Serving Rialto, CA and surrounding areas. (909) 546-5231
Rialto Asphalt Paving is an Asphalt Paving Contractor serving Upland with driveway paving, asphalt repair, and parking lot maintenance - and we have been working in the Inland Empire since 2017. Our crew understands what the Upland climate does to pavement, from the baking summers to the clay soils that crack slabs from below.
Many homes in Upland date from the 1950s through the 1980s, and their original driveways are long past their useful life. Our driveway paving service replaces crumbling surfaces with a properly graded, compacted asphalt base that holds up to Upland summers and clay soil movement.
Upland sits above 1,200 feet elevation with intense UV exposure all summer - that direct sun breaks down asphalt binders faster than in coastal areas. Sealcoating every 3 to 5 years blocks UV penetration and slows oxidation, doubling the useful life of driveways and parking lots throughout the city.
Clay soils in Upland expand and contract with the seasons, and tree roots from mature eucalyptus and other trees near Euclid Avenue push through driveways over time. We cut out damaged sections, regrade the base, and patch the surface so it blends cleanly and holds up for years.
The Foothill Boulevard corridor runs east-west through the center of Upland and carries a dense mix of retail and commercial properties - many with aging asphalt lots that bake in the sun year after year. We handle full parking lot paving for commercial property owners who need a surface that stays smooth and drains correctly.
Winter rains in Upland come in heavy bursts, and water that enters pavement cracks quickly undermines the base layer. Crack sealing before the rainy season is the most cost-effective way to extend your pavement's life and avoid a full replacement down the road.
Potholes in Upland driveways and parking lots form when water infiltrates existing cracks and the freeze-thaw cycle - even the mild winter nights here - weakens the subgrade. We remove the failed material, recompact the base, and fill potholes with hot-mix asphalt for a repair that lasts.
Upland sits on the alluvial fan at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains, and that location shapes what happens to pavement here. The soils contain clay that swells when the winter rains arrive and shrinks again through the long dry summer. That shrink-swell cycle puts constant stress on concrete and asphalt surfaces, pushing slabs out of alignment and working open cracks from the bottom up. A contractor who does not understand this dynamic will patch the surface without addressing what caused the problem, and the damage comes back faster.
The Inland Empire heat compounds the issue. Summer temperatures regularly push into the 90s and past 100 degrees Fahrenheit, and at Upland's elevation the UV exposure is significant. That direct sunlight breaks down asphalt binders and oxidizes the surface, turning flexible pavement brittle over time. Homes built in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s - and there are many of them in Upland's established neighborhoods - are on their original driveways in many cases, and those surfaces are well past the point where maintenance alone can extend their life.
Our crew works throughout Upland regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect asphalt paving work here. Euclid Avenue is one of the more distinctive streets in the Inland Empire - a wide, historic boulevard with rows of mature eucalyptus trees whose roots are a frequent source of driveway and sidewalk damage in nearby neighborhoods. We factor root intrusion into our assessment on every job near that corridor. San Antonio Regional Hospital anchors the middle of the city, and we serve homeowners and commercial properties all across the area - from the mid-century streets south of Foothill Boulevard to the newer foothill subdivisions closer to the 210 Freeway.
The City of Upland handles its own permits through the Building and Safety division at uplandca.gov, and we coordinate with them on any work that involves changes to curb cuts or drainage at the right-of-way. We are familiar with the process and let you know upfront whether your project requires a permit. We also serve homeowners in nearby Montclair and Rancho Cucamonga, both of which share the same Inland Empire climate and soil conditions as Upland.
Call us or fill out the contact form and we will get back to you within one business day. We ask about the type of surface, its approximate size, and any specific problems you have noticed so we can prepare for the visit.
We visit your Upland property, inspect the pavement, check the base condition, and look for root intrusion or drainage issues. You receive a written estimate with a clear breakdown before we schedule any work - no surprise charges.
On paving day, we remove the old surface, address any root or drainage issues, compact the base, and lay the new asphalt in lifts. Most residential driveways in Upland are completed within one to two days.
New asphalt needs 48 to 72 hours to cure before vehicle traffic. We walk through the finished job with you, confirm you are satisfied, and give you maintenance tips specific to Upland's hot, dry climate to get the most years out of your new surface.
We serve all of Upland and respond within one business day. No obligation - just a straight answer about what your pavement needs.
(909) 546-5231Upland is a city of about 80,000 people in southwestern San Bernardino County, about 35 miles east of downtown Los Angeles. It was incorporated in 1906 and grew steadily through the mid-20th century, so a large share of its neighborhoods are made up of single-family homes from the 1950s through the 1980s. The northern parts of the city, closer to the San Gabriel Mountains, saw another wave of residential development in the 1990s and 2000s, adding larger homes and newer subdivisions to the mix. You can learn more about the city's history and services through the Wikipedia article on Upland, California.
Euclid Avenue is one of Upland's most distinctive landmarks - a wide, tree-lined boulevard planted with rows of eucalyptus in the late 1800s that cuts north-south through the heart of the city. Foothill Boulevard, the old Route 66 corridor, runs east-west and carries the city's main commercial and retail activity. The city is bookended by Interstate 10 to the south and the 210 Freeway through the north, making it easy to reach from anywhere in the Inland Empire. We work regularly in Upland and in the neighboring communities of Montclair and Ontario, giving us a good picture of pavement conditions across this whole corner of San Bernardino County.
