Asphalt Paving in Winchester, CA

Asphalt paving in Winchester serves a community in transition. Winchester was founded in 1886 in Pleasant Valley, then part of San Diego County, and named for Amy Winchester. At the 2020 census, all of its 3,068 residents lived in rural areas. In 2022, Riverside County expanded the Winchester planning area to 42 square miles to help meet state housing requirements, so new neighborhoods are coming.

Rural properties

Existing properties are mostly rural: long drives, work yards and farm buildings. Typical work:

• Gravel and dirt drives paved
• Yards for trucks and equipment
• Turnarounds and trailer parking
• Repairs to older asphalt

Diamond Valley Lake

Diamond Valley Lake, a reservoir of about 4,500 acres that holds up to 800,000 acre-feet, lies about 4 miles southwest of Hemet near Winchester. Visitor traffic heads that way on weekends; we schedule deliveries accordingly.

New construction

As the planning area builds out, new homes need driveways, and new commercial sites need lots. For new construction, we lay base early so construction traffic has a firm route, then pave once heavy trucks are finished.

Dust

On open ground, grading raises dust. The South Coast AQMD's Rule 403 prohibits construction dust visible beyond the property line and requires track-out cleanup at the end of each day. We water and sweep.

County roads

Winchester is unincorporated, so its roads are Riverside County's. We check with the county before any approach work.

Costs

HomeGuide lists standard asphalt driveways at about $5 to $12 per square foot and recycled asphalt at about $4 to $9. A long rural drive often lands toward the low end per foot. We itemize base, drainage and paving.

Farm traffic

Farm and ranch properties see trucks and equipment. Yards and entrances get a deeper base and thicker asphalt.

Sealing

Seal new asphalt after 3 to 6 months, then every few years in this sun.

Planning around growth

With new neighborhoods planned for the area, some owners are timing paving around nearby construction. We can phase work so new asphalt is not damaged by heavy construction traffic on shared roads.

What the job looks like

1. Walk the property and mark drainage and soft ground. 2. Build and compact the base. 3. Shape the drive to shed water. 4. Pave and roll. 5. Backfill shoulders.

Planning for new roads

If county road work is planned near your property, we can time your apron work around it.

Rural edges

Rural drives have no curbs, and edges break off where tires ride them. We compact the base past the paved width and backfill shoulders so the edges stay supported.

Visitor traffic

Roads toward Diamond Valley Lake carry weekend visitors. We keep trucks off the roads at peak times and the road clean.

Dust

On open lots we water during grading to stay within the South Coast AQMD's Rule 403 limits.

Repair costs

For older rural drives that are still mostly sound, HomeGuide puts crack filling at about $0.50 to $3 per linear foot and pothole repairs at about $100 to $400.

First seal coat

Seal new asphalt after 3 to 6 months.
