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 provides asphalt paving in Fairfield, CA, covering home driveways plus parking lots at businesses and HOAs. We run our jobs from a Petaluma yard, and Fairfield is about 32 miles east in a straight line. Solano County is among the five counties we cover from there, and our trucks travel to each job. We are a family company now in its third generation, with Sonoma County paving work going back to 1988. Every job starts with a visit, so we can see the site and put our estimate in writing.
Fairfield is home to about 120,000 people, according to Census figures. Our driveway paving in Fairfield covers new driveways and old ones that need to come out and be rebuilt. Either way, we start by checking the base and the way water drains off the surface. Business lots and HOA lots wear in a different way, with delivery trucks and parked cars on the same spots. For parking lot paving in Fairfield, our cold milling machine can grind off the worn top layer first.

Census figures show a median build year of 1986 for Fairfield homes, about 40 years ago. Homes built in the 1980s make up the largest share of any decade, about one in five. About half of all homes in the city went up between 1970 and 1999. Every home from those three decades is now more than 25 years old. If a driveway there was never replaced, its asphalt and base may be just as old.
At NOAA's Fairfield weather station, the 1991 to 2020 normals put about 15 inches of rain from December through February. That winter rain seeps into open cracks and can soften the base under the asphalt. Where the base is still firm, asphalt resurfacing can cap the old driveway with a layer of fresh asphalt. Settled or badly cracked sections come out first, and asphalt repair rebuilds the base under them. When the base has failed across the whole driveway, it all comes out and gets rebuilt before paving.
Work in city-owned right-of-way or a city-owned easement needs an encroachment permit from the City of Fairfield. Widening or installing a driveway apron is on the City's list. So is repairing or installing curb, gutter or sidewalk next to a city street. The list also covers tying a private on-site storm drain line into the public storm drain system. We sort out which of these items your driveway work touches before we price it.
The City says it is currently short-staffed and is bringing on new staff to help with encroachment permits. During that time, it tells applicants to expect 4 to 6 weeks from the first submittal to approval. That wait has to come before any work in the right-of-way, so we plan the permit early. Once it is approved, we set the paving date and bring in the crew. The same permit applies when a business lot's entrance or curb work reaches the City's right-of-way.
