Lodi Asphalt Paving Guide: Costs, Permits, and Timing

Lodi has hot summers, cool winters with occasional freezes, and rain that falls mostly from November through March, and driveway installation or replacement in the City right-of-way needs a construction encroachment permit. This guide covers Lodi's encroachment permit rules and how to time paving around the local weather. We did not find a published Lodi cost guide, so we do not list local prices; get written quotes from more than one contractor. The contractor list above shows paving pros who serve Lodi on Main Street.
