Riverstone Highland Asphalt Paving serves Fontana with commercial asphalt paving, parking lot maintenance, driveway repair, and sealcoating - a local crew that understands the heat, clay soils, and heavy-traffic wear patterns unique to this city, with free written estimates and replies within one business day.
Fontana has a large and growing commercial base, with strip retail, industrial facilities, and logistics properties spread across its major corridors. Our commercial asphalt paving work covers new lots, full replacements, and ADA-compliant resurfacing for businesses along Sierra Avenue, Foothill Boulevard, and the industrial zones near I-10 and I-15.
Summer temperatures in Fontana regularly push above 100 degrees, and that heat oxidizes unprotected asphalt binder faster than in coastal climates. Sealcoating every two to three years is the most cost-effective protection available for both driveways and commercial parking lots in this city - it slows oxidation, repels water, and extends pavement life significantly.
Older commercial properties along Fontana's main corridors often have lots that have gone many years without sealing or crack repair. Regular maintenance - crack sealing, sealcoating, and re-striping on a consistent schedule - prevents the kind of base failure that turns a routine maintenance budget into an expensive full replacement project.
Fontana's role as a logistics hub means heavy trucks use not just the freeways but surface streets near distribution centers and warehouses. That load and vibration accelerates pothole formation on private drives and commercial aprons adjacent to those corridors. We cut out the failed area, rebuild the base, and install a hot-mix repair that bonds solidly to the surrounding pavement.
A large share of Fontana homes were built between the mid-1980s and early 2000s, meaning many concrete and asphalt driveways in the city are now 20 to 40 years old. When cracking has spread across most of the surface or the base has shifted from clay soil movement, full replacement with a properly compacted base is the more cost-effective long-term choice.
The clay soils common under many Fontana neighborhoods expand when winter rains arrive and shrink again through the dry summer. That seasonal movement opens new cracks every year. Sealing those cracks promptly before the next wet season keeps water out of the base and is far less expensive than waiting for base failure.
Fontana is the second-largest city in San Bernardino County, covering roughly 42 square miles that range from the older flatland neighborhoods near Foothill Boulevard and the Kaiser Steel legacy areas in the south to newer master-planned communities in the northern foothills near the San Gabriel Mountains. That geographic and generational range means property types vary considerably - and so does what each one needs from an asphalt contractor. A 1990s tract home in the flatlands has different soil and drainage conditions than a newer foothills property on a sloped lot, and a commercial parking lot near the I-10/I-15 interchange carries different load demands than a residential street further north.
The climate adds another layer. Fontana sits well inland, where summer heat regularly exceeds 100 degrees and UV intensity is much higher than at the coast. That heat softens and oxidizes asphalt binder, and without regular sealcoating, surfaces go gray and brittle within a few years. The clay-heavy soils found across much of the valley floor compound the problem - those soils swell with winter rain and shrink through the dry season, putting steady upward and lateral pressure on pavement edges and driveways. A contractor who does not account for both the heat and the soil movement will produce work that fails faster than it should.
Our crew works throughout Fontana regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect asphalt paving work here. Fontana is a city with two distinct characters - the older flatland neighborhoods south of the 210 freeway, where many homes date from the 1980s and 1990s and driveways have seen decades of Inland Empire heat, and the newer foothills developments north of SR-210, where lots are larger and hillside grading affects drainage in ways that flat lots do not have to account for. We pull permits through the City of Fontana Engineering Division when project scope requires it, and we are familiar with the department's requirements. For questions about city permits, the Engineering Division can be reached at fontanaca.gov.
We also serve neighboring Rialto, CA, which borders Fontana to the south along Foothill Boulevard and shares similar post-war housing stock and clay soil conditions. Jobs in Fontana and Rialto frequently run in the same week. We also work regularly in the broader corridor stretching toward San Bernardino, CA, and are familiar with the traffic patterns, property types, and permit offices across the western Inland Empire.
Reach us by phone or through the contact form on this site. We reply within one business day and schedule a time to visit your Fontana property - no commitment required at this stage.
We assess the existing pavement, check base condition, and review drainage. You receive a written, itemized estimate before any work is scheduled - no surprise costs after the job starts.
We schedule around your availability and, for commercial jobs, around your business hours. Most residential jobs are completed in a single day; larger commercial projects are phased to minimize disruption.
After the work is done, we walk you through cure time and any restrictions on vehicle use. New asphalt typically needs 24 to 48 hours before vehicle traffic, depending on temperature - which matters in Fontana summers.
We serve Fontana and the surrounding Inland Empire. No obligation - just a clear, written price before any work begins.
(909) 737-6516Fontana is one of the largest cities in San Bernardino County, with a population well above 200,000 spread across roughly 42 square miles. The city grew rapidly after the closure of the Kaiser Steel mill in the 1980s, with large residential tracts filling in across its northern and central areas through the 1990s and 2000s. Today those neighborhoods - typically single-story or two-story stucco homes on modest lots with concrete driveways and block-wall fencing - make up the bulk of the city's housing stock. The city of Fontana sits at the crossroads of I-10, I-15, and SR-210, making it a central logistics and commuter hub for the entire region.
The northern foothills near the San Gabriel Mountains have newer, larger-lot master-planned communities developed mostly in the late 1990s through the 2010s. The Pacific Electric Trail, a paved multi-use path along the former rail right-of-way, runs through the city and connects neighborhoods from east to west. Fontana is also home to the Auto Club Speedway, one of Southern California's most recognizable motorsports venues. We serve Fontana along with neighboring Rialto, CA and Bloomington, CA, covering properties across the western end of the Inland Empire.
