Asphalt Paving in Newark, CA

Asphalt paving in Newark happens on some of the lowest, flattest ground in the area. Newark sits at about 20 feet near the southern end of San Francisco Bay and is an enclave surrounded by Fremont. Cargill Salt, formerly Leslie Salt, runs a large refinery here that cleans salt from evaporation ponds in the bay. On ground this low and flat, drainage and base strength are the main concerns for any driveway or lot.

Flat lots

Water drains slowly on flat ground. We set grades with instruments so the surface falls to the street or a drain, and dig out soft subgrade before building the base.

Industry

Newark's industrial history includes Wedgewood stoves, A.O. Smith water heaters, Peterbilt trucks and Trailmobile semi-trailers, and its top employer in 2025 was Lucid Motors. Industrial yards and commercial lots need heavy-duty sections and regular maintenance.

Climate

Newark averages about 14.31 inches of rain a year and a mean high of about 68 degrees. Sun and winter rain age pavement; sealcoat and crack sealing protect it.

Roads

State Route 84 runs through the city and continues as the Dumbarton Bridge; I-880 forms the eastern boundary.

At the street

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

Homes

Newark's 15,371 homes were 68.1 percent owner-occupied in 2020. Many date from the decades after the city incorporated in 1955, and their driveways are due for replacement or overlay.

Typical Newark projects

The usual residential work in Newark is replacing driveways that have settled or cracked on the soft, flat ground, and adding width for extra cars. Commercial and industrial properties along Cedar Boulevard, Central Avenue and the industrial areas near the bay need yard and lot work, from full-depth repairs where trucks turn to sealcoat and striping. We check subgrade carefully on every job, since soft ground is the most common cause of early failure here. Lots near NewPark Mall and other retail centers need regular restriping with accessible spaces.

Timing

Newark's dry season is long; we pave from spring through fall and seal cracks before the rains.
