Frequently Asked Questions

New asphalt paving in Chico can last anywhere from 15 to 20 years with proper maintenance. The lifespan depends on factors like traffic volume, drainage, and regular sealcoating, which helps protect it from our intense summer sun and winter rains. We always recommend a good base preparation to ensure longevity, especially with our local soil variations. Regular inspections can also catch small issues before they become bigger problems.
The typical process for asphalt driveway installation in Chico begins with site preparation, including excavation and grading to ensure proper drainage. Next, we lay down a compacted aggregate base, which is crucial for stability, especially with our regional soil types. Then, we apply the hot asphalt mix in layers, compacting each layer thoroughly. Finally, the driveway needs time to cure before heavy use, usually a few days.
The best time of year to get asphalt paving done in Chico is typically during the warmer, drier months, from late spring through early fall. This allows the asphalt to cure properly without the interference of heavy rains or freezing temperatures, which can affect the material's integrity. Working during these months ensures the best possible adhesion and longevity for your new surface. We often see projects around the summer months when the weather is most predictable.
You generally do not need a permit for minor repairs or resurfacing of an existing asphalt driveway or parking lot on private property in Chico. However, if you are expanding the paved area, changing drainage patterns significantly, or doing new construction, a permit from the City of Chico Planning Department may be required. It's always a good idea to check with us or the city's building department for specific project requirements before starting any major work.
To maintain your asphalt driveway in Chico, regular cleaning, crack sealing, and sealcoating are key. Sweeping away debris and hosing it down helps prevent buildup, while promptly sealing any cracks stops water from seeping underneath and causing damage, especially with our winter moisture. Sealcoating every 2-3 years protects the surface from UV rays and oxidation, which are significant concerns with our hot summer sun. Avoiding heavy vehicle parking in the same spot also helps prevent indentations.
