Rich's Paving handles asphalt paving in Concord, CA, the largest city in Contra Costa County with about 124,000 people. We run out from Petaluma, roughly 47 miles by way of Highway 37, I-80, and the Benicia–Martinez Bridge. Richard Stanley is a third generation paving contractor, his son works the same crew, and the family has paved since 1988. We bring our own equipment, so a Concord job gets the same paver and roller as a job around the corner from our yard.
Concord is a postwar city almost from scratch. It held 1,373 people in 1940 and 36,208 by 1960, and whole neighborhoods of ranch homes went in during that run. Sun Terrace and Holbrook Heights still carry their 1960s driveways, many on the original thin base. Summers here run hot, with July days pushing toward 90 and past 110 on record. That heat bakes the oils out of asphalt faster than anywhere else we work, which is why so many Concord driveways have gone gray and brittle.

The valley floor under Concord runs to expansive clay, and the county's own planning documents flag it. Clay swells with the winter rain, about 18 inches in a normal year, then shrinks hard through the long dry summer. Pavement over a thin base moves with that cycle and cracks in the same places every year. Our asphalt driveway paving in Concord starts with base depth matched to that clay.
Heat does the rest of the damage. A south facing driveway in Clayton Valley Highlands takes full sun most of the year. The surface dries out, fades, and gets brittle enough to crack under a turning tire. Sealcoating for Concord driveways puts the protection back and is the cheapest year you can add to a driveway's life. When cracks have already connected, we handle repair and patching first.
Concord's commercial pavement clusters along Willow Pass Road, Concord Avenue, Clayton Road, and Monument Boulevard. Shopping centers like Sunvalley and The Willows carry big parking fields that wear out lane by lane. The blocks around Buchanan Field Airport hold offices and light industry with their own lots and truck aprons. We take on parking lot paving in Concord: overlays, reconstruction, striping, and ADA stalls, phased to keep you open.
We also pour concrete where the job calls for it. Concrete driveways, walks, and dumpster pads go in alongside asphalt on the same site visit. On sloped lots at the edge of the valley we shape grading and drainage so runoff leaves the pavement instead of pooling on it. Call (707) 217-0835 or get a Concord paving estimate and we will look at the whole picture.
