Driveways in Piedmont
Asphalt paving in Piedmont is careful residential work on hillside properties. Piedmont is a small city of 11,270 people on 1.70 square miles, entirely surrounded by Oakland, and 86.4 percent of its 3,947 homes are owner-occupied. Highland Avenue divides it into upper and lower sections, with larger lots on average in upper Piedmont. Known in the 1920s as the City of Millionaires, Piedmont has many older homes with long, landscaped driveways.
Slopes and runoff
Piedmont sits at about 331 feet in the hills, and many driveways are steep. We compact in short sections, design drainage at bends and garages, and support edges against erosion.
Near the fault
Piedmont lies near the Hayward Fault. Where fault-related cracks appear, we seal them with flexible material.
Older estates
Historic homes often have stone walls, old trees and narrow access. We protect them and use smaller equipment where needed.
At the street
We check the City of Piedmont's current encroachment requirements before any curb or approach work.
Typical work
- Replacing aging driveways on estate lots
- Rebuilding eroded edges
- Drains at garages below the street
- Resurfacing and sealcoat
History
Piedmont incorporated in 1907 and became a charter city in 1922. Many of its homes date from the early decades of the city, and their driveways have been rebuilt several times since.
Getting started
We walk the property with you, note drainage, trees and walls, and provide a written scope.
