Concord Asphalt Paving Guide: Permits, Weather, and Local Pros

Concord has 2 paving businesses of its own on Main Street, so this hub also lists 8 real contractors based in Bay Point, Berkeley, Emeryville, Oakland and Pittsburg, all within about 19 miles. This guide covers the encroachment permit and its published driveway fee, what NOAA weather records say about timing, and published local price ranges for driveway paving and sealcoating.

What asphalt work costs in Concord

We only list numbers from published sources that give a Concord figure. All figures in this table come from HomeBlue's Concord cost guides, published in 2022, so expect current quotes to differ.

HomeBlue says its driveway figures include tearing out an old asphalt driveway. We did not find a sourced Concord figure for patching or crack repair, so ask each contractor to price that separately.

City permits and the public right-of-way

Paving that stays entirely on your own lot does not touch the public right-of-way, but a driveway approach at the street does.

Encroachment permit. The City of Concord Engineering Division issues encroachment permits through its online permit portal, and requires its Standard Plans and Specifications for driveways, curbs, gutters and sidewalks in the right-of-way (see Encroachment). The City's FAQ lists $1,343.12 for removing and replacing a residential driveway approach, including a $500 refundable deposit, and $2,037.60 for a commercial approach, including a $1,000 deposit.

Private driveways. The same FAQ says a driveway entirely on private property needs no permit or fees from the Engineering Division.

Concord weather and the best time to pave

The closest long record we use for Concord is NOAA's 1991 to 2020 climate normals for the Concord Buchanan Field station, about 3.2 miles from the city center. It averages 16.1 inches of precipitation a year over about 33 days with a tenth of an inch or more. January is the wettest month at 3.2 inches and July the driest at less than a tenth of an inch. From June through September each month averages under half an inch while staying warm, which is the most reliable stretch for work that needs dry ground.

July highs average 88 degrees and December lows average 41. The station logs about 51 days a year at 90 degrees or hotter, and about 9 at 100 or more. It averages about 8 nights a year at or below freezing.

For sealcoat, SealMaster's guidance is 50 degrees and rising for 24 hours with no rain likely. At this station average lows stay at 50 or warmer in May through October. Hot mix paving is easiest when the ground is warm. Months with average lows of at least 40 and highs of at least 60 run February through November.
