Asphalt Paving in Alameda, CA

Asphalt paving in Alameda takes place on an island. Alameda became one when a tidal canal was dredged between 1874 and 1902, and Alameda Point, Bay Farm Island and South Shore are largely built on bay fill. The city sits at about 33 feet, and much of its ground is low and close to the water table. Driveways and lots here need a firm base and careful drainage.

Bay fill

Fill can settle unevenly over time. We check for soft or settled areas and build up the base where needed.

Older homes

Alameda's older neighborhoods have narrow driveways and old trees. We work carefully around them.

Alameda Point

The former Naval Air Station, decommissioned in 1997, is now Alameda Point, with large paved areas and businesses that need repair and maintenance.

Climate

Alameda's average high is about 67 degrees and rain about 22 inches a year.

Access

The island is connected to Oakland by three bridges and the Posey and Webster Street tubes; we plan deliveries so hot mix arrives on time.

At the street

We check the City of Alameda's current encroachment requirements before curb or approach work.

Typical Alameda projects

In the older parts of the island, we replace narrow driveways and patch settled areas, working carefully around old trees and walls. On Bay Farm Island and South Shore, built largely on fill, we watch for settlement and soft spots. At Alameda Point and other commercial areas, we repair and maintain lots and yards. Because the island is low and flat, every job includes a check of how water drains away. Speed limits are 25 mph on almost every road, and streets are busy with bikes and pedestrians, so we plan truck routes and keep work zones safe.

Timing

Alameda's mild climate allows paving most of the year outside the rainy months.
