Arcadia Asphalt Paving serves Temple City with asphalt paving, driveway paving, and sealcoating built for the San Gabriel Valley climate. We have been working in Temple City since 2016 and respond to new requests within one business day.
Most of Temple City was built out in the 1950s and 1960s, and the driveways from that era are now showing their age. New asphalt paving gives Temple City homeowners a durable, smooth surface that handles the clay soil movement and summer heat this part of the San Gabriel Valley is known for.
Temple City homes sit on compact lots with tight access, and many have driveways that run alongside the house to a rear garage. We work in these close quarters regularly and know how to get the equipment in and out without tearing up your yard or your neighbor's property.
Temple City's wet winters and dry summers create the same expand-and-contract cycle that cracks driveways all across the San Gabriel Valley. Sealing cracks before the rainy season keeps water out of the base and stops small problems from becoming full-replacement jobs.
Summers in Temple City push temperatures into the 90s, and that kind of sustained UV exposure dries out asphalt binders faster than homeowners usually expect. Sealcoating every 3 to 5 years protects the surface and significantly extends the life of any paved area on your property.
Potholes in Temple City most often appear after winter rain gets into an existing crack and weakens the base below. We cut out the damaged material, recompact the base, and patch with hot-mix asphalt so the repair blends in and holds up long-term.
Before any paving project in Temple City, the base has to be properly graded and compacted or the new surface will fail from the same soil movement that damaged the old one. We handle all site prep in-house so base quality is never a question.
Temple City is a fully built-out city of roughly 4 square miles, and almost every project here is a repair or replacement on an existing property rather than new construction. The homes were built out primarily between the late 1940s and the 1970s, which means most driveways, concrete flatwork, and paved surfaces are now 50 to 70 years old. At that age, the original materials have gone through hundreds of wet-dry cycles driven by the valley's clay soils, and surface wear from decades of San Gabriel Valley sun has oxidized the asphalt binder into a brittle shell. The question for most Temple City homeowners is not whether something needs attention but how much attention and how soon.
The clay soil under this part of the San Gabriel Valley is one of the main drivers of driveway and flatwork failure here. It expands when it absorbs rain in winter and contracts through the dry summer months. That seasonal movement lifts and shifts the slab from below, and no amount of surface patching fixes a base problem caused by soil. A contractor who does not understand or account for that movement will install new pavement that starts failing in a few years. Proper base preparation, including grading, compaction, and sometimes a gravel sub-base, is what separates a 20-year driveway from a 5-year repair cycle.
Our crew works throughout Temple City regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect asphalt paving work here. We are familiar with the permit process through the Temple City Public Works Department for any work that involves the public right-of-way, and we handle those applications on our customers' behalf when needed.
Temple City is a compact, fully residential city. The streets off Las Tunas Drive, the neighborhoods near Live Oak Park, and the residential blocks running toward Baldwin Avenue are all familiar to us. Lots here tend to be tighter than in neighboring Arcadia, and many homes have rear-alley access or side driveways that require careful equipment staging. We plan for that before we arrive. We also serve neighboring San Gabriel and the surrounding area, so call us whether you are in Temple City or just across the city line.
Reach us by phone or through the contact form and we will follow up within one business day. You do not need to know the exact scope before you call - that is what the estimate is for.
We visit your property, measure the area, and check the base condition under the existing surface. This is where we give you an honest assessment of whether repair or full replacement makes more sense - and we put the price in writing before anything starts.
Most residential paving jobs in Temple City take one to two days. We confirm the schedule with you in advance and work around access constraints common on tight Temple City lots.
When the job is done, we walk the property with you, answer any questions, and give you specific guidance on when to drive on the new surface and how to maintain it in Temple City's climate.

(626) 898-6367Temple City is a small, quiet residential city of about 4 square miles in the western San Gabriel Valley, northeast of downtown Los Angeles. The city was incorporated in 1960, and most of its neighborhoods were developed during the postwar building boom of the 1950s and 1960s. Single-family ranch-style and bungalow homes on modest lots are the dominant building type throughout. The city is known for its high homeownership rates and long-term residents, many of whom have lived here for decades. Las Tunas Drive runs through the center of town as the main commercial corridor, with City Hall located at 9701 Las Tunas Drive. For more information about the city, see the Temple City Wikipedia article.
The San Gabriel Mountains rise directly to the north, forming the familiar backdrop visible from most of the city and shaping the wind and rain patterns that affect every home here. Temple City is fully built out, with almost no undeveloped land remaining, which means all construction activity here is renovation and replacement work on existing properties. Nearby Arcadia sits directly to the north, and San Gabriel borders the city to the south and west - we serve all of these areas and know the streets throughout this part of the valley.
