A great contractor with competitive proposal pricing. Crews look professional and do excellent work. Very satisfied customer. Thank you.
DRYCO was a savior in a Santa suit for our rescue pup, whose old kennel with a tarp top couldn't protect him from driving rain. Although DRYCO and its acquisition, Northern California Fence, have grown to service large, industrial-size jobs for corporate clients, we called for help since both companies have done excellent work for us in the past, when their powerhouse status was still just a goal. Thankfully, DRYCO owner Darren and Fidel of Northern California Fence remembered our small jobs, and took time out for another one: building a new kennel with a slanted aluminum roof to keep our year-old Hachi dry. Darren and Fidel didn't have to interrupt big business for our tiny project - but, with generosity and goodwill, they delivered like Santa in time for Christmas. There are not enough words or stars to adequately express our gratitude.
Dryco is a reputable company that has been around for a long time due to their great customer service.
Melantha Denise Strong I attended a DRYCO Seminar on August 17, 2018, and Loved it. Even the Jokes was comical. Not only did they feed my mind with some good information about Asphalt and concrete, but they also feed us one of my favorite places to have for lunch. I walked in not knowing anything about asphalt or concrete or how to explain to my vendor what I needed them to do for me and walked out with much more knowledge about both. Now I am able to walk my property and explain to a vendor what I need to have done when my maintenance staff is unavailable to assist. The owner was so inspirational and super funny and kept the class interesting, What a down to earth person. This company believes in value! and Family!! That alone is priceless!
Since 2005, Art at DRYCO has helped me to maintain 100's of parking lots, provided site work, engineering drawings, and signage. DRYCO provides expert advice, budgeting assistance, and more recently, educational seminars. They really stay on top of current technology, make smart recommendations, and are mindful of budgets.
DRYCO has really come through for us out here. They have met some impossible deadlines for us and it's much appreciated.

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.
Yes and no. The materials themselves cost about the same, but concrete is more expensive to pave with because it has to be laid down thicker (a minimum of 4 inches). Unlike concrete, asphalt is flexible and can be laid as thickly or thinly as you’d like. Long-term, however, asphalt is more expensive than concrete due to ongoing maintenance needs like sealcoating and regular repairs.
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.

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.
