Asphalt Paving in Benicia, CA

Asphalt paving in Benicia covers a historic downtown, hillside neighborhoods and industrial land along the Carquinez Strait. Benicia incorporated in 1850, one of California's first cities, and served as the state capital from February 1853 to February 1854. It is across the strait from Martinez, reached by the Benicia-Martinez Bridge, and Interstate 780 runs through town with five exits. Its 11,377 housing units were 69.6 percent owner-occupied in 2020.

Historic properties

Older downtown homes often have narrow driveways, retaining walls and old curbs. We work carefully around them and keep grades that protect foundations.

Hills and the strait

Benicia's hillside neighborhoods send runoff downhill toward the water. Driveways on slopes need grading, curbs or drains that carry water past the pavement rather than under it.

Industry and commercial lots

The Valero refinery, completed by Humble Oil in 1969, and the industrial park bring heavy truck traffic. Commercial and industrial lots need heavier sections, and we phase work around operations.

Solano County rules

Benicia is in Solano County, so work at the street follows City of Benicia requirements. We check before planning approach or curb work.

Typical Benicia jobs

In Benicia's historic core, driveways are often short and narrow, with old curbs and retaining walls close by. On the hills, driveways can be steep and carry runoff. In newer neighborhoods, driveways are wider and mainly need sealcoat and crack sealing. We also pave and maintain lots for businesses in the industrial park and for churches and schools. Because winds off the strait dry pavement quickly, a sealcoat every few years is worthwhile. Benicia had 10,957 occupied homes in 2020 and a vacancy rate of 3.7 percent, and many are owned by long-term residents who maintain them carefully.

Arsenal and waterfront areas

The former Benicia Arsenal, which the Army closed between 1960 and 1964, is now home to businesses and artists' studios, with older paved areas that often need patching and resurfacing. Near the waterfront, low ground and old fill can be soft, and we check the subgrade before paving there.
