Asphalt Paving in Lemoore, CA

Asphalt paving in Lemoore is tied to the town's history with the Navy. An Army airfield opened nearby in 1941, became Naval Air Station Lemoore in 1961, and is now the Navy's largest master jet base, about 7 miles west of town. Lemoore's population jumped from 4,219 in 1970 to 8,832 in 1980, more than doubling, and reached 27,038 in 2020. A lot of the housing was built for military families and the people who work around the base, and many homes change hands as assignments change.

River-fan soil and a high water table

Lemoore sits on alluvial fan soils laid down by the Kings River and Los Gatos Creek, on what was once the northern shoreline of Tulare Lake. The ground is productive farmland, and historically the water table was high enough that shallow wells were easy to dig. For paving, that means some lots stay damp longer after rain and the base must be built to stay firm when wet. We check moisture and soft spots before setting the section.

Very flat land

The land around Lemoore is so flat that small differences in elevation cover long distances. Getting water off a driveway or lot takes deliberate grading. We build in a cross-slope or crown and make sure water has a place to go.

Homes that sell and rent

With families moving in and out on military timelines, many owners want a driveway that looks good for a sale or a new tenant. Crack filling and sealcoating make a big visual difference for little money. Where driveways are past saving, replacement adds value.

Business lots and highways

State Route 41 and State Route 198 meet near the city's southwest corner, and retail lots along those corridors carry steady traffic. We repair, overlay, seal and restripe commercial lots in phases.

Common Lemoore jobs

• Sealcoating and crack filling before a sale or a new tenant
• Replacing 1970s and 1980s driveways with failed bases
• RV and boat pads for families with toys and long deployments
• Lot repairs and restriping along SR-198 and SR-41
• Gravel conversions on rural properties around town

Planning around schedules

Many Lemoore homeowners are on military schedules, with moves and deployments that do not wait. We give firm dates in the quote and can usually fit a sealcoat or repair job into a short window. For full replacements, we plan the work so you can park on the street for a few days, and we tell you exactly when the driveway is ready.

Lemoore's climate and your pavement

Lemoore has a semi-arid climate, with long, hot summers and a short rainy season in winter. Sun is the bigger threat most of the year: it dries the asphalt binder and turns the surface gray and brittle. In winter, the danger shifts to water getting into cracks and softening the base, especially on damp river-fan ground. Sealing in spring or fall and filling cracks before the first storms handle both.
