Asphalt Paving in Mojave, CA

Asphalt paving in Mojave serves a Kern County community with deep roots in transportation. Mojave began in 1876 as a construction camp on the Southern Pacific Railroad, and from 1884 to 1889 it was the western end of the 166-mile twenty-mule-team route to the Harmony Borax Works in Death Valley. It later served as headquarters for construction of the Los Angeles Aqueduct. Today it is home to the Mojave Air and Space Port, described as the first inland spaceport in the United States.

A town of renters

Mojave had 4,699 residents and 1,906 housing units at the 2020 census, and only about 39.4 percent of occupied homes were owner-occupied. That means a lot of rental homes, apartment lots and small commercial properties. For landlords and property managers, we price repair-and-seal plans and phased work alongside full replacement, so you can choose what fits the property's budget.

Weather

Mojave sits at about 2,762 feet with a desert climate. July highs average about 97.7 degrees and January lows about 34.3 degrees, with roughly 6 inches of rain a year. The record high is 118 degrees and the record low 8 degrees. Sun and heat age asphalt quickly, and wind off the Tehachapi Wind Resource Area carries sand across every open surface.

Kern County permits

Mojave is unincorporated Kern County. Kern County requires a permit for all work in the county right-of-way, and the permit office must be notified 48 hours before work starts. We handle that step when the job reaches the street.

Space port and aviation businesses

The Mojave Air and Space Port is home to aerospace companies and the National Test Pilot School, and businesses around it need employee parking, access drives and yards. Those lots tend to be large and flat, exposed to constant wind. We grade them to drain, build entrances heavier, and stripe them with accessible stalls counted to the lot's size.

Repair-and-seal for rentals

For a rental with a sound but worn driveway, crack filling at about $100 to $400 per driveway (Angi) and sealcoating at about $400 to $800 for a 20 by 20 foot drive (HomeGuide) can keep it serviceable for years. We give you that option alongside replacement so you can decide per property.

Wind and sand

We sweep and blow off every surface right before sealing so blown sand does not get trapped in the coat.

Older homes in town

Mojave's older neighborhoods date back decades, and many driveways there were laid thin over native soil. Those drives crack and break up at the edges no matter how often they are patched. We show owners where the base has failed and price a rebuild of those sections alongside a full replacement.

Scheduling

Mojave is a longer drive from Palmdale, so we often group work here. Call (661) 466-4552 or
