Asphalt Paving in Sun City, CA

Asphalt paving in Sun City often focuses on safety and smooth surfaces. Sun City was planned as an active retirement community for residents over 55 by Del Webb, the Phoenix builder, and grading began in December 1961. It became part of the City of Menifee when the city incorporated on October 1, 2008. Today it has about 11,962 housing units, roughly 74.5 percent owner-occupied, with a median build year of 1990.

Smooth, safe surfaces

For many Sun City residents, the priority is a driveway that is easy and safe to walk on. That means:

• No trip edges where asphalt meets the garage slab or walkway
• Gentle transitions at the apron
• Cracks and heaved spots repaired before they become hazards
• A surface that drains so water does not pool where people walk

We cut and key new asphalt flush at every edge and check the finished grade with you.

Older driveways

With homes going back to the 1960s, some original driveways have been patched, overlaid and patched again. Layers of old repairs on a tired base keep cracking. When we see that, we usually recommend removing the layers and rebuilding the base once.

Community lots

Sun City has clubhouses, churches and shopping areas with lots that see steady daytime traffic. We seal, patch and restripe them in sections, with accessible spaces laid out to the 2010 ADA Standards.

Weather

Sun City shares Menifee's climate: lots of sunny days, about 12.5 inches of rain a year and summer highs that regularly pass 95 degrees. Sealing every few years keeps the surface from drying out.

Working with residents

We walk the job with you, explain what we will do, and keep the street clear and clean while we work. If a neighbor shares your driveway apron, we coordinate with them too.

Seal and maintain

For a sound Sun City driveway, crack repair and a seal coat every few years keep it in good shape. HomeGuide puts sealing a two-car driveway at about $400 to $1,200.

Community parking areas

Clubhouse and church lots see steady daytime use. We seal, patch and restripe them in sections and schedule around events.

When to replace

If your driveway is cracked across most of its surface, has sunken areas or broken edges, or has been patched many times, replacement with a new compacted base is usually the better value. HomeGuide puts a new 400 square foot driveway at about $2,000 to $4,800.

Safety around the home

Beyond the driveway, we can repair trip edges where asphalt meets walkways and patios, and smooth heaved spots near trees and sprinklers. Many residents ask for that at the same visit.

Dust and cleanup

We keep dust down during removal and sweep the street before we leave each day.

Older community lots

Some community parking areas in Sun City date back decades and have been sealed over many times. When the sealer builds up and cracks, or the base underneath has failed, an overlay or section rebuild is the next step. We walk the lot with the board or manager and mark which areas need what.

Winter rain

Most of the year's rain falls in a few winter storms. Crack repair in the fall keeps that water out of the base.
