Serving Monrovia, CA and surrounding areas. (626) 263-8749
Monrovia Asphalt Paving is an Asphalt Paving Contractor serving Temple City, CA, with driveway paving, parking lot paving, and crack sealing for the city's mid-century residential neighborhoods and commercial properties. We have served the San Gabriel Valley since 2019 and reply to estimate requests within one business day.
The small businesses and commercial properties along Las Tunas Drive depend on parking areas that are in good condition and properly marked. Our parking lot paving work includes proper base preparation and grading so lots drain correctly and hold up to the traffic they carry year after year.
Most of Temple City's single-family homes were built in the 1950s and 1960s, which puts many original driveways well past their useful life. Asphalt driveway replacement on these compact lots needs careful planning so equipment can access the site without damaging adjacent landscaping or the neighbor's property.
Temple City's inland location brings long, hot summers with UV exposure that fades and oxidizes asphalt surfaces faster than what coastal areas see. Sealcoating every three to five years restores the surface color and seals out moisture before the winter rains arrive.
The clay-heavy soils throughout this part of the San Gabriel Valley create seasonal movement that opens cracks in driveways and parking areas each year. Sealing those cracks before the wet season prevents water from infiltrating the base and escalating a simple repair into a full replacement.
Alley-access driveways and rear paved areas are common on Temple City's compact residential lots, and these surfaces often show localized cracking or soft spots before the rest of the surface fails. Targeted patching extends the life of the surrounding pavement and avoids the cost of a full replacement when only a portion needs attention.
Flat lots in Temple City can collect standing water after winter rainstorms, and that water shortens the life of any adjacent paved surface by saturating the base. Grading corrections and drainage improvements protect driveways and parking areas from the subsurface damage that standing water causes over time.
Temple City covers roughly four square miles and is almost entirely built out. The housing stock is dominated by mid-century single-family homes, most of them constructed during the 1950s through 1970s. Driveways and rear concrete pads from that era are now 50 to 70-plus years old, and the combination of age, clay soil movement, and intense San Gabriel Valley heat has worked through many of them. The clay soils beneath this part of Los Angeles County expand during the wet season and contract sharply during the dry summer, creating the ongoing ground movement that fractures both concrete and asphalt surfaces year after year.
The city's compact lot sizes add a practical challenge: homes sit close together, and replacement work requires navigating tight spaces without disrupting a neighbor's property. Many Temple City lots also have garages accessed from alleys or narrow side driveways, which means equipment access needs to be planned carefully. A contractor familiar with this type of dense, postwar neighborhood knows how to work efficiently in those conditions without cutting corners on base preparation or drainage.
Our crew works throughout Temple City regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect asphalt paving work here. Temple City is a city without a freeway running through it, which means residents depend on Baldwin Avenue, Rosemead Boulevard, and Las Tunas Drive to get around - and those surface streets are the roads our crews travel to every job. City Hall is located at 9701 Las Tunas Drive, and the City of Temple City handles permit requirements for driveway apron changes and other work that affects the public right-of-way. We confirm what is needed before each job begins.
Whether a property is near Live Oak Park or closer to the Baldwin Avenue side of town, the streets here are tight and residential. We know how to move equipment in and out without blocking traffic or tearing up a lawn. We also serve customers in neighboring San Gabriel, CA and nearby Arcadia, CA, so we know this entire corner of the San Gabriel Valley well.

(626) 263-8749Temple City is a small, dense city in the western San Gabriel Valley, covering roughly four square miles and home to around 36,000 residents. The city was founded in 1923 and incorporated in 1960, and most of its neighborhoods were built out during the 1950s through 1970s. The housing stock is almost entirely single-family residential, with well-maintained stucco homes on modest lots. Las Tunas Drive is the main commercial corridor and home to City Hall, and the city has no freeway running directly through it - residents instead depend on Baldwin Avenue and Rosemead Boulevard to connect to the broader freeway network. Temple City is known for its stable, long-term homeowning community and its close ties to the San Gabriel Valley's Chinese-American community, which has grown substantially over recent decades.
Live Oak Park is the city's central gathering space, anchoring the recreational life of the neighborhood. The San Gabriel Mountains rise immediately to the north, creating the dramatic backdrop that gives this part of the valley its character and contributing to the Santa Ana wind events that sweep through each fall. Temple City borders Rosemead, CA to the south and is a short drive from El Monte, CA to the west, both areas we also serve regularly.
Durable concrete curbs and sidewalks that define clean edges.
