"We had a steep multi-curved driveway, Sacramento Paving gave a fair bid, stuck to it and did exactly what they said they would do. One year later we are still very happy with the results. Sacramento paving checks in with us to keep the driveway maintained. I would recommend them for your paving needs."

"I hired Isaac to redo a previous job by another company that was left unfinished and a big mess. He was very knowledgeable about what to do with my driveway and he and his employees were polite, professional and extremely hard working. He wanted to make sure everything was done right and I appreciated that. I felt his prices were very fair and I am so happy with my new driveway it is such a relief to finally have the driveway I wanted. I would recommend Issac to anyone that wants a dependable company that does excellent work."

"Very professional project proposal, design and references. Excellent value from a contractor that's well established in the local community. Project was completed and met all project milestones. On-site crew was very responsive to design changes, and applied best practices to improve on the prior concrete surface layout and design. I'm confident the resulting concrete driveway and walkways will serve us well for many years."

"EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS! I had requested quotes for concrete sealing and filling. I had my driveway treated a few years ago after it was originally installed as stamped colored concrete. I wanted my driveway to be sealed & a different color. Another contractor sealed it a different color, but color was lifting after a few years. I had 4 contractors give me quotes to epoxy seal & gloss coat my driveway. I decided to go with Torres. BEST DECISION I EVER MADE! My driveway is GORGEOUS and guaranteed! Jay is professional and easy to work with. I'm a customer for life."

"The company kept in close contact with me at all times. They made a mistake in the placement of a step down from my deck. I asked him if they could move the step and they actually built another one in the correct spot and left the one that I didnâ t originally want but I am glad to have it! Very polite people to work with. Very prompt. They were very thorough with everything! I highly recommend them!"

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

A solid driveway starts with the right asphalt mix, and for most homes, dense-graded hot mix asphalt (HMA) is the most recommended. It’s both durable and flexible, making it a reliable choice for residential use. A properly compacted 2-3 inch layer on a well-prepared crushed stone base will hold up for years. In areas with harsh winters or scorching summers, a slightly modified mix can help prevent cracking and rutting. No matter the climate, quality installation is just as important as the material itself, so hiring an experienced contractor ensures a smooth, long-lasting driveway built to last.

Asphalt is made of aggregate materials (sand, rocks, and gravel) and bitumen, a viscous, petroleum-based, waterproof substance. These materials are mixed together at extremely high temperatures to form asphalt.

If you notice minor cosmetic problems with your driveway, you should seal it. Look out for cracks and holes on the surface, faded asphalt or concrete, and stains from oil and other chemicals. Replacing your driveway may be necessary if you’re dealing with significant problems—¼-inch cracks, large potholes, and puddles from drainage issues. The cost to install an asphalt driveway typically ranges between $4,200 and $9,000, significantly more than resealing. Consider talking to a professional to discuss whether resurfacing your driveway—a midway project between resealing and replacing—is a better option for you.

Concrete is typically the best material for a driveway if you’re looking for longevity, cost-effectiveness, and ease of maintenance. But, it’s not ideal for areas with annual freeze-frost cycles, nor is it the most attractive option—although you can get it stamped or painted. If your location is consistently below freezing, asphalt may be a better choice.

There’s no single best asphalt grade—it all comes down to where and how it’s used. Highways and heavy-traffic roads need something tough, like polymer-modified asphalt (PMA) or Stone Matrix Asphalt (SMA). Local roads and parking lots rely on the Performance Graded (PG) system, chosen based on climate. A PG 64-28 mix, for example, handles a broad temperature range while simpler, more cost-effective mixes are typically enough for residential driveways. The best grade of asphalt depends on traffic, weather, and your budget, which is why a professional’s input is always a smart move before making a decision.
