Surface worn but base still solid? Resurfacing adds a fresh layer of asphalt at a fraction of the cost of a full tearout and replacement.

"They gave me a written estimate on a Tuesday and had the crew out by Friday. The sealcoating job on my driveway came out clean and even - no streaks, no mess left behind. Exactly what they said it would be."
"Our parking lot at the shop had potholes that kept coming back no matter how many times we patched them ourselves. Truegrade came out, assessed the base, and did it right. Six months later the surface is holding perfectly."
"We had the whole driveway replaced - long two-car wide run from the street to the garage. The crew finished in one day, the edges were clean, and the slope actually drains now instead of pooling near the garage door."
We respond within 1 business day. There is no obligation to move forward after your estimate. Once you submit, someone from our office will call to schedule a free on-site visit so we can look at your driveway or lot in person and give you a written quote.

Asphalt handles minor ground movement better than concrete, which matters in the clay-heavy soils around Lodi. It also costs less upfront and is easier to repair in sections when damage does occur.
Surface cracking from UV exposure is normal and fixable with crack sealing or sealcoating. Web-like "alligator" cracking means the base has failed - that requires resurfacing or replacement, not more patching.
An overlay places a fresh layer of asphalt over a structurally sound base, saving the cost of a full tearout. It works when the base is intact - if the base has failed, an overlay just delays the problem.
Ask for the contractor's California license number and verify it at cslb.ca.gov. Also confirm they carry liability insurance and workers' comp before any work begins.
A properly installed asphalt surface typically lasts 20 years or more with basic upkeep. Sealcoating every two to three years and filling small cracks early are the two habits that extend its life the most in this climate.
Paved surfaces direct runoff into storm drains, which connect to local waterways. The EPA's stormwater program provides guidance on managing runoff from impervious surfaces at the property level.
Truegrade Lodi Asphalt Paving is a licensed and insured asphalt paving contractor company based in Lodi, CA, serving 12 communities across the Central Valley since 2020.
Our California contractor's license is issued by the California Contractors State License Board (CSLB) - the state authority that oversees and regulates all licensed contractors in California. You can verify our license status any time at cslb.ca.gov.
We offer 16 asphalt and concrete services, from full driveway and parking lot paving to crack sealing, sealcoating, and drainage work. Every project comes with a written estimate and a crew that shows up when we say we will. Learn more about our team and background.
If cracks are spreading in a web-like pattern, the surface crumbles at the edges, or spots feel soft underfoot, the base has failed. Sealcoating over those signs delays cost but does not fix them.
Water enters the crack, works its way under the asphalt, and weakens the base. By spring, that hairline crack is often a pothole. Sealing cracks before the rains arrive is one of the most cost-effective things a property owner can do. The National Asphalt Pavement Association outlines industry best practices for pavement maintenance.
A reputable contractor visits the site before quoting, gives you a written estimate that details prep work and materials, and can provide a verifiable California contractor's license number.

Lodi is a city of roughly 65,000 to 70,000 people in San Joaquin County, sitting at the northern end of the county between Stockton and Sacramento. The City of Lodi is surrounded by vineyards and farmland - it sits at the heart of one of California's most recognized wine grape regions, known especially for Zinfandel. The flat valley floor, the clay-heavy soils, and the long hot summers all affect how asphalt and concrete surfaces perform here, and they shape how we approach every job we take on in this area.
Lodi has a wide mix of property types - older homes near the historic downtown district on Pine Street, newer stucco subdivisions that have grown to the north and east, commercial strips along State Route 99 and Cherokee Lane, and community gathering spots like Hutchins Street Square and Lodi Lake along the Mokelumne River. Whether you are in one of the older neighborhoods near downtown or a newer tract on the edge of town, we know this city, we work here regularly, and we can have a crew at your property when you need us.
By appointment only, no walk-ins.
