DRYCO has been providing our paving services for years and does an excellent job! Very responsive and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend this company.
We recently moved our Northern California headquarters into a new 14,000 sq ft facility in Pleasanton. DRYCO was responsible for a complete revitalization of the parking lot, including ADA improvements, sealcoat and striping. The crews showed up early in the morning, got right to work, and by the end of the day all of the concrete and sealcoating was finished. They then came back the next day—a Saturday—to do the striping so we could move in Monday without any interruption to our use of the facility. They were very well organized, with lots of guys and equipment, and no mess left behind. As a contractor myself as well as a business owner, I can appreciate the efficiency and quality of a job well done. Very impressed with DRYCO.

Variations in temperature cause pavement to expand and contract, and rain may cause the soil underneath to swell irregularly. All of this puts stress on the pavement, creating long cracks in a longitudinal (along the roadway) or transverse direction (across the roadway). These are quite common in California but can be kept in check through regular pavement maintenance. However, as the pavement ages, these cracks will appear with increasing density, forming large rectangular or square-shaped cracks. Known as block cracks, these cracks indicate that the pavement has lost its flexibility and may require major reconstruction depending on the severity of the problem.
In general, asphalt tends to be cheaper than concrete, but the cost comparison can vary depending on several factors. Factors that affect the price of asphalt and concrete in California include material availability, local market conditions, project size, labor costs, and transportation expenses.
Asphalt is typically more cost-effective due to its lower material and installation costs. It is produced from a mixture of aggregates and bitumen, which are widely available and less expensive than the cement used in concrete. Moreover, asphalt can be laid faster, reducing labor costs.
However, it’s important to note that long-term maintenance costs should also be considered. While asphalt may have lower upfront costs, it may require more frequent maintenance and repairs compared to concrete, which can affect the overall cost over time.
Ultimately, it’s advisable to consult with local contractors or professionals to obtain accurate pricing information based on specific project requirements and current market conditions.
On average, asphalt will last about 30 years, but maintenance is everything. Regularly sealcoating asphalt on schedule (first application within 2-3 years; every 3-5 years after that) will allow the pavement to stay flexible for as long as possible by protecting the binder (liquid asphalt) that holds the pavement together. In addition, setting up a proper pavement maintenance plan will significantly extend the life of your asphalt.
100%, absolutely yes. Sealcoating allows the asphalt to stay flexible by protecting the binder (liquid asphalt) that holds the asphalt together to significantly extend the life of your pavement. DRYCO always recommends two coats of sealer for double the wear.
Water-based sealers offer better UV protection and are more resistant to oil and gas spills. But unlike oil-based sealers, they also contain coal tar, a known carcinogen, and are no longer used in California.
Technically, yes, but the preparation and application is more tedious, time consuming, and technical than you may think, especially for a large scale job like a parking lot.
That depends on the weather, the amount of traffic, and the material used for the striping. If the traffic is light, the striping may last up to two years. In terms of materials, thermoplastic striping is thicker and more durable than paint and can be expected to last 3-6 years. The best rule of thumb with striping is to re-do it when it looks like it needs it.
Yes, you can grind, blast, or chemically dissolve striping paint from asphalt.

Causes of Pavement Deterioration
Raveling
Exposure to the elements cause the liquid asphalt binder in pavement to oxidize and become brittle, and the weight of vehicles causes the now brittle surface to crumble. Water then washes away the crumbled aggregate, diminishing pavement thickness and revealing a rough, rocky appearance.
Cracking
Variations in temperature cause pavement to expand and contract, and rain may cause the soil underneath to swell irregularly. All of this puts stress on the pavement, creating long cracks in a longitudinal (along the roadway) or transverse direction (across the roadway). These are quite common in California and can be kept in check through regular pavement maintenance. As the pavement ages, these cracks will appear with increasing density, forming block cracks. Block cracks indicate that the pavement has lost its flexibility and may require major reconstruction.
Alligatoring
When it rains or when irrigation overflows the landscaping, especially in areas with poor drainage, water enters the cracks and over time slowly carries away the “fines” of the subgrade over time. This causes unstable, unsupported pavement. The weight of vehicles causes the unsupported pavement to crack in a manner resembling alligator skin.
Pothole
Alligatoring will spread through the pavement like cancer, breaking the pavement into even smaller pieces that are cast aside, eventually forming potholes. Just like a leaky roof left unrepaired, the costs increase rapidly at this stage. Immediate response is highly recommended.
