All Things Asphalt Inc

All Things Asphalt Inc installs and repairs asphalt for residential and commercial properties in Palo Alto, California, and nearby cities, including Cupertino and Los Altos. It states that it is licensed and insured, provides free, detailed estimates, and can often schedule work within the same week.

The company's installation process begins with a subgrade evaluation that checks soil compaction and drainage before any materials arrive, a step it considers important given Palo Alto's soils, which vary between firm hillside ground and softer clay close to the Baylands. It typically places an aggregate base, usually Class II material, compacted to 95 percent relative compaction and then paves with hot-mix asphalt sourced from local plants. That approach applies to parking lots, private roads and driveways, and the company handles full parking lot construction as well as resurfacing, including grading and base preparation.

Commercial work covers access roads, parking lots and other paved areas for public sites and businesses, with attention to ADA requirements. Residential services include new driveway installation, resurfacing and repair.

Repairs target potholes, cracks and uneven sections. Patching involves cutting out failed asphalt and replacing it with new compacted material. Milling removes the worn top layer to a set depth without changing the overall pavement elevation, reusing existing material and preparing the surface for an overlay.

For protection, the company applies sealcoat made from asphalt emulsion or refined coal tar to slow oxidation and resist water and oil, and it offers slurry coating, a thin layer of polymers, fine aggregate and asphalt emulsion that seals the surface and restores a uniform dark color. Striping marks accessibility symbols, directional arrows and parking stalls. The company counts homeowners in Crescent Park and Old Palo Alto among its customers.
