"They showed up when they said they would, finished the driveway in one day, and the surface looks great. No issues at all, and it has held up through the summer heat without a single crack."
Marcus T., Bakersfield - Asphalt Paving
"Our parking lot lines were so faded customers kept parking sideways and blocking the aisle. The crew re-striped everything in a morning, including the accessible spaces, and now the lot actually functions the way it should."
Diana R., Shafter - Parking Lot Striping
"I had a pothole near my garage that had been getting worse for two years. They patched it properly - cut it out, prepped the base, filled it clean. Three months later and it looks exactly the same as the day they finished."

The UV radiation and triple-digit heat in the southern San Joaquin Valley oxidize the binder in asphalt, turning it gray and brittle far faster than in cooler climates. Once that binder breaks down, the surface begins to crack and crumble - and no amount of sealcoating reverses structural damage that has already set in.
Water finds its way into even small cracks and works its way to the base. In Bakersfield, where clay soils absorb moisture and then swell, that process pushes the surface up from below. Crack sealing early is the single most cost-effective thing you can do to extend the life of any paved surface.
Asphalt is more flexible, which makes it more forgiving on Bakersfield's clay soils as they expand and contract through the seasons. Concrete is harder but more prone to cracking when the ground shifts. For driveways and parking lots in this climate, asphalt is the more practical choice for most properties.
Patching works when the base is solid and damage is limited to specific areas. When you see widespread alligator cracking, multiple soft spots, or sections that have sunk, the base has likely failed and patching is a short-term fix. A contractor should probe the base, not just look at the surface, before recommending a scope of work.
Potholes, uneven edges, and faded accessible parking markings are the three most common sources of slip-and-fall and vehicle damage complaints on commercial properties. Keeping a lot patched, leveled, and properly striped is not just about curb appeal - it is risk management. The ADA.gov publishes the accessible parking requirements that apply to any lot open to the public.
The asphalt you see is only the top layer. The compacted gravel or aggregate base underneath does the structural work. A thick, well-compacted base on stable ground is what separates a driveway that lasts 25 years from one that cracks and sinks in five. Always ask a contractor specifically how they handle base preparation before signing anything.
Bakersfield Asphalt Paving Company is a licensed and insured asphalt paving contractor company based in Bakersfield, CA, serving 12 communities across Kern County since 2018.
We hold a California state contractor's license issued by the California Contractors State License Board. Our license is active and publicly verifiable at cslb.ca.gov.
Since 2018, we have completed paving, sealcoating, repair, and maintenance projects across the region - from residential driveways and commercial parking lots to drainage and grading work on new construction sites.
If your asphalt is faded and lightly cracked but the base is solid, sealcoating with crack filling buys years of life. If you have sections that feel soft underfoot or large areas of alligator cracking, the base has failed and repaving is the right call. A contractor who walks the surface with you - rather than quoting from a driveway - will give you an honest answer.
More than most homeowners realize. Bakersfield's sun and heat accelerate asphalt oxidation faster than almost anywhere in California. UV breaks down the binder, clay soils shift with seasonal moisture, and even a small drainage issue becomes a bigger problem when concentrated winter rains hit a dry, hard surface.
On a sealcoating job: cleaning the surface, treating oil spots with primer, and filling cracks before sealer goes down. On a paving job: compacting the base, correcting grade for drainage, and using the right asphalt mix for the climate. Skipped prep is the number one reason paving work fails ahead of schedule.
The National Asphalt Pavement Association publishes technical guidance on asphalt maintenance best practices - a useful resource if you want to go deeper. When you are ready to talk about your specific property, call us at (661) 404-1378 or submit a request online.
Bakersfield is one of the largest cities in California, with a population well over 400,000. It sits near the southern end of the San Joaquin Valley in Kern County and has grown steadily for decades. The city is known for its energy industry, agriculture, and its place in American music history as the birthplace of the Bakersfield Sound, the country music style made famous by Buck Owens and Merle Haggard.
The city spans a wide range of neighborhoods, from older ranch-style homes near downtown to large planned subdivisions in the northwest and southwest. Landmarks like Buck Owens' Crystal Palace and the Kern River corridor are part of daily life here. The city sits on flat valley floor, and most homes built after 1970 are on concrete slab foundations - a combination that makes drainage and soil movement real concerns for any paved surface.
The southern San Joaquin Valley's clay-rich soils swell when wet and shrink when dry, putting stress on driveways, parking lots, and any flatwork year after year. Bakersfield also sees some of the hottest summers in California, which accelerates asphalt oxidation faster than anywhere along the coast. We understand these local conditions - and we build every job to account for them.
