The crew showed up on time and finished the driveway in one day, just like they said they would. The base prep took longer than I expected but they explained why - the old base had shifted with the clay soil. The result is solid and looks great.
Marcus T., Pasadena - Asphalt paving
I had the parking lot at my small commercial building re-striped and sealed in the same week. The lines are crisp and the accessible spaces are done correctly - I had some concerns about compliance and they walked me through exactly what was required.
Diana R., Arcadia - Parking lot striping
My driveway had been cracking in the same two spots for years. Every patch held for a season and then opened back up. They came out, looked at the base, and explained that the soil was moving underneath. The repair they did has held through two rainy seasons.

UV radiation breaks down the asphalt binder - the material that holds the aggregate together. In Altadena and the San Gabriel Valley, where strong sun arrives nearly every day, this oxidation happens faster than in most other parts of the country. Sealcoating blocks UV rays and is the most effective way to slow this process.
Repair is the right call when the base is still solid and damage is limited to a section of the surface. Replacement is needed when alligator cracking covers a large area, the surface is sinking, or the driveway is past 20 years old. A qualified contractor can tell you which one makes sense after a brief on-site look.
The clay-rich soils common in the Los Angeles foothills expand when wet and shrink when dry. This seasonal movement stresses the pavement from below. If the base layer was not built thick enough or compacted properly, that movement cracks the surface in the same spots repeatedly - patching the top does not fix the root cause.
Sealcoating a new driveway six to twelve months after installation locks in the binder before UV damage begins and prevents moisture from entering the surface during winter rains. Over a 20-year lifespan, the cost of regular sealing is a fraction of what it costs to replace a driveway that was never maintained.
Asphalt paving and sealcoating both require a dry surface and dry forecast - typically at least 48 to 72 hours without rain before and after the job. Altadena's rainy season runs roughly November through March, making late spring through early fall the most reliable scheduling window. Your contractor should track the forecast and build that into the timeline.
California requires paving contractors to hold a state license - verify any license number at cslb.ca.gov before signing. Beyond the license, ask for a written, itemized estimate covering base preparation, materials, and warranty. The National Asphalt Pavement Association publishes guidance on contractor standards and what good paving practice looks like.
Altadena Asphalt Paving is a licensed and insured asphalt paving contractor based in Altadena, CA, serving 12 communities across the San Gabriel Valley since 2017. We hold a current California contractor's license issued by the California Contractors State License Board (CSLB), which you can verify at cslb.ca.gov. Our crews have completed paving, sealcoating, and repair jobs across residential and commercial properties throughout the foothill communities, and we offer 16 services to address every asphalt and concrete need a property owner might have. Learn more about how we work on our About page.
Sealcoating works best on a structurally sound surface with only minor surface oxidation or hairline cracks. If your driveway has alligator cracking, sinking sections, or large open cracks, sealing over them does not fix the underlying problem - it just delays a more expensive repair.
Altadena rarely sees hard freezes, so traditional freeze-thaw damage is not a major concern here. The primary threats are UV oxidation from the strong sun and soil movement from expansive clay. That said, occasional light frost in the upper foothill neighborhoods can stress older concrete flatwork.
Asphalt that goes a decade without sealing or crack repair typically reaches the point where resurfacing or full replacement is the only practical option. Regular maintenance over the same period would cost a fraction of that. The best time to start a maintenance schedule is before visible damage appears.
For technical standards on asphalt pavement construction and maintenance, the Asphalt Institute publishes widely used guidelines for contractors and property owners. Ready to schedule an assessment? Call (323) 329-3072 or send us a message.
Altadena is an unincorporated community in Los Angeles County, sitting at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains just north of Pasadena. The area is known for its older, established neighborhoods - many homes were built between the 1920s and 1960s on generous lots with long driveways and mature trees. Landmarks like Christmas Tree Lane on Santa Rosa Avenue and Eaton Canyon Natural Area reflect the community's foothill character - a mix of residential neighborhoods, natural open space, and older homes that require regular maintenance.
The conditions here - clay-rich soils that shift seasonally, strong year-round sun, occasional winter rains, and hillside lots with drainage challenges - are exactly the conditions that put asphalt surfaces to work. Permits and inspections for work in Altadena go through Los Angeles County, not a city building department, and contractors who work here regularly know that process. Altadena Asphalt Paving has been serving Altadena homeowners and businesses since 2017 and understands what the local environment demands from paved surfaces.
