Brentwood Asphalt Paving is an Asphalt Paving Contractor serving Concord, CA, providing parking lot paving, driveway replacement, asphalt resurfacing, and crack sealing for homes and commercial properties across this large Diablo Valley city. We have been serving the eastern Bay Area since 2016 and understand how Concord's postwar housing stock, clay soils, and inland climate affect paving work here.
Concord has extensive commercial corridors along Willow Pass Road and Clayton Road, with strip malls, auto-service businesses, and retail centers that have aging parking lots. Our parking lot paving service handles Concord commercial properties of all sizes, from small professional office lots to large retail centers, with base preparation suited to the Diablo Valley's clay soils.
A large share of Concord's residential driveways date from the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, when the city's postwar tracts were built. After 50 to 70 years on clay soil that moves seasonally, many of these driveways are cracked, heaved, or showing significant surface wear that goes beyond what patching can fix.
When a Concord parking lot or driveway has surface cracking and wear but a structurally sound base, resurfacing is a cost-effective way to restore it without a full replacement. The hot, dry summers here accelerate surface oxidation, so resurfacing a lot before base damage sets in extends its lifespan considerably.
Concord's seismic activity from the Concord Fault and nearby fault systems adds crack-producing stress to driveways and parking lots on top of the normal soil movement and heat cycles. Sealing cracks promptly stops water from reaching the base, where it causes far more expensive damage during the wet season.
Concord sits inland enough that summer heat and UV exposure are significantly more intense than in coastal Bay Area cities, and unprotected asphalt surfaces oxidize and dry out faster here. Regular sealcoating protects the surface binder, keeps the pavement flexible, and is the most cost-effective maintenance step available.
Flat yards and low-drainage lots are common in Concord's older postwar tracts, where original grading was minimal and drainage infrastructure is aging. Proper regrading before a new driveway or parking surface is poured is the step that prevents the next round of cracking and water pooling problems.
Concord is Contra Costa County's largest city, and its size means a wide range of property conditions and paving needs. The bulk of the residential housing stock was built between 1950 and 1980, which means many homeowners are dealing with original driveways that have now been on Diablo Valley clay for 50 to 70 years. Clay-heavy soils swell when Concord's winter rains saturate them and shrink during the long dry summers, and that seasonal movement is the leading cause of cracked and heaved driveways in the city's older neighborhoods. A contractor who does not account for this in the base preparation is setting up the same problem to happen again.
On the commercial side, Concord's retail and office corridors along Willow Pass Road, Clayton Road, and Concord Avenue include a large number of aging parking lots that are past their maintenance cycle. Concord summers regularly push temperatures into the 90s, and that heat accelerates asphalt surface oxidation on neglected lots. The city also sits in a seismically active area, with the Concord Fault running close to the city, adding a layer of cracking risk that inland cities without fault proximity do not face. Both residential and commercial owners benefit from working with a contractor who knows what Concord properties deal with specifically, not just what driveways and lots need generically.
Our crew works throughout Concord regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect asphalt paving work here. Concord is a large city - about 30 square miles - and property conditions vary from the postwar tracts near downtown and Todos Santos Plaza to the neighborhoods closer to Mount Diablo on the south and east sides. We have worked on both older residential driveways in the city's interior neighborhoods and larger commercial lots along the major surface streets. For projects that require permits, the City of Concord Public Works and Engineering Department handles encroachment and grading permits for work affecting streets or drainage patterns.
We know Concord's key roads well, from Interstate 680 on the west side to Clayton Road on the east, and the residential streets running off Concord Avenue and Willow Pass Road throughout the city. We regularly serve neighboring Pleasant Hill to the south, and Clayton to the east along Clayton Road.

(916) 618-0802Concord is the most populous city in Contra Costa County, covering about 30 square miles in the Diablo Valley roughly 29 miles east of San Francisco. The city grew rapidly after World War II through the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, when large tracts of single-family homes were built across the valley floor. That postwar suburban growth means a significant share of Concord's housing stock is now 50 to 70 years old - slab-on-grade construction with stucco exteriors, attached garages, and concrete or asphalt driveways that are well past their original lifespan. Todos Santos Plaza in downtown Concord serves as the social center of the city, known for its farmers market and summer concerts, and Interstate 680 connects Concord west to Walnut Creek and north to Martinez. More information about the city is available at the Concord, California Wikipedia article.
The city has a broad mix of residential and commercial property types, from the older single-family tracts near downtown to newer high-density development near the Concord BART stations. Commercial corridors along Willow Pass Road, Clayton Road, and Concord Avenue see heavy daily traffic and include a large number of aging retail and service business parking lots. We serve all parts of the city, and also cover nearby Pittsburg to the east along the Highway 4 corridor.
