Paving in Oakhurst —
done once, done right.
For asphalt paving near Oakhurst, the Valley keeps recommending the same family shop it’s recommended for three decades. We’re about 50 minutes up Highway 41 — close enough for a free site walk, established enough that we’ll still be here when the warranty matters.
Oakhurst sits in the Madera County foothills near the south entrance to Yosemite. Mountain properties, steep approaches, vacation cabins, and the small commercial strip serving tourist traffic — all with the weather conditions that foothill paving requires.
We schedule Oakhurst trips around weather windows and combine work with other foothill properties along Highway 41.
At roughly 2,300 feet, Oakhurst is the southern gateway to Yosemite — lodging, restaurants and mountain services stacked along Highway 41. Pavement up here sees actual freeze-thaw cycles, snowplow blades and shaded wet spots the Valley floor never deals with, and the spec has to respect all three.
Around Oakhurst, mountain-gateway properties where snow-line freeze-thaw joins the design conversation — rare for the Valley, normal for us up the 41. We know the roads (Highways 41 and 49) and the ground — and both matter more to a paving quote than most people think.
Paving in Oakhurst
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
Oakhurst job.
Overlay or full repave?
An overlay works when the base underneath is still sound — isolated cracking, no alligatored areas, no soft spots. If more than about a quarter of the surface shows base failure, overlay money is better spent on a rebuild. We tell you which side of the line you're on at the estimate.
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.
