field for decades. We check the subgrade before paving.

Owners and renters

About 51.7 percent of Signal Hill homes are owner-occupied. We work on driveways and on apartment and business lots.

Small city

Signal Hill covers about 2.19 square miles with 11,848 residents in 2020.

Costs

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

Business parks

Much of the former oil land is now business parks and retail centers. Their lots need regular sealcoat, restriping and repairs. We phase work around business hours.

Drainage on the hill

Runoff from the top of the hill flows down through neighborhoods and lots. We set grades so water reaches drains without crossing pavement where it can do damage.

Remaining wells

Some properties still have old well sites nearby. We work around them and check the ground before paving.

Views and slopes

Homes near the top of the hill often have driveways that drop steeply to the street. Hot asphalt has to be placed and rolled carefully on those grades so it does not shove downhill, and the bottom of the driveway needs a way to shed water before it reaches the garage.
