Quick answer
USA Paving installs new asphalt pavement for residential driveways, commercial parking lots and private roads across Sacramento, Rocklin, Modesto and the Sacramento Valley. Every job starts with grading and base preparation, because a durable asphalt surface depends on what is underneath it.
New asphalt is a cost-effective pavement that, when it is installed correctly and maintained, delivers years of dependable service. The difference between pavement that lasts and pavement that fails early is almost always the work you cannot see: excavation, drainage, base material and compaction.
Our crews bring the right equipment and industry-proven techniques to each project, whether you are paving a new residential driveway or a large commercial lot. We work with asphalt and a range of pavement materials, and we size the crew and equipment to the job so you are not paying for more than you need.

Asphalt Paving FAQs
How thick should new asphalt be?
Residential driveways commonly use about 2 to 3 inches of compacted asphalt over a prepared base. Parking lots and areas with truck traffic need a thicker, stronger section. We recommend thickness based on how the pavement will be used.
How long does a paving project take?
A typical driveway can often be completed in a day or two once the site is prepared. Larger commercial lots are phased to keep your business running. We will give you a realistic schedule with your estimate.
Do you pave both residential and commercial projects?
Yes. We handle residential driveways and walkways as well as commercial parking lots, HOA drives and private roads, in projects of any size.
