Paving in Exeter

Asphalt paving in Exeter serves a citrus town at the eastern edge of the valley, near the Sierra Nevada foothills. Exeter calls itself the Citrus Capital of the World, and its downtown is known for 31 murals depicting local history. The town took shape after a rail line came through by 1888; Southern Pacific representative D.W. Parkhurst bought the land and named the town after his hometown, Exeter, England. It incorporated in 1911.

Orchard drives and packing yards

Citrus orchards and packing operations around Exeter rely on long drives and yards that carry bins, forklifts and trucks. Those surfaces need heavy sections and drainage that keeps water away from loading areas. We pave, repair and maintain them.

Older homes

Exeter grew gradually, from 1,852 residents in 1920 to 10,321 in 2020, so it has homes from nearly every decade. Older driveways often need full replacement; newer ones benefit from sealing and crack filling.

Downtown

Downtown Exeter, with its murals, has small lots and alley parking behind storefronts. We repair and repave them with care for the surrounding buildings and keep work short to limit disruption.

Higher and slightly wetter

Exeter sits at about 390 feet, higher than Hanford, and gets roughly 12 inches of rain a year based on its monthly averages. That is more than the lake-basin towns to the west, so drainage and crack sealing before winter matter.

Getting around

Exeter is on State Highway 65, two miles south of Highway 198 and about fifteen miles east of Highway 99. We schedule work and deliveries with that in mind.

Planning around the citrus season

Citrus harvest and packing keep yards busy for months. We schedule yard paving and repairs for slower periods where possible, and phase work so trucks keep moving. For homes, spring and fall are the most comfortable paving seasons; summers here are hot, with July highs averaging near 98 degrees.

Older homes near downtown

Exeter's older neighborhoods near the downtown murals have homes from the early 1900s onward, many with narrow side drives and detached garages. Those driveways were often paved thin, and when they break up, replacement with a proper base is the fix. We use smaller equipment where access is tight and take care around old curbs and fences.

Slightly more rain

Exeter gets a bit more rain than the lake-basin towns to the west, so cracks matter more. Filling them before winter keeps water out of the base.

Foothill-edge weather

Exeter's monthly averages show January lows around 36 degrees and July highs near 98, with roughly 12.5 inches of rain a year, more than the lake-basin towns to the west. Winter rain makes crack filling important, and summer heat makes sealing important.
