Asphalt Paving in Vine Hill, CA

Asphalt paving in Vine Hill is mostly residential: replacing, resurfacing and sealing driveways for a compact, owner-occupied community 2.25 miles east of downtown Martinez. Vine Hill covers about 1.5 square miles and had 1,511 housing units in 2020, 70.6 percent of them owner-occupied. It first appeared in the census in 1980 as Vine Hill-Pacheco and took its current name in 1990.

Unincorporated, so County rules apply

Because Vine Hill is unincorporated, work in the road right-of-way goes through Contra Costa County Public Works. The County's standard conditions require the driveway to slope so stormwater does not run onto the road, require any curb, gutter or sidewalk removed for a driveway to be saw cut at the nearest joint, and set a minimum asphalt driveway section of 2 inches over 6 inches of Class 2 aggregate base.

Typical jobs

Many Vine Hill homes have driveways that are cracked and faded but sound underneath; those are good candidates for crack sealing and sealcoat, or for an overlay. Where the base has failed, we remove and rebuild.

Drainage

We check that water moves off the driveway toward the street or a drain and away from the garage and house.

Planning your Vine Hill project

Vine Hill's homes vary in age, and many driveways have been patched over the years. We look at each patch to see whether it has held or settled, which tells us about the base. If most patches are sound, an overlay can give the driveway a uniform new surface. If they have sunk, the base needs rebuilding. Since Vine Hill sits close to the Highway 4 and I-680 corridor, many homes also have work vehicles that need parking space. Population grew from 3,761 in 2010 to 4,323 in 2020, so some newer homes have driveways that only need early maintenance.
