Betz Works was born from a strong family tradition in paving:
For three generations, paving has been our way of building safe, lasting connections in the community.
The Betz name has been a leader in the paving industry since 1958, and Allan Betz has played a large part in making it a household name.
Allan’s work experience includes Earthworks Paving, Betz Paving, and Betz Construction. He has been in the paving business since he was 14 years old. Today, he runs Betz Works along with his wife, Amanda, and son Luke.
Allan holds a General Engineer Contractor’s License (license number 1098361). He’s also a PG&E Certified Contractor and Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) contractor.
We’re proud to be a part of the Santa Cruz County community and give back whenever we can, whether through local hiring, eco-conscious practices like asphalt recycling, or supporting neighborhood projects.
Your project is our priority. We handle every driveway, parking lot, and trench with personal care and professional pride.
