Driveway Paving
New asphalt driveways, replacements and resurfacing for homes across Sonoma County. We handle the grading, the base and the paving with our own equipment and crew.
Rich's Paving does asphalt paving in Cotati, CA, about ten minutes up Highway 101 from our yard in Petaluma. Cotati is small, under two square miles, and most houses went up after the town incorporated in 1963. That means a lot of driveways here are sixty years old, paved thin and patched more than once. Rich's Paving is a third generation family paving company, and the family works the crew today. We have paved Sonoma County since 1988, and we bring our own paver, roller and dump trucks. A single-family driveway in Cotati is usually a one day job.
Downtown Cotati sits around La Plaza Park, the six-sided plaza platted in 1892 and now a state historical landmark. Streets ring it in a hexagon instead of a grid, so blocks are short and lots sit at odd angles. Old Redwood Highway runs through the middle of town, and East Cotati Avenue carries traffic out to the SMART station. Cotati sits in the Laguna de Santa Rosa basin, on flat adobe clay that swells wet and drains slowly. Standing water is what kills a driveway, so we set grade before we set asphalt. If your slab or apron is the problem instead, we also pour concrete driveways in Cotati.

Most of the driveways we repave in Cotati were built with the house, decades ago. The old asphalt is gray and dry, the edges have crumbled, and cracks run the length of it. That is normal for pavement that has sat through sixty North Bay summers. Sun dries the asphalt out, then winter rain gets into the cracks and soaks the base.
We tear out the old surface, regrade and compact the base, then lay hot mix and roll it flat. A short town driveway takes one day. If the base is still solid, an overlay costs less, and we will say so when we look at it. That is asphalt driveway paving done by the same people who pave in Petaluma and Rohnert Park.
Some Cotati driveways do not need to come out at all. A sunken spot by the garage or a broken edge along the street can be patched. We saw out the bad section, dig down to solid ground, and fill it back with hot mix. Asphalt repair costs less than a full replacement and buys years on pavement that is still sound.
Once the surface is in good shape, sealcoat keeps the sun off it. Cotati summers are long and dry, and bare asphalt turns gray and brittle without a coat on top. We reseal home driveways and the small lots along Old Redwood Highway and East Cotati Avenue. Ask about asphalt sealcoating when we come out to look at the job.
