Need a new driveway, private road, or parking lot in Scotts Valley?
Betz Works provides professional asphalt paving services tailored to the mountain terrain, wet winters, and heavily wooded properties found throughout Scotts Valley and the surrounding Santa Cruz Mountains.
From steep hillside driveways near Mount Hermon Road to commercial paving projects off Scotts Valley Drive, we install durable asphalt surfaces designed to handle rain, runoff, tree roots, and daily traffic.
We’re fully licensed, bonded, and insured, with over 60 years of combined paving experience serving homeowners and businesses across Santa Cruz County.

Paving in Scotts Valley comes with challenges you don’t see in flatter areas.
If your property sits on a hillside or near heavy tree coverage, rainwater and mountain runoff can quickly create drainage problems, cracks, and erosion around your driveway or parking lot.
And if you own a commercial property, you need asphalt that can handle constant traffic while staying smooth, safe, and reliable year-round.
At Betz Works, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all paving. We build asphalt surfaces that are made to withstand the local conditions Scotts Valley property owners deal with every year.
Properties we service:

Whether you own a mountain property off Glenwood Drive or a residential home near Granite Creek Road, we build driveways designed to handle steep terrain, winter runoff, and daily wear for years to come – starting with properly compacted base rock and high-quality hot mix asphalt that holds up against Scotts Valley’s wet winters and shifting hillside soils.
Our team carefully grades every driveway to direct water away from your home and reduce the risk of pooling, erosion, and premature cracking.
We pave parking lots for businesses, retail centers, apartment complexes, and commercial properties throughout Scotts Valley.
Our crew handles everything from grading and base preparation to final compaction and striping.
We create smooth, durable parking surfaces built to handle steady traffic while maintaining proper drainage and safe vehicle flow.
We also install ADA-compliant parking layouts, access ramps, and pavement markings for commercial properties.
If your asphalt is structurally sound but showing surface wear, resurfacing may be the most cost-effective solution.
We install a new asphalt overlay that restores appearance, improves traction, and extends the life of your pavement without a full replacement.
Resurfacing works well for aging driveways and parking lots with:
Scotts Valley’s moisture, fog, UV exposure, and tree debris can wear down asphalt faster over time. Sealcoating improves the appearance and extends the lifespan of your asphalt.
Our professional sealcoating services help protect your pavement from:
Poor drainage causes some of the most common asphalt problems we see in Scotts Valley.
Heavy winter rain, hillside runoff, and poor grading can wash out the soil beneath your pavement and create cracks, potholes, and sinking areas.
We correct grading and drainage issues before we begin paving to help prevent future water damage.
Our services include:
Cracks, potholes, sinking pavement, and crumbling edges usually keep spreading once water and tree roots start damaging the asphalt.
Our repair services include:
Regular maintenance extends the life of your driveway and keeps your asphalt looking clean, smooth, and safe year-round.
Our maintenance services include:
We start by visiting your property to inspect the existing surface, evaluate drainage conditions, and understand the layout of your project.
We look for issues like runoff, soft spots, erosion, tree root intrusion, and slope instability before we begin to work.
We provide a clear, detailed estimate outlining the scope of work, materials, timeline, and pricing, with no hidden costs.
We make sure your project is planned correctly and built to meet state and local requirements.
Our team understands Scotts Valley’s hillside terrain, drainage concerns, and site access challenges, and we coordinate projects to align with City of Scotts Valley Special Provisions, ADA accessibility requirements, and Caltrans specs so your pavement passes inspection and performs long-term.
We prepare and compact the site correctly to create a stable foundation that can handle Scotts Valley’s hillsides and winter runoff.
That may include excavation, grading, drainage correction, demolition of failing asphalt, or adding and compacting new base rock.
We compact the asphalt evenly across the entire surface to create a stable driveway or parking lot that holds up under daily use and changing weather conditions.
Our crew carefully monitors grading, asphalt temperature, compaction, and drainage throughout the process to create a smooth, durable finished surface.
Before we wrap up the project, we inspect the finished asphalt with you to make sure every detail meets our standards and that you’re happy with the results.
We leave the site clean, safe, and ready for use.
