Learn MoreReach us by phone or through the contact form on this page. We respond within 1 business day - often the same afternoon. Tell us what you need, your property address, and your best time to meet. No pressure, no sales pitch on the first call. We just want to understand the job.
We come to your property to look at the driveway, lot, or surface in person. We check the base condition, drainage, slope, and how much prep work is needed before we put a number together. You get a written, itemized quote - not a vague range. We explain what we found and what we recommend, so you can make an informed decision.
Once you approve the quote, we schedule the job and handle everything - permits if needed, demolition, base work, paving, and cleanup. When we finish, we walk the completed surface with you, point out the drainage slope, explain the curing timeline, and tell you when to schedule your first sealcoat. The job is done when you are satisfied.
We hold a current California contractor's license - verifiable at cslb.ca.gov. Every job is covered by general liability insurance and workers' compensation, so you are protected if anything unexpected happens on your property.
We have been working in Los Gatos and the surrounding South Bay since 2016. We know the clay soils, the hillside driveways, the HOA expectations, and the seasonal paving windows that matter in this area.
Every estimate is free, done in person, and delivered in writing with a full breakdown of scope and cost. We do not quote over the phone without seeing the surface - and we never pad a quote with work you do not need.
We respond to every inquiry within 1 business day. For most projects, we can schedule a site visit within the same week. Busy paving season fills up fast, so calling early gets you the date that works best for your project.

"Our driveway had been cracking for two years and we kept putting it off. The crew showed up on time, finished the whole replacement in one day, and cleaned up completely before they left. It has been two winters now with zero new cracks."
David R., Los Gatos
Asphalt Paving
"We needed the parking lot re-striped before our new tenants moved in. They scheduled us within the week, the lines came out straight and clean, and the accessible stalls were done to code. The whole lot was back in use by noon."
Maria S., Campbell
Parking Lot Striping
"I called about some surface cracks on my driveway and expected a hard sell on full replacement. Instead they told me the base was solid and recommended sealcoating and crack fill. Saved me a lot of money and the driveway looks great."

Yes - UV radiation is the primary reason asphalt fades and cracks in warm, dry climates like Los Gatos's. Unlike colder regions where freeze-thaw cycles cause most damage, here it is prolonged sun exposure that dries out the binder that holds asphalt together. Sealcoating every two to four years is the most effective defense.
The condition of the base is the deciding factor. If cracks appear in an alligator pattern across a wide area, or sections feel soft underfoot, the base has likely failed and full replacement makes more sense. If the base is still solid and problems are limited to surface wear, resurfacing adds years of life at a fraction of the cost.
Water that gets below the asphalt layer weakens the gravel base and causes sections to sink, crack, and crumble. In Los Gatos's hillside terrain, where seasonal rains run quickly across sloped surfaces, proper drainage design is as important as the asphalt itself. Channels, grading, and edge sealing keep water moving in the right direction.
A trustworthy written estimate names the base depth, asphalt thickness, whether demolition and hauling are included, and the drainage plan for your specific property. A price-per-square-foot quote without those details is incomplete. The National Asphalt Pavement Association recommends getting at least two or three written quotes for any project. You can learn more at{" "} asphaltpavement.org.
Both materials perform well in CA's mild climate, but asphalt costs less upfront, is faster to install, and is easier to repair in sections when damage occurs. Concrete lasts longer but cracks from tree roots and soil movement are more expensive to fix. For most residential driveways and commercial lots in the Bay Area, asphalt is the more practical choice.
A new or freshly maintained driveway consistently improves first impressions and is cited by real estate professionals as a project that supports a home's marketability. In a high-value market like Los Gatos, a cracked or stained driveway stands out for the wrong reasons. While no specific ROI can be guaranteed, curb appeal is among the first things buyers and appraisers notice.

Sealcoating makes sense when the base is solid and surface damage is minor - fading, small cracks, or oil stains. If the driveway has widespread cracking, soft spots, or sections that have sunk, the base has likely failed and a full repave is the more cost-effective long-term fix.
Walk your driveway slowly and press down at any cracked area. If the surface flexes or feels spongy underfoot, water has likely weakened the gravel base beneath. A contractor should dig a small test hole at the problem spot before recommending a course of action.
Water enters through cracks and softens the base material below, especially during Los Gatos's wet winters. Once the base weakens, cracks spread quickly and repair costs multiply. Addressing hairline cracks early - with crack sealing and a fresh sealcoat - is far less expensive than waiting.

Los Gatos is a small town at the base of the Santa Cruz Mountains in Santa Clara County, covering about 11.6 square miles with a population of roughly 30,000 within town limits. It is a community of predominantly owner-occupied, single-family homes - from older Craftsman bungalows near downtown Los Gatos to larger hillside estates above Highway 17. That geography means two very different paving environments: flat driveways in the older town core, and steep, winding access roads in the hills where equipment access and drainage design are central to every job.
The clay-rich soils across much of the Santa Clara Valley - identified by USGS as expanding soils common to the foothills region - expand when winter rains arrive and shrink during the long dry summer. That seasonal movement is the primary reason driveways in Los Gatos crack and shift over time, not freeze-thaw cycles as in colder states. Properties near Vasona Lake County Park, up toward the Santa Cruz Mountains, and throughout the older hillside neighborhoods all see the effects of this ground movement every few years. Los Gatos Asphalt Paving Company has worked across all of these areas since 2016 and designs every job around the soil and drainage conditions of the specific property.
