With cities like Pleasanton, Livermore, and Dublin continuing to grow, the need for long-lasting, code-compliant, and high-traffic-ready pavement is greater than ever. At We Love Paving, we specialize in asphalt and concrete solutions tailored to the Tri-Valley’s unique mix of suburban development, fluctuating temperatures, and strict permitting requirements.
This isn’t about generic paving. This is about building surfaces that work for Tri-Valley businesses, HOAs, schools, and municipalities — from the ground up.
The Tri-Valley Challenge: Clay Soils, Microclimates & Rapid Development
Tri-Valley presents several challenges that affect pavement performance:
-
Clay-heavy subgrades expand and contract with seasonal moisture
-
Dry summers and cool, damp winters accelerate surface aging and cracking
-
Fast-developing commercial zones face high foot and vehicle traffic early in a pavement’s life
-
Strict local code enforcement on ADA compliance, stormwater control, and environmental regulations
At WLP, we don’t just install asphalt — we engineer systems that address these challenges before they surface.
Our Regionally Tailored Paving Process
1. Geotechnical-Driven Subgrade Preparation
We begin every project with proper evaluation and soil testing:
-
Soil classification and load-bearing assessment
-
Subgrade compaction targeting 95% density (per ASTM D1557)
-
Lime or cement-treated base for expansive soil zones (especially in Livermore & Dublin)
-
Geo-fabric separation for drainage-critical areas
2. Asphalt Design Built for Tri-Valley Traffic and Climate
We design our hot-mix asphalt with:
-
Polymer-modified binders for better performance in summer heat
-
Flexible mixes that tolerate high-turn traffic (dealerships, HOAs, retail centers)
-
Custom mix designs from Caltrans-approved local plants
3. ADA & Local Code Compliance
Tri-Valley cities are serious about code — and so are we.
-
All ramps, transitions, and stall layouts meet ADA guidelines
-
Slope calculations verified with laser tools (2% max for accessible routes)
-
Clear striping and signage to meet Pleasanton, Dublin, and San Ramon inspection standards
4. Stormwater Management & SWPPP Coordination
For large lots or new construction:
-
We ensure proper surface drainage slope (min 1.5%)
-
Catch basin placement per city drainage maps
-
Collaboration with civil engineers on stormwater control BMPs
-
Optional permeable paving options where required by development codes
Typical Projects We Complete in the Tri-Valley:
-
Commercial parking lots (retail, office parks)
-
Industrial yard paving in Livermore and eastern Dublin
-
Private road construction and repair for gated communities
-
School district site upgrades
-
Full ADA compliance retrofits for older properties
-
Concrete curb, sidewalk, and ramp installations
Conclusion: Paving That Understands Where You’re Building
Paving in Tri-Valley isn’t a copy-paste job — it requires a contractor who knows the soil, slope, traffic, and code of the region. At We Love Paving, we bring local knowledge, technical skill, and real accountability to every project.
