Paving in Selma —
poured right the first time.
You shouldn’t have to guess who to trust with a new asphalt surface in Selma. Our license is public (C-32 #760658), our shop has been in Fresno since 1990, and Selma is about 20 minutes south on 99.
Selma sits on Highway 99 south of Fresno, in the heart of California raisin country. Commercial work along the 99 frontage, residential paving in the older neighborhoods, and parking-lot maintenance for shopping centers and the truck stops make up most of our work here.
The 99 corridor means a lot of the commercial paving in Selma is high-traffic — truck stops, drive-throughs, large retail lots. We size the asphalt mix and base for the actual load the surface will take, not the residential-grade spec a smaller contractor might quote.
Selma sits in Fresno County; driveways and small commercial lots in the raisin capital — and farm roads that take trailer traffic to and from the vineyards every harvest. Highway 99 keeps the trip simple, and grouped scheduling keeps small jobs affordable out here.
Paving in Selma
What the job includes.
New asphalt installation and overlays for driveways, parking lots, private roads and farm approaches. The work that matters most happens before the asphalt truck arrives: subgrade evaluation, base rock depth matched to the loads the surface will actually carry (a passenger driveway and a packing-house yard are different animals), and drainage planned so water leaves the pavement instead of living under it. In the Valley’s expansive clay soils, base prep is the difference between a 25-year surface and a 5-year regret.
How we run a paving job.
We quote from a site walk, not a satellite photo. Overlay candidates get an honest call — if the existing section is too far gone, an overlay just buys a couple of years and we’ll say so. New installs get compacted Class II base, machine-laid hot mix, and rolled compaction checked at the edges, where driveways actually fail first.

Paving questions
Asked before every
Selma 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.
How soon can you get to Selma?
Selma runs on the same lead time as Fresno proper — it’s about 20 minutes south on 99. Estimates usually happen within a couple of days, and same-week starts are normal once you sign off.
