Serving Menifee, CA and surrounding areas. (909) 760-1549
Your driveway takes a beating from Menifee summers, clay soils, and winter rains. We build asphalt driveways that hold up - starting with the base, not just the surface.
Driveway paving in Menifee means removing your old surface, grading the ground, laying a compacted gravel base, and finishing with hot mix asphalt rolled flat - most residential jobs are done in one to two days on-site.
A lot of Menifee homeowners come to us after a driveway has cracked, settled, or started pooling water after winter rain. The fix is not always a full replacement - sometimes asphalt repair is the right call. But when the base has failed or damage is widespread, a new driveway built right from the ground up is the investment that pays off over 20 to 30 years.
The gravel base is the part most homeowners never see - and the part that determines how long your driveway lasts. We do not skip that step.
When cracks cover most of the surface or edges are breaking apart, patching is no longer cost-effective. At that point, a fresh surface from a proper new installation will outlast any patchwork by years.
Standing water after Menifee's winter rain events means the surface has settled unevenly or was never graded correctly. Pooling water accelerates damage and can push runoff toward your garage or foundation.
If your driveway flexes or shows tire marks from normal parking, the base beneath has weakened. Laying new asphalt over a failed base just delays the same problem - the base needs to be rebuilt first.
An RV, boat trailer, or heavy truck puts far more stress on a driveway than a passenger car. If the surface was not built for that load, ruts and cracking follow quickly. A replacement can be specified for the weight you actually park on it.
Most of our driveway projects start with a full removal and replacement - old surface out, base rebuilt to the right depth, fresh hot mix asphalt in. For homeowners whose surface is worn on top but still structurally sound below, we also offer asphalt paving options that resurface over a solid existing base. Either way, the job is sized to your property and matched to how you use your driveway.
If you are adding a new driveway to a bare dirt pad - common in Menifee with new ADUs, garage additions, and ongoing residential construction - we handle the full process from grading through final paving. For properties with drainage concerns, we also work with asphalt repair on a section-by-section basis when only part of the surface needs attention.
Suits homeowners with a failed base, widespread cracking, or a surface that has passed the point of repair.
Suits new construction, ADU additions, and properties with an unpaved parking area that needs a proper surface.
Suits homeowners whose existing base is still sound but the top layer is worn, faded, or showing surface cracks.
Suits properties that regularly park RVs, trailers, or commercial vehicles - built thicker and to a higher load spec.
Menifee sits in the Inland Empire at about 1,400 feet elevation, and summers here regularly push past 100 degrees. That kind of heat softens fresh asphalt and accelerates UV oxidation on any unprotected surface. Contractors who use an asphalt mix formulated for high-temperature stability - rather than a general-purpose mix - are protecting your investment from the start. The National Asphalt Pavement Association sets industry guidelines for mix design in high-heat environments that serious contractors follow.
The clay-heavy soils found throughout the Menifee Valley add another challenge. Clay expands when it absorbs winter rain and shrinks as it dries out in summer - that repeated movement cracks driveways from below, not just from above. Homeowners in Sun City with older driveways often see this pattern clearly. In newer subdivisions near Perris and throughout Menifee, proper base preparation from day one is what separates a driveway that holds for 25 years from one that needs work again in five.
Call or fill out our contact form. We reply within one business day to talk through what you are seeing and schedule a free on-site visit. No commitment required at this stage.
We come to your property, measure the area, check the existing surface and soil, and give you a written estimate covering materials, labor, and any permit fees. We will also tell you whether full replacement or resurfacing makes more sense for your situation.
On paving day the crew removes your old surface, grades the ground, and compacts the gravel base. This foundation step often takes most of the first day - it is the most important part of the job.
Hot mix asphalt is delivered, spread, and rolled. Most residential driveways are paved the same day the base work is complete. We finish the edges, clean up, and walk you through curing time before we leave - typically 48 to 72 hours before parking.
We will come out, look at your property, and give you a written estimate with no obligation. Most callbacks happen within one business day.
(909) 760-1549We hold a valid California contractor's license - you can verify any contractor's status on the CSLB website. That license is your protection: it means the work meets state standards and you have legal recourse if something goes wrong.
Verify a license at CSLBWe prepare every base with the region's expansive clay soils in mind - proper depth, correct compaction, and material choices that resist the seasonal swell-and-shrink cycle. That step is not visible when the job is done, but it determines whether your driveway lasts 5 years or 25.
We use asphalt mixes rated for Southern California's heat. That means your driveway will not rut or deform under tires during a July heat wave. Specifying the right mix upfront is something many low-bid contractors skip.
You get a written quote before we schedule anything, and we walk you through exactly what to expect during curing before the crew leaves. No chasing us down for answers - you know the timeline from day one.
Every detail - from base depth to mix selection to how we grade for drainage - reflects years of working in Menifee and the surrounding Inland Empire. When you hire us, you are hiring people who know exactly what this climate and these soils demand.
