San Tan Valley Asphalt Paving is an asphalt paving contractor serving Scottsdale, AZ with sealcoating, driveway paving, parking lot maintenance, and crack sealing. We have served the greater Phoenix area since 2015 and respond to estimate requests within one business day.
Scottsdale gets over 300 sunny days a year, and summer temperatures regularly exceed 105 degrees - conditions that drive the oils out of asphalt binder faster than almost any other U.S. city. Asphalt sealcoating every two to three years replenishes those oils, keeps the surface flexible, and dramatically extends the life of any driveway or lot.
South Scottsdale has many homes built in the 1950s and 1960s with original driveways that are well overdue for replacement. North Scottsdale homes often have paver or concrete driveways, but asphalt remains a popular, cost-effective option for properties with long runs or large turning areas.
Scottsdale has a large resort, hospitality, and retail sector with commercial lots that see intense daily use and constant UV exposure. Routine maintenance - sealcoating, crack filling, and re-striping - protects these lots and keeps them looking sharp for customers and guests.
Scottsdale's desert UV breaks down asphalt surfaces faster than almost any other climate, creating surface cracks that let monsoon water reach the base below. Crack sealing as soon as cracks appear is the most affordable way to avoid a full replacement down the road.
High-traffic commercial corridors along Scottsdale Road, Shea Boulevard, and in the Old Town area develop potholes and edge failures faster under heavy vehicle loads. Prompt pothole patching prevents damage to vehicles and exposes property owners to less liability.
Caliche soil across Scottsdale does not drain well, and low-lying properties near washes and the Indian Bend Wash corridor can accumulate water after monsoon storms. Proper drainage grading built into paving projects prevents water from pooling against structures and under driveways.
Scottsdale covers about 185 square miles and stretches more than 30 miles from its southern border near Tempe all the way north to the edge of the Tonto National Forest. That range means a lot of variation in housing age, soil conditions, and property types. The southern end, around Old Town, has homes built mostly in the 1950s and 1960s, many with original asphalt surfaces that have been through 60-plus years of desert heat cycles. North Scottsdale is newer - mostly built from the 1990s onward - with larger lots, paver driveways, and gated communities, but asphalt driveways and parking areas remain common even there. Both ends of the city deal with the same relentless UV exposure and the monsoon season that runs from July through mid-September.
Much of Scottsdale sits on caliche, the hard calcium carbonate layer found just below the surface across this part of Arizona. Caliche does not drain, so any water that gets under a cracked asphalt surface tends to stay there. During monsoon events, that trapped water softens the base material and causes the pavement above to shift and crack further. The Indian Bend Wash, which runs through the middle of the city and was engineered specifically to manage this flood risk, is a reminder of how fast water moves through Scottsdale when a storm hits. Properties near washes and drainage paths need proper grading built into every paving project.
Our crew works throughout Scottsdale regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect asphalt paving work here. The north-south length of the city is the first thing every contractor needs to account for - what is true of a 1960s block in south Scottsdale near Camelback Road is not true of a newer development near the McDowell Sonoran Preserve. We work in both ends of the city and know the difference in what each part of town needs.
Scottsdale Road runs the full length of the city from south to north and is the spine most of our crew travels when moving between jobs. The Loop 101 Pima Freeway along the west side connects the city to the rest of the Phoenix metro, and Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard and Shea Boulevard are the main east-west routes in the north half. The City of Scottsdale Development Services handles permits for paving work that adds new impervious surface or changes drainage patterns. Old Town, the resort corridor near Camelback and Shea, and the high-activity commercial strips along the Loop 101 keep us busy with commercial lot work throughout the year.
We also serve neighboring Chandler to the southwest and Tempe to the south. Both cities share Scottsdale's caliche soil challenges and the same monsoon drainage considerations that affect every asphalt project in this part of the valley.
Call us directly or submit the online estimate form. We reply within one business day. You do not need to be present for the initial assessment - an address and project description often gets us started.
We visit the property at no charge, measure the area, evaluate the existing base and drainage, and provide a written estimate before any commitment. Scottsdale properties in low-lying areas or near washes get a drainage review built into the assessment.
After you approve the estimate we schedule the job and handle any permit requirements through the City of Scottsdale. We can work early morning or weekend slots for commercial properties that need minimal disruption to guests or customers.
When work is finished we walk through the completed project with you before leaving. Sealcoating is ready for light foot traffic within about 24 hours. New asphalt paving needs two to three days to fully cure in Scottsdale's summer temperatures.
We serve all of Scottsdale - from Old Town to north Scottsdale near the McDowell Mountains. No obligation. We respond within one business day.
(480) 791-2959Scottsdale is one of Arizona's larger cities by area, covering about 185 square miles with a population of roughly 240,000. The city runs long and narrow from its southern edge near Tempe and Phoenix all the way north to the edge of the Tonto National Forest and the McDowell Mountains. Old Town Scottsdale, in the southern part of the city, is the historic commercial and entertainment district - home to galleries, restaurants, and the Western-themed architecture that defined the city's early growth. The oldest homes in Scottsdale are concentrated here, many built in the 1950s and 1960s on compact lots with concrete block or stucco construction. More about Scottsdale on Wikipedia.
Moving north through central Scottsdale and into the newer neighborhoods beyond Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard, the city transitions to larger lots, tile-roof stucco homes, gated communities, and master-planned neighborhoods built primarily from the 1990s onward. The McDowell Sonoran Preserve - a large protected desert park within the city limits - defines the character of north Scottsdale, where many homes back up to native Sonoran Desert landscape. The resort and hospitality sector is active throughout the city, from the Camelback Road corridor to the golf communities in the north. All of this adds up to a city with a wide range of property types and paving needs, from small residential driveways in south Scottsdale to large commercial lots near resort properties. We also work regularly in Chandler, where similar caliche soil conditions and monsoon drainage challenges apply to both residential and commercial paving projects.
