Serving Altadena, CA and surrounding areas. (323) 329-3072
Altadena Asphalt Paving serves Altadena, CA with asphalt paving, driveway paving, and crack sealing, and has been working in this foothill community since 2017 - responding within one business day and pulling all required LA County permits.
Altadena homes on larger older lots often have long driveways that have been in place for decades, and a full-depth asphalt pave gives them a solid, even surface that handles the clay-soil movement common in this area. If your driveway is cracking across its full width or sinking in spots, our asphalt paving service replaces the surface from the base up rather than just patching over problems.
Craftsman bungalows and Spanish Colonial revival homes throughout Altadena typically sit on lots with long, single-car driveways that were built in the 1930s or 1940s and are long past due for replacement. A new driveway installation addresses root damage, uneven settling, and surface oxidation all at once, and we grade for proper drainage before we lay the asphalt.
Altadena's dry summer heat oxidizes asphalt binder and opens hairline cracks before they become wide fractures. Sealing those cracks early keeps winter rain from soaking into the base layer, where it causes the most damage. This is the most cost-effective maintenance you can do to extend the life of any Altadena driveway or parking surface.
Many Altadena properties in the upper foothill neighborhoods sit on sloped or terraced lots where drainage runs toward the house if grading is not done correctly. We excavate and regrade before any paving project to make sure water flows away from structures and does not undermine the new surface over time.
Winter rains push water through cracks in aging Altadena pavement, eroding the base layer and creating potholes that grow with each freeze-thaw or heavy-rain cycle. Patching done correctly removes the deteriorated material, fills with compacted hot-mix asphalt, and seals the edges so the repair holds through the next rainy season.
Hillside lots in upper Altadena can collect runoff from the San Gabriel Mountain foothills, and inadequate drainage undermines asphalt surfaces faster than any other single cause. Installing channel drains, French drains, or catch basins as part of a paving project protects the investment and is often required by LA County for sloped properties.
Altadena sits at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains, and that foothill location creates pavement conditions that flatland contractors rarely encounter. The soils here contain significant clay content. That clay swells when winter rain soaks in and shrinks during the long dry summer, and that movement works against any pavement surface that was not installed on a properly compacted base. The cycle repeats every year, and it is the primary reason so many driveways in this community crack, shift, and settle faster than the homeowner expects.
Because Altadena is an unincorporated community, all permits and inspections run through Los Angeles County Public Works, not a local city hall. Contractors who mainly work inside incorporated cities sometimes run into delays when they encounter the county system for the first time. We pull LA County permits regularly and understand what the inspectors look for, which keeps your project on schedule.
We have been working throughout Altadena since 2017, pulling permits from the LA County permit office regularly and running jobs on everything from compact craftsman bungalow lots near Farnsworth Park to steep hillside properties above Eaton Canyon. The upper neighborhoods off Lincoln Avenue and the streets that climb toward the San Gabriel Mountains require different equipment staging than a flat suburban job, and we plan for that before arrival.
Altadena is bordered by Pasadena to the south, and many of our customers in this community also have projects going in the neighboring areas. Christmas Tree Lane on Santa Rosa Avenue gives the community one of its most recognized landmarks, and we know the surrounding blocks and their older driveways well. If you are on the east side near the Eaton Canyon wash, the west side near Fair Oaks Avenue, or anywhere in between, we cover all of Altadena. We also serve nearby Pasadena and the surrounding foothill cities if you need coverage across areas.

(323) 329-3072Altadena is an unincorporated community of roughly 43,000 people in Los Angeles County, situated directly north of Pasadena at the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains. Because it has no city government of its own, Altadena residents interact with LA County for permits, road maintenance, and code enforcement rather than a city hall. The housing stock reflects the community's long history, with many homes dating to the 1920s through the 1960s, including craftsman bungalows, Spanish Colonial revival properties, and mid-century ranch houses on generous lots. Lake Avenue and Fair Oaks Avenue are the main north-south corridors connecting the community to the 210 freeway corridor to the south.
The northern edge of Altadena climbs into the foothills, and those upper neighborhoods face steeper slopes, more vegetation, and higher fire-hazard designations than the flatter southern sections. Eaton Canyon Natural Area, a county park at the base of the mountains, anchors the northeast corner of the community and draws hikers from across the region. Christmas Tree Lane on Santa Rosa Avenue, lit every December since 1920, is recognized as a California Historical Landmark and one of the most recognized streets in the area. Homeowners throughout Altadena tend to invest in their properties over the long term, and with homes that are 60 to 100 years old, driveways, concrete flatwork, and grading are recurring maintenance needs. We also serve the neighboring community of Pasadena directly to the south.
