Asphalt Paving in Littlerock, CA

Asphalt paving in Littlerock serves a small community with a big agricultural past. Littlerock was once called the Fruit Basket of the Antelope Valley, with orchards of almonds, apples, peaches and pears along the roads around State Route 138. It takes its name from the Little Rock Wash, which runs through the area. The census-designated place had 1,535 residents and 482 housing units in 2020, but the wider Littlerock community, including Sun Village, is closer to 15,000 people.

Close to the source

One useful detail for anyone paving in the east valley: Vulcan Materials runs its Palmdale Asphalt hot-mix plant at 6851 East Avenue T in Littlerock. Hot mix has to arrive hot to compact properly, and a short haul helps, especially on cool mornings when the material loses heat quickly in the truck.

Washes and drainage

The Little Rock Wash carries water down from the San Gabriel Mountains when storms hit. Properties near washes and low ground need driveways that let water pass rather than dam it. We look at where water came from during the last big storm, set grades to move it off the pavement, and can add a dip or a swale where a drive crosses a natural flow line.

What we pave around Littlerock

• Long gravel drives on orchard and ranch parcels
• Farm stand and small business lots along Pearblossom Highway
• Equipment and truck yards that need a heavier section
• Driveway replacements on older homes
• Sealcoating and crack filling for drives that are still sound

Highway 138 frontage

Pearblossom Highway (State Route 138) is the main road through Littlerock. It is a state highway, and approach work there falls under Caltrans rather than the county. Side streets are Los Angeles County roads, where a county road permit covers driveway approach work. We confirm which agency applies to your frontage at the estimate.

Business lots on the highway

Farm stands, feed stores, restaurants and shops along Pearblossom Highway get customers who pull in fast off a busy road. Entrances take the hardest wear: braking, turning and trucks cutting the corner. We rebuild entrance aprons with a heavier section, shape them to drain away from the highway, and stripe lots so customers can find parking and the way back out. Sealing and restriping a lot together keeps it looking cared for to people driving past.

Equipment and truck yards

Ranch and contractor yards around Littlerock hold dump trucks, trailers and equipment that would rut a standard driveway in one season. For those, we build a deeper aggregate base and 4 inches or more of asphalt where loads are heaviest, the same kind of section cost guides describe for commercial lots, and keep lighter sections for car parking.

Elevation and weather

Littlerock sits at about 2,890 feet, higher than central Palmdale, about 11 miles southeast of Palmdale's Civic Center. Nights are cold in winter and summer afternoons are hot, so we schedule paving and sealing for the right part of the day. Call (661) 466-4552 or
