Yucaipa Asphalt Paving serves Redlands, CA with asphalt paving, driveway installation, sealcoating, and crack repair for homeowners and commercial properties throughout the city. From the historic neighborhoods near downtown to the newer streets on the south side, we cover all of Redlands and understand what properties here actually need.

Redlands has a wide range of property types - from large older lots in the historic neighborhoods north of downtown to standard-sized suburban parcels on the south side. Our asphalt paving work accounts for these differences: base preparation on older properties often requires more attention to tree root intrusion and settled subgrade than newer lots do.
Homes in Redlands' Victorian and Craftsman-era neighborhoods often sit on lots with long driveways and detached garages that have not been repaved in decades. A new driveway corrects drainage toward the street, addresses soil movement that has caused uneven settling, and gives an older property a clean, well-maintained appearance from the curb.
Redlands gets some of the hottest sustained summer temperatures in the Inland Empire, and UV exposure breaks down the asphalt binder faster than in cooler climates. Sealcoating every two to three years is one of the most straightforward ways to add years to the life of any driveway or parking area in this city.
Tree roots from the large, mature trees on older Redlands lots are a leading cause of cracking in both asphalt and concrete driveways. Hot-applied crack sealant keeps water out of widening cracks and buys time before a full replacement is needed - especially on surfaces that are otherwise structurally sound.
Commercial properties along Redlands Boulevard, Tennessee Street, and near Citrus Plaza need regular lot care to stay functional and safe. Crack sealing, restriping, and pothole patching done on a consistent schedule prevent small problems from turning into a full repave.
The expansive clay soils in parts of Redlands cause paved surfaces to heave and crack after wet winters, leaving depressions and rough patches that get worse through subsequent seasons. Targeted asphalt repair addresses these problem areas before they grow and force a more expensive full replacement.
Redlands is one of the oldest cities in the Inland Empire, and many of its residential neighborhoods have housing stock built between the 1880s and 1940s. Homes in these areas often have original driveways that have never been fully replaced, long approaches with detached garages, and mature trees whose roots have been working into concrete and asphalt for decades. The city's foothills location also means some neighborhoods, especially in the north and northeast near the San Bernardino Mountains, sit on sloped terrain where drainage planning matters as much as the pavement itself. A contractor who treats a Redlands hillside job the same way they would a flat suburban lot will leave you with drainage problems within a few years.
The climate here adds consistent stress. Redlands summers regularly push into the high 90s and occasionally above 105 degrees - hot enough to soften fresh asphalt and accelerate UV oxidation of the binder. Winter brings mild but real freeze risk in the foothills, and the wet season between November and March introduces the moisture that expansive clay soils absorb and expand against. That cycle of wet-and-dry, combined with sustained summer heat, is one of the main reasons Redlands driveways and parking lots need more than minimal maintenance to stay in good condition.
Our crew works throughout Redlands regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect asphalt paving work here. The city's mix of Victorian-era lots near downtown, mid-century ranch homes in the central neighborhoods, and newer suburban streets on the south and east sides means every project has a different starting point. We are familiar with the permit requirements at the City of Redlands Development Services department for driveway work, particularly encroachment permits when jobs approach the curb cut or apron. We also regularly work near the commercial corridors along Redlands Boulevard and Tennessee Street, where parking lot maintenance and resurfacing are ongoing needs.
Knowing Redlands means knowing its roads and landmarks as reference points. We work on driveways and parking lots near the University of Redlands campus, in the older neighborhoods around the A.K. Smiley Public Library and downtown, and on the hillside properties toward the San Bernardino Mountain foothills. Nearby Loma Linda is adjacent to Redlands to the west, and we serve both communities on the same crew routes.

We visit your Redlands property, measure the area, check the base and drainage, and assess any tree root intrusion or soil movement issues. You get a clear written quote and a straight answer about what your surface actually needs - repairs or full replacement.
If your project requires a city permit, we handle the process and keep you informed of any timeline impact. We schedule your job at a time that works for your household and confirm before arrival.
We complete the work cleanly and walk the finished surface with you before leaving. You will know the curing timeline, when to stay off the surface, and when to schedule your first sealcoat.
We serve Redlands and surrounding cities throughout the Inland Empire. Written quote, honest assessment, no pressure.
(909) 546-5020Redlands is a city of around 75,000 people in San Bernardino County, situated at the base of the San Bernardino Mountains about 60 miles east of Los Angeles. The city has deep roots as one of California's historic citrus centers - the navel orange industry flourished here in the late 1800s and early 1900s, and that history shaped the built environment. The older neighborhoods north and west of downtown feature Victorian, Queen Anne, and Craftsman-style homes built between the 1880s and 1930s, many sitting on large lots with mature citrus and shade trees and long driveways. The University of Redlands, a private liberal arts university founded in 1907, anchors a central part of the city and contributes to a mix of owner-occupied homes and rental properties in its surrounding blocks. Interstate 10 runs through the northern section of the city, connecting Redlands to San Bernardino to the west and to the Coachella Valley to the east via State Route 62. Redlands Boulevard and Tennessee Street are the main surface roads through the commercial corridors. Learn more about the city through Redlands on Wikipedia.
The city has a well-established commercial core along its historic downtown, which includes the A.K. Smiley Public Library, a Carnegie-era landmark still in active use today. The San Bernardino County Museum is located in Redlands, and Esri - one of the world's leading GIS software companies - is headquartered here, making Redlands one of the more economically stable cities in the Inland Empire. The city's east and south sides have newer subdivisions with standard suburban lots, while the foothills neighborhoods to the north climb toward the mountains with sloped terrain and more complex drainage situations. We serve all of Redlands, and we also provide services in neighboring Loma Linda and Yucaipa.
