Asphalt Paving in Hemet, CA

Asphalt paving in Hemet often involves private streets. Large-scale residential development here in the 1960s was mostly mobile home parks and retirement communities, and many of those communities have private asphalt streets, parking areas and common lots maintained by the park or association. After 50 or 60 years, many have been patched and resurfaced repeatedly.

Park and community streets

For mobile home parks and retirement communities, we:

• Map failed areas, potholes and drainage problems
• Rebuild failed sections and overlay where the base is sound
• Seal and restripe on a regular cycle
• Phase the work so residents keep access to their homes
• Pay attention to smooth, trip-free transitions for residents

Farm history

Hemet Dam formed Lake Hemet in 1895, and the water helped the valley grow citrus, apricots, peaches, olives and walnuts. Some older properties still sit on former orchard land, with long drives and outbuildings.

Dry and hot

Hemet averages about 11.75 inches of rain a year and has reached 116 degrees. Seal coating every few years keeps the sun from drying out asphalt.

Fire

The Fairview Fire, which started September 5, 2022 east of Hemet, burned 28,307 acres and led to about 1,500 homes being evacuated. Hillside properties on the city's edges benefit from drives with engine access.

City permits

Hemet is an incorporated city that also handles its own fire hazard zone maps. If your project reaches city right-of-way, we check with the city first.

Costs

HomeGuide puts a new 400 square foot asphalt driveway at about $2,000 to $4,800 and sealing a two-car drive at about $400 to $1,200. HomeAdvisor lists larger paved areas at about $2 to $4.50 per square foot. Park street work is priced by area with each task itemized.

Older driveways

Homes from the 1960s and 1970s often have driveways that have been patched for decades. Replacement with a new compacted base ends the cycle.

Commercial lots

Retail centers and medical offices along the main corridors need regular sealing, patching and restriping, with accessible spaces laid out correctly.

Diamond Valley Lake traffic

Weekend traffic heads toward the lake southwest of town. We schedule deliveries on weekdays.

What a park street job looks like

1. Walk the streets and map failures and drainage problems. 2. Rebuild failed sections first. 3. Overlay or seal the rest, depending on condition. 4. Restripe and stencil as needed. 5. Notify residents before each phase.

Dry, hot summers

With about 11.75 inches of rain a year and highs that have reached 116 degrees, Hemet's pavement mostly ages from sun. A seal coat every few years is the cheapest protection.

Former orchard land

Orchard-era drives on the edges of town are often long and thin. Rebuilding with a compacted base and proper slope makes them last.

Retirement community lots

Community centers and clubhouses need smooth, well-striped lots with accessible spaces near the entrance.

Repair costs

HomeGuide puts pothole repairs at about $100 to $400 and saw-cut patches at about $4 to $12 per square foot. For park streets with many failures, an overlay after section repairs often costs less over time.
