Asphalt Paving in Spring Valley Lake, CA

Asphalt paving in Spring Valley Lake works around water in a place most people think of as dry. Spring Valley Lake is a census-designated place along the Mojave River, and about 10 percent of its 3.37 square miles is water. It sits at about 2,779 feet, a bit lower than central Victorville, and had 9,598 residents and 4,130 housing units at the 2020 census, up 16.8 percent from 2010.

Owner-occupied and well kept

About 78.7 percent of occupied homes in Spring Valley Lake are owner-occupied. The community has a strong expectation of neat, consistent driveways and shared areas. If your home falls under community association rules, check with the association before changing a driveway's size, shape or material. We can provide a written scope for approval.

Water near pavement

Homes near the lake and river can sit on ground with a higher water table than the open desert. Soft or damp subgrade has to be found and corrected before a base goes down, or the driveway will settle. We probe and dig test spots during the site visit.

Vacancy and second homes

About 15 percent of housing units were vacant at the 2020 census, a higher share than most of the Victor Valley, reflecting second homes and properties between owners. For owners who are not on site, we can schedule work, send photos and leave the driveway barricaded until it is ready.

Typical jobs

• Driveway replacements and extensions
• Sealcoating and crack sealing on existing drives
• Private parking and shared area paving
• Patching around utility work

Permits

Spring Valley Lake is unincorporated San Bernardino County. Work in county-maintained road right-of-way, including driveway approaches, needs a county encroachment permit through the county's online portal. Simple permits take about two weeks, and the inspector must be notified 48 hours before work begins.

Golf course and lake homes

The community grew up around its lake and golf course, and many homes sit along fairways or near the water. When we pave near landscaping, turf or a shoreline, we keep equipment on hard surfaces, protect irrigation and grade so runoff from the new pavement does not wash into planted areas.

Costs

HomeGuide's national figures put a 600 square foot driveway at about $3,000 to $7,200 and sealing a two-car driveway at about $400 to $1,200. We itemize your proposal.

Timing with the weather

Like the rest of the valley, summer afternoons here are hot and winter nights freeze. We pave and seal in the cooler hours and avoid windy days.

Vacant homes and quick turnarounds

With about 15 percent of homes vacant at the 2020 census, many driveways belong to owners preparing a home for sale or a new tenant. A crack-seal and sealcoat can be done in a day or two and makes an older driveway look cared for.

River-bottom wind

Spring winds funnel along the Mojave River corridor. We watch the forecast and keep sealing to calm mornings so grit does not end up in fresh sealer.
