An Old Town Growing Fast
Asphalt paving in San Jacinto covers both very old and very new property. San Jacinto was founded in 1870, laid out in 1883 and incorporated on April 20, 1888, when the railroad arrived. Many dairies were established here in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, making it an agricultural center. Then the city more than doubled, from 23,779 residents in 2000 to 53,898 in 2020, with 15,998 housing units.
Farm and dairy yards
Dairy and farm properties have yards that see feed trucks, milk trucks and equipment daily. Those need:
- A deep aggregate base
- Thicker asphalt where trucks turn and load
- Grades that move water away from barns and work areas
- Wide entrances so trucks do not break the edges
New tracts
The city's newer neighborhoods need driveway extensions, RV pads, crack repair and sealing. Their HOA areas need regular maintenance.
Weather
San Jacinto averages about 12.2 inches of precipitation a year. The mean July high is about 95.1 degrees and the record high is 116. Seal coating every few years protects against the sun.
Earthquakes
The city has been struck by two large recorded earthquakes, on Christmas Day 1899 and April 21, 1918. Asphalt flexes better than concrete when the ground shifts a little, and a well-compacted base keeps small movements from turning into cracks.
City permits
San Jacinto is an incorporated city. If your project reaches its 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. Yards are priced by area with heavy sections itemized. HomeAdvisor lists larger paved areas at about $2 to $4.50 per square foot.
Older downtown homes
Homes near the historic downtown are older and often have narrow drives and alley access. Those usually need full replacement with a new base.
New tract maintenance
For newer homes, crack repair in the fall and a seal coat every few years keep driveways looking new.
Mountain views and runoff
The San Jacinto Mountains rise to the east, and storm runoff from the foothills crosses some properties. We grade drives so water passes rather than pooling.
What a farm yard job looks like
1. Walk the yard and mark truck paths and drainage. 2. Remove soft or manure-soaked soil and rebuild the base. 3. Grade to drain away from barns. 4. Pave thicker on truck lanes. 5. Seal edges and joints.
Two earthquakes, one lesson
The large earthquakes of 1899 and 1918 are a reminder that ground in the valley can move. For driveways, the practical lesson is simple: compacted base, not loose fill, under every paved surface.
Heat
With a mean July high of about 95 degrees, sealing on schedule protects new and old asphalt alike.
Growth
New neighborhoods keep adding driveways that will need care in the coming years.
Repair costs
HomeGuide puts pothole repairs at about $100 to $400 and crack filling at about $0.50 to $3 per linear foot. On farm yards, saw-cut patches with rebuilt base hold up far better than cold patch.
