Asphalt Paving in Union City, CA

Asphalt paving in Union City serves a city formed in 1959 when the communities of Alvarado and Decoto merged. Alvarado had the California Beet Sugar Company, which began operating in 1870 and is described as the first successful sugar beet mill in the United States; the plant was demolished in 1977. Union City now has 70,143 residents and 21,911 homes.

Older and newer neighborhoods

Older homes in the Alvarado and Decoto areas often have narrow driveways and old approaches. Newer neighborhoods have wider driveways that mostly need maintenance. We assess each to recommend replacement, overlay or sealcoat.

Weather

Union City averages a high of about 69 degrees and about 15.19 inches of rain a year. Pavement ages mainly from sun and winter rain; crack sealing and sealcoat are worthwhile.

Commercial

Union City has four Interstate 880 exits and Mission Boulevard running through. Retail centers and businesses along those routes need lot repair and striping.

The fault

The Hayward Fault runs through Union City; cracks on its trace reopen over time.

At the street

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

BART

The Union City BART station, open since 1972 and rebuilt in 2007, anchors nearby apartment and commercial lots that need regular sealcoat and restriping.

Typical Union City projects

Older homes near Decoto and old Alvarado often need full driveway replacement with a new base. Homes built since the 1980s usually need crack sealing, sealcoat or an overlay. Apartment complexes and shopping centers along Alvarado-Niles Road, Decoto Road and Mission Boulevard need lot repairs and restriping with accessible spaces. On flat lots, we pay close attention to grading; on the hillside streets east of Mission Boulevard, we focus on runoff and edge support.

Scheduling

We pave in dry months and seal cracks in late summer before the rains.
