Asphalt and Concrete Paving in Walnut Creek

Rich's Paving takes on asphalt paving in Walnut Creek, CA, below the west slopes of Mount Diablo. We work out of Petaluma, about 48 miles away across the Benicia–Martinez Bridge, with our own paving equipment on the trailer. Rich's Paving is a third generation family paving company, run the way the generations before ran it. The family has paved since 1988. Walnut Creek's mix of hillside homes, older tracts, and big retail parking makes it a natural fit for what we do.

The city grew from 2,460 people in 1950 to almost 40,000 by 1970, and the driveways aged right along with the houses. Parkmead, Walnut Heights, and Lakewood hold street after street of that era's paving. Rossmoor adds something different: a 55 and over community of about 10,000 residents with miles of shared drives and carport lots that HOAs have to keep up. Walnut Creek also catches about 26 inches of rain a year, more than most of the county, and the hills send all of it downhill through somebody's driveway.

Hillside driveways and the clay under Walnut Creek

Neighborhoods like Castle Hill and Northgate climb into real slopes, and the soil under them runs to expansive clay. The city's planning documents flag both the clay and the landslide prone hillsides. A driveway on that combination needs solid grading, a compacted base, and somewhere for water to go. That is the order we build in, and it is why our driveway paving in Walnut Creek starts under the surface.

On cut slopes we build retaining walls for Walnut Creek driveways so the bank stays put and the pavement keeps its edge. Where an older driveway is sound but tired, we grind the failures, fix the base, and overlay. A drive that mostly needs the sun damage stopped gets sealcoating instead. We tell you which fix the driveway actually needs, not the biggest one.

HOA drives, carports, and retail lots

Shared pavement is a big part of Walnut Creek. Rossmoor alone runs miles of private drives, and condo and townhome HOAs across Tice Valley and Parkmead manage their own streets and carport lots. We handle HOA and commercial paving in Walnut Creek in phases, so residents keep access while each section is paved and cures. Boards get a written scope, a schedule, and a single responsible crew for all of it.

Retail parking is the other half. The lots around the Broadway Plaza district and the Shadelands business park carry steady traffic every day of the year. We patch failed lanes with asphalt repair, restripe stalls and ADA spaces, and overlay when the surface is past patching. Where walks and pads need concrete, we pour concrete on the same mobilization. Get an estimate for your Walnut Creek property or call (707) 217-0835.

Walnut Creek FAQ

Questions From Walnut Creek Property Owners

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

Call (707) 217-0835

Do you work with HOAs in Walnut Creek?
Yes. Shared drives, carport lots, and private streets are normal work for us. We phase the paving so residents keep access, and we put scope, price, and schedule in writing for the board. The same contractor carries the job from grading to striping.
What drives the cost of a driveway in Walnut Creek?
Slope and soil, mostly. A flat Lakewood driveway prices differently than a climbing drive in Castle Hill that needs grading, a deeper base, and drainage. Clay ground moves with the seasons here, so base depth matters. We measure on site and give you a written number.
How far will you travel for a Walnut Creek job?
Walnut Creek is about 48 miles from our Petaluma yard, across the Benicia–Martinez Bridge. We schedule East Bay jobs so equipment and crew arrive together and the day starts early. Distance does not change the standard: same base work, same compaction, same finish as every job we pave.
