What we do in Los Gatos

Asphalt Driveway Paving

We install new asphalt driveways and repave existing ones built to hold up under daily use, whether your driveway sits flat or slopes up towards the hills.

Sealcoating & Maintenance

We sealcoat your driveway to protect it from sun exposure, oil stains, and water damage, so it lasts longer between repaves.

Driveway Grading & Drainage

In Los Gatos, many properties sit on graded hillside lots, and poor drainage can erode the soil underneath the pavement, leading to cracking and settlement. We shape your driveway to the right slope, so that water runs away from the driveway instead of collecting on the surface.

Commercial & Parking Lot Paving

We stripe and repair parking lots for retail centers, offices, and other commercial properties throughout Los Gatos, including areas like Old Town and North Santa Cruz Avenue, and build accessible ramps, parking spaces, and signage that meet ADA and Title 24 rules.

Sinkhole & Settlement Repair

We identify what’s causing your driveway to sink, then repair it at the source, whether that means relining or replacing pipes, stabilizing the base, and smoothing out the surface to make it level again.

Underground Utility Work

We trench water lines, sewer lines, conduit, and cable with PG&E certification, even on the sloped or rocky ground common on Los Gatos properties.

Site Prep & Demolition

We clear, demolish, and pad-grade sites for new construction, including ADUs and backyard projects.

Our Services are Built for Los Gatos Terrain Conditions

Los Gatos sits at the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains, and these conditions affect how we approach each job in this area:

• Hillside grading and erosion. The southern part of Los Gatos makes up about half of the town and is mostly natural hillside. On such terrain, slopes, drainage paths, and soil stability all interact. Grade a slope at the wrong angle or reroute water without accounting for runoff patterns, and you disturb the topsoil, which erodes and undermines the ground beneath the pavement. We plan around the terrain, not just the driveway itself.
• Heavy loads. Old Town and North Santa Cruz Avenue see heavy foot and vehicle traffic, and driveways that hold RVs or work trucks need a base that can withstand such weight. We compact a thicker aggregate base engineered to support that load without cracking or shifting.
• ADA and Title 24 Your ramps and accessible routes must meet precise slope ratios, and Los Gatos’s hilly terrain makes those ratios harder to achieve than on flat ground. If you miss the mark by even half a percent, you can’t pass inspection. We build it right the first time.
• Working around business hours. We know that paving disrupts traffic flow and parking availability in front of your business, so we create a schedule around your open hours and work in phases to minimize the impact.
