Asphalt and Concrete Paving in Novato

Rich's Paving handles asphalt paving in Novato, CA. We work out of Petaluma, about 11 miles north on Highway 101, so Novato is a short run for us. The city sits at the top of Marin County, right over the Sonoma line. Rich's Paving is a third generation family paving company, and the family works the crew today. We have paved in Sonoma County since 1988, and we bring our own equipment and crew into Marin. We pave home driveways here, and we pave and stripe small commercial lots along the 101 corridor.

Novato covers about 28 square miles, more ground than any other city in Marin. San Marin and Pleasant Valley are full of ranch homes from the 1950s and 1960s. Those driveways have been patched for years, and many sit on a thin base. Hamilton went up on the old Air Force base in the late 1990s, so its drives are newer. Homes in the hills off Novato Boulevard have steep, curving drives that need a heavier build. Bel Marin Keys sits low by the water, where the ground stays soft and drainage rules the job. We look at the grade, the soil and the runoff before we quote asphalt driveway paving in Novato.

Driveway paving on Novato hills and older ranch lots

Novato's west and south sides run up into oak hills, and Big Rock Ridge rises to the southwest. A driveway on that slope has to shed water off the edge, or it gets under the asphalt. We grade the ground first, set a rock base, then pave over it. On steep cuts we build retaining walls in Novato to hold the bank back.

Ranch homes in Pleasant Valley and Loma Verde date to the 1950s and 1960s. Their driveways have been sealed and patched so often that the old repairs show through. If the base under them is still sound, we grind off the top and lay new asphalt. If it is not, we dig it out and rebuild the base from the dirt up.

Parking lots and HOA drives in Hamilton, Ignacio and Bel Marin Keys

Most of Novato's business space sits on the south side. Hamilton Landing fills the old airfield hangars, and offices line Bel Marin Keys Boulevard and Redwood Boulevard. Lots like these wear out in the drive lanes long before the parking stalls do. We patch the failed areas with asphalt repair in Novato, then restripe the stalls and ADA spaces.

HOA and gated communities such as StoneTree and Marin Country Club share their drives. Those lanes have to stay open while we work, so we pave them in sections. Dry Novato summers pull the oil out of old asphalt, and asphalt sealcoating in Novato slows that down. Call (707) 217-0835 or get an estimate for your Novato property.

Novato FAQ

Questions From Novato Property Owners

A few of the questions we hear most around Novato. Don't see yours? Give us a call.

Call (707) 217-0835

What affects the cost of an asphalt driveway in Novato?
Size comes first, then the shape of the old base underneath. A flat drive in Pleasant Valley costs less to build than a steep hillside drive above San Marin. The hill needs more grading and a heavier base. Access counts too, since a long rural drive off Atherton Avenue eats more truck time. We measure the drive and send you an estimate before any work starts.
Which parts of Novato do you serve?
All of them. That covers 94945, 94947 and 94949. We pave in San Marin, Pleasant Valley, Ignacio, Hamilton and Bel Marin Keys, plus Black Point out by Highway 37. Novato is a short drive south of our Petaluma base, and we also work San Rafael and Petaluma.
When is the best time of year to pave in Novato?
Late spring through early fall. Asphalt needs dry, warm ground to compact well, and North Bay winters bring steady rain. Sealcoating wants dry weather too, so we book it in the same window. We can still patch small failures in winter between storms.
