What asphalt work costs in Fullerton

We only list numbers from published sources that give a Fullerton figure. All figures in this table come from HomeBlue's Fullerton 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 Fullerton 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 the parkway and driveway approach at the street do.

Encroachment permit. The City of Fullerton Public Works Engineering Division says encroachment permits are required for most work in the public right-of-way, and that the street right-of-way usually extends behind the curb even where there is no sidewalk (see Encroachment Permits). Permits are issued at the Engineering counter on the second floor of City Hall, to an owner/builder or a contractor. A contractor who applies needs a valid Fullerton business license, and a refundable cash deposit may be required.

Before digging. The City requires a call to Underground Service Alert at least two working days before any excavation, and work follows City standards and the Green Book.

Fullerton weather and the best time to pave

The closest long record we use for Fullerton is NOAA's 1991 to 2020 climate normals for the Fullerton Municipal Airport station, about 3.1 miles from the city center. It averages 11.9 inches of precipitation a year over about 19 days with a tenth of an inch or more. February is the wettest month at 3 inches and July the driest at less than a tenth of an inch. From May through September each month averages under half an inch while staying warm, which is the most reliable stretch for work that needs dry ground.

August highs average 87 degrees and December lows average 46. The station logs about 39 days a year at 90 degrees or hotter, and about 4 at 100 or more. Freezing nights are rare, under one a year on average.

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 March through November. Every month averages lows of 40 or more with highs of 60 or more, so paving temperature is rarely the limit; rain is.
