Paving in Coalinga —
done once, done right.
Plenty of paving websites claim Coalinga. Here’s our claim, plainly: one shop, Fresno-based, CSLB C-32 #760658, serving Coalinga from the Fresno yard — about an hour southwest. Estimates are free and the schedule is honest.
Coalinga sits at the far west edge of Fresno County, sixty-some miles from our Fresno shop in the foothills of the coast range. An oil town and a ranching town — the 1983 earthquake that leveled the original downtown is in living memory, and most of the commercial work we do here is on buildings that went up afterward.
Because of the distance, we batch Coalinga jobs and combine them with Huron and Avenal work in the same trip when we can. Larger commercial lots and mobile-home parks make up most of what we do here — scheduling needs a bit more lead time than the central cities.
What we see in Coalinga: oil-and-ag country on the far west side — industrial yards, truck aprons and municipal-grade repairs. The route out is Highways 33 and 198 — a run our crews have made more times than anyone’s counted.
Paving in Coalinga
What the job includes.
Most paving that fails early around here fails from underneath. Clay that swells with every irrigation cycle, a skimped base, water with nowhere to go — the blacktop on top never had a chance. So when you hire us for a driveway, a lot, or a private road, you’re mostly hiring what we do to the ground first. Grading, base rock at a depth that matches your traffic, compaction in lifts — then, and only then, hot mix.
How we run a paving job.
Expect a plain-spoken visit: we walk the site, measure it, poke at the soft spots, and give you a written number with the section spec on it — base depth, mat thickness, drainage. If your old surface can carry an overlay we’ll offer that as the cheaper path; if it can’t, we’ll show you why rather than sell you two more years.

Paving questions
Asked before every
Coalinga job.
How long before we can drive on it?
Stay off new asphalt 24–72 hours depending on heat — and in Fresno summers, longer is better. Asphalt cures over months, so avoid sharp steering turns in one spot for the first few weeks.
How thick should driveway asphalt be?
For a passenger-car driveway in Valley soil, the honest spec is 2.5–3 inches of hot mix over 4–6 inches of compacted base. Trucks, RVs, or ag equipment need more section — that's a conversation at the site walk, not a one-size answer.
