Redlands Asphalt Paving brings asphalt paving contractor services to Rialto, CA including parking lot maintenance, driveway paving, and crack sealing. We have served the Inland Empire since 2016 and understand the clay soils, Route 66 corridor traffic, and sustained triple-digit summer heat that wear down pavement in Rialto faster than most property owners realize.
Commercial strips along Foothill Boulevard and the industrial corridors near I-10 take a beating from heavy truck traffic and Inland Empire UV year-round. Our parking lot maintenance program, covering sealcoating, crack sealing, and striping, extends surface life and keeps business access looking professional without the cost of a full repave.
A large share of Rialto homes were built in the 1950s through 1980s, and the original driveways on those properties have been baking under the Inland Empire sun for decades. We install new asphalt driveways with a compacted aggregate base sized for the clay soils common in this part of San Bernardino County.
Rialto summers regularly push past 100 degrees, and that heat paired with the area's intense solar exposure oxidizes asphalt binder faster than in coastal areas. Sealcoating every three to five years locks in the binder oils, slows surface graying, and adds a barrier that sheds water before it can reach the base.
Clay soils beneath Rialto driveways expand during winter rains and contract each dry summer, opening new cracks on a predictable cycle. Sealing those cracks with hot rubberized sealant before the rainy season is the single most cost-effective step a Rialto homeowner can take to avoid a much larger repair bill in the future.
Once water gets through a crack in Rialto and softens the base, potholes can form quickly, especially where soil movement has already created a weak point. We repair them with hot-mix asphalt that bonds to the surrounding pavement and stands up to both traffic load and the thermal cycling that is part of every Rialto summer.
When a Rialto driveway or parking lot has widespread surface cracking but the base is still structurally sound, resurfacing is a cost-effective alternative to full replacement. We mill the existing surface, correct any drainage issues, and lay fresh asphalt so the property gets a like-new appearance without full excavation costs.
Rialto sits on the broad valley floor of the Inland Empire, and the flat terrain means property drainage depends almost entirely on how pavement and grading are designed. A driveway or parking lot with the wrong slope holds water against foundations and sends it toward areas where it does the most damage. Combined with the clay-bearing soils present in parts of this San Bernardino County city, standing water after winter rains can quickly undermine a base that was stable through the dry months. The rapid growth of warehouse and logistics development in southern Rialto has also increased heavy truck traffic on surface streets, which puts additional stress on residential driveways and commercial lots in adjacent neighborhoods.
The climate in Rialto is one of the most demanding in Southern California for pavement surfaces. Summer temperatures routinely exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit with very low humidity, which dries and oxidizes asphalt binder at an accelerated rate. The result is a surface that goes from dark and flexible to gray and brittle faster than property owners expect, especially on driveways and lots that have not been sealcoated recently. Santa Ana wind events, which occur several times per year in the Inland Empire, add abrasive dust load to surfaces and can dislodge loose material from aging pavement edges. Properties built in the post-war decades, which make up a large portion of Rialto's residential stock, are often working with original pavement that was not engineered for today's heat extremes or traffic volumes.
Our crew works throughout Rialto regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect asphalt paving work here. Rialto is a city with distinct north-south contrasts: older, post-war ranch-style neighborhoods closer to Foothill Boulevard and I-10 make up the bulk of the residential work, while newer subdivisions in the northern foothills near the base of the San Gabriel Mountains tend to have larger driveways and more extensive hardscape. Jobs near the southern industrial corridors sometimes require coordination around truck delivery schedules, and we plan for that when scoping commercial projects. For projects requiring permits, we work with the City of Rialto community development and public works offices on Palm Avenue.
Foothill Boulevard, the Route 66 corridor that runs east-west through the heart of Rialto, is the road we use most when moving between jobs on either side of the city. Riverside Avenue and Ayala Drive are the north-south routes that connect the commercial corridors to the residential neighborhoods further north. We also serve the communities that border Rialto, including Fontana to the west and Bloomington to the south.

(909) 488-7710Rialto is a mid-sized city in San Bernardino County with a population of around 100,000, sitting on the broad flat valley floor of the Inland Empire between the San Gabriel Mountains to the north and the lower terrain toward the south. The city grew rapidly in the post-war decades, and as described on the Rialto Wikipedia page, Historic Route 66 runs through the city along Foothill Boulevard, connecting it to both Fontana to the west and San Bernardino to the east. The housing stock is heavily weighted toward single-story ranch-style homes built between the 1950s and 1980s, with concrete block walls dividing most residential lots - a standard feature across the Inland Empire that creates steady demand for paving and concrete work as these properties age.
The northern part of Rialto, closer to the foothills, includes newer subdivision tracts built from the 1990s through the 2000s with larger homes and more extensive driveways and hardscape. In contrast, the southern and central sections of the city have a mix of older residential neighborhoods, commercial strips, and a growing logistics and warehousing corridor that reflects the broader Inland Empire goods-movement economy. We serve Rialto alongside the surrounding communities, including San Bernardino to the east and Colton to the southeast.
