Riverstone Highland Asphalt Paving is your local asphalt paving contractor in Highland, CA, handling driveway paving, parking lot paving, and asphalt repairs for homes and businesses across the city - serving Highland since 2017.
Homes in Highland built in the 1960s through the 1980s frequently have original asphalt driveways that are past their useful life. Our asphalt paving service covers full driveway replacement and new paving, with proper base preparation that accounts for the clay soils common in the Inland Empire.
Highland summers are hard on asphalt. The combination of intense heat, strong UV, and low humidity dries out the binder and causes surface cracking. Sealcoating every two to three years seals the surface, blocks UV damage, and can double the usable life of your pavement without the cost of full replacement.
Most Highland homes have a single or double driveway that takes daily punishment from vehicles, sun, and rain runoff from nearby mountain terrain. We install new driveways with the correct thickness and drainage slope so water moves away from the structure rather than pooling near the foundation.
The clay soils in Highland shift with seasonal wet-dry cycles, and those movements open cracks in asphalt surfaces every few years. Sealing those cracks early keeps water from getting under the base layer, which is the main cause of accelerated pavement failure in this area.
Potholes in Highland form quickly when winter rains push water under a cracked surface. Once the base erodes, the asphalt above it collapses under vehicle weight. We cut out the damaged area, rebuild the base, and patch with hot or cold mix to give you a lasting, level repair rather than a temporary fill.
Properties on the north side of Highland, closer to the San Bernardino Mountains, deal with runoff from higher terrain that flat valley homes do not. We install channel drains, French drains, and re-graded surfaces that move water away from your driveway and foundation before it causes damage.
Highland sits at the base of the San Bernardino Mountains, and that location shapes everything about how asphalt behaves here. Summers regularly hit over 100 degrees, which softens and oxidizes pavement surfaces faster than in cooler climates. The low humidity and strong UV radiation common in the Inland Empire break down the asphalt binder, causing surface cracking and brittleness that you would not see as quickly in coastal areas. A contractor unfamiliar with these conditions may use materials or techniques suited to milder climates and deliver results that do not hold up through a full Highland summer.
The clay-heavy soils in the Highland area are the other major factor. These soils swell when winter rains arrive and shrink back when the dry season returns. That movement repeats every year and stresses the base layer beneath your asphalt from below. When base preparation is not done correctly for these conditions, cracks form within a few years regardless of how thick the asphalt layer is. We account for soil type and drainage when planning every job in Highland, because getting the base right is what determines whether the surface lasts one decade or three.
Our crew works throughout Highland regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect asphalt paving work here. We have been serving Highland since 2017, pulling permits from the City of Highland Building Division when right-of-way work requires one, and we know which neighborhoods have the steepest grades and which areas drain slowly after rain. Homes near Base Line Road and in the residential streets north toward the mountains are in our regular rotation, and we plan equipment routes around the SR-210 corridor to stay on schedule.
Highland is a city where most homes were built between the 1950s and the 1990s, and that building stock comes with aging flatwork, older driveways, and faded parking surfaces that are due for attention. We also serve the neighboring community of Mentone, CA, which shares similar soil conditions and building ages. Whether your property is right off Base Line or tucked into a hillside neighborhood closer to City Creek, we can get to you quickly and are familiar with the site conditions you will likely encounter.
Reach us by phone at (909) 737-6516 or through the contact form. We reply within one business day and ask enough questions to give you an accurate estimate without wasting your time.
We visit the property, check the base condition, measure the area, and assess drainage. You receive a written estimate with a clear line-item price - no guesswork, no surprise additions once work starts.
We handle base prep, material delivery, and paving on the agreed date. For a residential driveway in Highland, that typically means a single full work day from crew arrival to cleanup.
New asphalt needs 24 to 48 hours before vehicle traffic is allowed. We walk through the finished surface with you, answer any questions, and let you know when sealcoating is recommended to protect the investment.

(909) 737-6516Highland is a city of roughly 50,000 to 55,000 people in San Bernardino County, incorporated in 1987 after decades as an unincorporated community. It sits at the southern edge of the San Bernardino Mountains, bordered by the city of San Bernardino to the west and Redlands to the east. The landscape shifts from flat valley floor in the south to hillside residential neighborhoods in the north, where properties sit on sloped lots with longer driveways and more complex drainage needs. City Creek runs through the city, draining mountain runoff toward the valley. Residents can find more information about the city and its building services at highlandca.gov.
The city is primarily residential, with most of the housing stock made up of single-family homes on modest lots. Base Line Road serves as the main east-west corridor, connecting Highland to neighboring communities, while SR-210 provides the primary freeway access. Many Highland homes were built between the 1950s and the 1990s, and the combination of age and the local climate means driveways, flatwork, and pavement surfaces across the city are in regular need of maintenance or replacement. We also serve nearby San Bernardino, CA to the west, where similar building ages and soil conditions create the same patterns of pavement wear.
