Large campuses, tree lined streets and high standards shape paving work in Palo Alto.

Large R&D Campuses

Research park lots cover a lot of ground and need phased maintenance.

Mature street and lot trees lift asphalt, curbs and walkways.

Neighbor Sensitivity

More EV stalls mean new striping layouts and signage.

Our Process

How Paving Projects Work in Palo Alto

We recently had Catos Paving complete the concrete work for our shop, and the project just passed the city inspection with no issues.

Their crew was professional, showed up when they said they would, kept the job site organized, and delivered quality work. Communication throughout the project was great, and they were responsive whenever we had questions.

Most importantly, the finished work met the city’s requirements and successfully passed inspection, which gave us confidence that everything was done correctly. We received the report for the concrete strength test

& they exceeded expectations.

I’d definitely recommend Catos Paving to anyone looking for reliable, professional concrete and paving work.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a great experience working with Cato's Paving. They came in to help on a commercial TI. Walked the site, provided a quote, completed the work and had some added unforeseen scope that they helped with. Solid experience from estimating through completion of the work.

Robby the team lead was responsive before, during, and after the service to ensure optimal results and fulfillment of the contractual agreement.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jay from Torres Quality Seal Coating and Striping was incredibly communicative, punctual, and professional from start to finish. I hired him to fill and seal cracks in my asphalt, and even though I had to work all day and couldn’t be there, he kept me updated throughout the entire process. He was clear about what was going to be done, trustworthy, and delivered excellent results. I highly recommend Jay at Torres Quality Seal Coating and Striping for anyone needing reliable and professional asphalt work.
