Meridian Beaumont Asphalt Paving serves Highland with asphalt repair, driveway paving, sealcoating, and pothole patching - and we understand how the clay soils and mountain runoff here stress pavement in ways flat-valley cities never see. We respond to every inquiry within 1 business day.
Highland driveways built in the 1960s through the 1990s are now old enough that the base underneath has shifted with decades of clay soil movement, and surface repairs that do not address the base just crack again. See how we approach asphalt repair.
Inland Highland summers push temperatures well past 100 degrees, which bakes the oils out of asphalt and turns it gray and brittle long before its time. Sealcoating every two to four years is the most affordable way to double the life of your pavement here.
Many Highland homeowners on hillside lots north of Base Line Road deal with driveways on a slope, where water runoff channels along the edges and gradually undermines the base over winter rain seasons. We account for grade and drainage when we lay a new driveway here.
Winter rain from the San Bernardino Mountains saturates the soil under driveways and parking surfaces, and once that water reaches a weak spot in the base, a pothole opens quickly once things dry out. Patching while the hole is small keeps the repair cost low.
The wet-dry cycle in Highland - winter mountain rain followed by a long dry summer - is exactly what pushes water through cracks and into the base. Sealing cracks as soon as they appear is the cheapest form of pavement maintenance available.
Properties near City Creek or on the hillside slopes that lead down from the San Bernardino Mountains can collect significant runoff during heavy rain events. Proper drainage channels installed alongside paving protect the surface from the water erosion that destroys pavement edges.
Highland sits at the base of the San Bernardino Mountains, and that geography shapes almost every asphalt problem homeowners here encounter. The soils across the city are heavily clay-based, meaning they absorb water and expand when it rains and then contract when things dry out. That seasonal movement puts constant stress on concrete and asphalt from below. Homes built in the 1960s through the 1990s - the dominant era for Highland housing - now sit on decades of accumulated soil movement, which is why cracked driveways and shifted pavement are so common in established neighborhoods.
Above the surface, the heat is equally punishing. Summer temperatures in Highland regularly exceed 100 degrees, and the low humidity inland keeps the drying effect constant through the entire warm season. Asphalt binder loses its flexibility under sustained heat and UV exposure, which is why unsealed pavement here can oxidize and become brittle in just a few years. On the hillside properties closer to the mountains, there is the added challenge of grade - water moves off a sloped driveway differently than a flat one, and the base needs to be prepared with that drainage path in mind.
Our crew works throughout Highland regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect asphalt paving work here. The city incorporated in 1987, which means most of its housing stock predates that and was built during the post-war decades when standard practice for driveway bases was less rigorous than today. We encounter a lot of driveways in Highland where the original base is too thin or was compacted inadequately, and we always assess base condition before quoting a repair so customers know whether they need a surface fix or something more substantial.
Whether a job is in a neighborhood off Base Line Road, near State Route 210 through the middle of the city, or up on a hillside lot where the terrain rises toward the national forest boundary, we know how to route to it and plan for it. Highland borders San Bernardino, CA to the west, and we serve both cities regularly. We also work across the city border into Redlands, CA to the east, so we cover this entire stretch of the Inland Empire.
Reach us at (909) 766-6720 or through the online form. We respond within 1 business day to schedule a site visit in Highland at a time that is convenient for you.
We walk the site, probe the existing base, check drainage and grade, and give you a written quote that itemizes every part of the job. No ballpark numbers - you see what is included before committing to anything.
If the project touches a public sidewalk or street approach, we confirm what the City of Highland or San Bernardino County requires and handle permits before the crew arrives. We schedule work for a day with weather suitable for hot-mix paving.
We clean up the site when work is done and give you clear curing instructions - typically 24 to 72 hours off the surface, longer in summer heat. You will know exactly when it is safe to use your driveway again.
We serve all of Highland, CA - from Base Line Road to the hillside neighborhoods near the mountains. Free estimates, written quotes, and 1 business day response.
(909) 766-6720Highland is a mid-sized city in San Bernardino County with a population of roughly 50,000 to 55,000. It incorporated in 1987, carving out its own city limits from unincorporated county land at the base of the San Bernardino Mountains. The city is predominantly residential, with the largest share of its housing stock consisting of single-family detached homes built between the 1950s and the 1990s. Most of those homes sit on modest lots with attached or detached garages, concrete or asphalt driveways, and the concrete block walls that are standard property dividers throughout this part of Southern California. Visit the City of Highland for permit and code information specific to this municipality.
The northern edge of Highland rises into the foothills below the San Bernardino National Forest, giving homes in that part of the city a more rural feel and steeper lots. State Route 210 - the Foothill Freeway - cuts through Highland and is the main freeway connection for residents commuting west toward San Bernardino or east toward Redlands. Base Line Road is the main surface street running east-west through the city, flanked by commercial strips and the residential neighborhoods that spread in both directions from it. Neighbors in Loma Linda, CA and Redlands, CA to the east share many of the same soil and climate conditions, and we serve those communities as well.
