Driveway Paving
New asphalt driveways, replacements and resurfacing for homes across Sonoma County. We handle the grading, the base and the paving with our own equipment and crew.
Rich's Paving offers asphalt paving in Corte Madera, CA, for driveways, along with the drainage and concrete walks around them. Our family paving company is in its third generation and has been paving Sonoma County since 1988. We travel here from our Petaluma yard, and we take on commercial lot work too, including parking lot paving. We come out first to see the site and check the ground, and every estimate comes in writing.
The Town of Corte Madera takes in coastal marshland and rolling hillsides, with views of Mount Tamalpais. Down on the bay side, the Mariner Cove and Marina Village neighborhoods were built on filled baylands in the 1950s. The Town says parts of that ground have settled as much as four feet since the homes went in. Settling there has left some storm drain pipes that no longer flow the way they were designed to.

Much of Corte Madera is relatively flat, so the Town has built nine pump stations to move storm runoff. The Town says flooding can come from rain storms and tides, and Bay tides can affect its storm drain system. In early January 2026, king tides, low air pressure and storm surge helped flood low-lying parts of town. As for rain, NOAA's 1991 to 2020 averages for nearby Kentfield come to 44.39 inches a year. Part of town also lies in a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area.
Our grading and drainage work comes first, with a grade and cross slope that move water to a safe edge. A low spot with nowhere to drain gets a catch basin, and a soggy yard may need french drain installation. Sanitary District No. 2 code bars connecting downspouts and surface drains to the sanitary sewer system. So our drains run to a safe outlet on the property, and the paving goes in once they are set.
Census data puts the median year built for homes in Corte Madera at 1960. Many older drives here are past their first life, so we resurface the sound ones and replace the failed ones. Wide cracks that keep spreading, or soft spots that sink under a tire, usually point to a failed base. The Town calls the evacuation routes in its hillside neighborhoods steep, narrow and limited, Christmas Tree Hill among them. On a steep drive up there, rain runs fast, so we shape the grade to shed it to the side.
Under the Town's sidewalk program, the Town will split the cost of sidewalk replacements up to $1,000. Its total contribution is capped at $5,000 for each residential property and $2,000 for each commercial property. For the sidewalk grant application, the Town asks property owners to obtain two quotes. The grant is run by the Town, so ask the Town about its current terms before you apply. We pour concrete sidewalks and walkways, and we can hand you a written estimate after a site visit.
