Rich's Paving takes on asphalt paving in Richmond, CA, and getting there is easy for us. Our yard sits in Petaluma, and Richmond is about 33 miles down Highway 101 and straight across the Richmond–San Rafael Bridge. That makes it the closest East Bay city to us, closer than parts of Sonoma County we already pave. Richard Stanley is a third generation paving contractor, and his son works beside him on the crew. The family has paved since 1988, and we bring our own paver, roller, and dump trucks over the bridge.
Richmond grew fast during the war years, when the Kaiser shipyards pulled the population from about 23,000 to near 115,000 in two years. The Rosie the Riveter national park on the waterfront tells that story today. A lot of the housing stock still dates to the decades right after, and the driveways show their age. Point Richmond holds the original town center, Marina Bay fills the old shipyard ground, and the Hilltop District carries the newer subdivisions. Each of those sits on different ground, and the ground decides how we build.

Richmond is a working city with a working port, and commercial pavement takes a beating here. Truck traffic runs to the Port of Richmond and the industrial blocks around it every day. Storefront lots line Macdonald Avenue and 23rd Street, and the Hilltop area carries the big retail fields. We handle commercial paving in Richmond: new lots, overlays, patching, striping, and ADA stalls, phased so your business keeps running.
Ground matters more in Richmond than most owners expect. The city has 32 miles of shoreline, and much of the land near the water is fill sitting over soft bay mud. Pavement on that ground moves and settles, and the city's own general plan flags it. We look at what is under a failed lot before we quote the fix, because asphalt repair only holds if the base under it does.
Home driveways here range from tight Point Richmond lanes to the wide concrete aprons of the newer Hilltop and Country Club Vista tracts. Much of Richmond's housing went up in the 1950s and 1960s, and plenty of driveways are original. Old asphalt that has gone gray and cracked can often be overlaid if the base is sound. We handle driveway paving for Richmond homes, tear-outs included when the base is gone.
On the hill streets of East Richmond Heights and around Mira Vista, drainage decides how long pavement lasts. Richmond gets over 20 inches of rain a year, nearly all of it in winter. We shape grading and drainage so water sheds off the surface instead of soaking the base. Where a driveway needs a harder edge, we pour concrete driveways and aprons too.
