How We Helped a Richmond Business with Seamless Asphalt Removal & Replacement

When the owners of a Richmond business reached out to us via referral, they had one clear goal: get their facility’s asphalt resurfaced quickly and with zero disruption to their operations. At APCO Paving Co., we knew the stakes were high—so every hour on the clock mattered.

From Referral to Mobilization — Fast

This project in Richmond, CA, came to us through a trusted recommendation, and from day one, we understood the pressure. The client’s property was in active use. They couldn’t afford long closures, delays, or mess that might scare off customers or delay deliveries.

Our first step: a detailed walk-through.

We mapped ingress and egress points, truck routes, and backup plans. We scheduled work in phases so we could maintain critical surface access. Then we mobilized equipment and materials strategically to hit the ground running.

Cutting Out the Old — Phased Demolition

Removing the existing asphalt had to be done methodically. Because we couldn’t shut down the entire site at once, we:

  • Sectioned the work area into zones
  • Pulled out the old material layer by layer
  • Ensured proper disposal and clean-up as we progressed

By working zone by zone, we preserved traffic flow for the rest of the property during the demolition stage.

Rebuilding the Surface — Precision & Efficiency

Once the site was clear, we laid down a fresh base, added proper compaction, and paved the new asphalt surface. Our team used high-grade materials and adhered to best practices in:

  • Thickness and slope
  • Drainage and runoff
  • Joints and transitions

Because we’d pre-planned staging zones, we could bring in our crew seamlessly and prevent overlap or delays.

Zero Business Interruption — Mission Accomplished

The customer’s main ask was: “Get this done fast, get it done clean, and don’t slow us down.” We delivered. The business stayed open throughout the project. Access points remained safe and clear when needed. At the end, the site looked spotless.

“The customer loved how clean and quick the project was completed.”

That feedback means everything to us. When you’re running a business, downtime is costly. That’s why we plan around your schedule—not ours.
