Paving in Central County's Biggest City

Asphalt paving in Concord covers some of the busiest commercial lots in the county as well as tens of thousands of driveways. Concord had 125,410 residents and 47,597 housing units at the 2020 census, about 59 percent of them owner-occupied. Founded as Todos Santos in 1869 by Don Salvio Pacheco, the city now sits at the junction of I-680 and State Routes 4 and 242, and its shopping centers, office parks and apartment complexes all need regular paving, sealcoat and striping.

Concord's weather

Concord averages about 45 days a year at or above 90 degrees and fewer than 4 days at or below freezing. Average precipitation is 23.91 inches, much more than in East County, and the wettest year on record brought 46.62 inches. Heat ages the surface; rain finds every crack. Sealcoat and crack sealing before winter are the main upkeep.

City rules at the street

Concord Municipal Code Chapter 12.15 requires a permit before any encroachment or alteration in a right-of-way. Applicants must carry at least $1,000,000 in general liability insurance naming the City and post a deposit to cover restoration. Work must start within 90 days of issuance, and the permittee is responsible for repairs for one year after completion. The code also bars new cuts into a freshly paved street for five years, or two years after a slurry seal, unless the City Engineer grants an exception, which affects when approach and utility work can be scheduled.

Commercial work

We overlay and patch retail and office lots in phases, seal and restripe on the same visit, and lay out accessible stalls to the 2010 ADA Standards.

Neighborhood variety

Concord's neighborhoods range from mid-century homes in the older parts of town to newer developments near the hills and the former Naval Weapons Station land. Older driveways are often narrow and built on minimal base, and many have been patched several times; they usually need replacement. Newer driveways are more likely to need sealcoat and crack sealing. Concord's Buchanan Field area, its retail corridors and its many apartment complexes keep commercial work steady: overlays, patching, sealcoat, ADA-compliant restriping. We phase work around business hours and keep at least one entrance open where the layout allows.

Concord Questions

Can my driveway approach be replaced if the City just repaved my street?

It may be restricted. Concord's code bars cuts into a newly paved street for five years, with exceptions granted by the City Engineer. We check before planning approach work.

Do you work on Concord shopping center lots?

Yes: overlays, patching, sealcoat and striping, phased around business hours.

How often should Concord driveways be sealed?

Every few years. With hot summers and more rain than East County, keeping cracks sealed before winter matters.

How long will a Concord encroachment permit be valid?

Under the City code, work must begin within 90 days of issuance unless the permit says otherwise.

What happens if the street is damaged during my approach work?

The permittee is responsible for repairing damage from the work for one year after completion under the City code. We restore anything we disturb.
