Parking Lot Maintenance
A Costco lot doesn’t get a slow week, and any lane closure costs the property real money. This lot showed the wear you’d expect from thousands of daily trips: cracking across the drive aisles, oxidized and faded asphalt, and stall lines and ADA markings worn down to ghost lines. Cato’s Paving planned the entire job around the holiday closure, so every phase was completed and cured before customers returned.
Our crews power-swept the full lot, treated oil and fuel spots, and filled cracks with hot-applied rubberized sealant to keep water out of the base. We then applied two coats of commercial-grade sealcoat with sand additive, restoring the deep black finish and protecting the pavement from UV, oxidation, and fluid damage. Once cured, we laid out and restriped every standard stall, drive-aisle marking, and crosswalk or fire lane from the original plan.
We also restored the multiple ADA stalls and access aisles to current ADA and California Title 24 requirements, including the blue stall markings, accessibility symbols, striped aisles, and “No Parking” marking. The store reopened to a uniform black surface, sealed pavement, sharp lines, and compliant accessible parking, with zero lost operating days. For property managers, that’s the value of preventive maintenance: it costs a fraction of resurfacing and keeps tenant revenue protected.
Commercial Asphalt Patchwork
This asphalt maintenance project at Levi’s Stadium involved repairing and restoring an 855 sq. ft. section of existing pavement. Our crew located and removed damaged asphalt and debris, properly prepared the area, and applied SS-1 tack oil to the base and edges to ensure strong adhesion.
We then furnished, placed, and compacted 2 inches of new asphalt, matching the surrounding pavement to create a smooth, flush finish.
The completed repair improved pavement durability, appearance, and overall surface performance in a high-traffic stadium environment.
Waterfront Parking Lot Reconstruction
This commercial property sits right on the San Francisco Bay at the Berkeley Marina, where it gets steady visitor traffic, delivery trucks and constant exposure to moisture from the water. The pavement across the parking lot and the road between the lot and the water had worn past the point of maintenance. Cato’s Paving came in to rebuild both from the base up so the property could hold up in a waterfront setting for years to come.
Our crew milled out and removed the existing asphalt. We excavated and stabilized the subgrade to create a strong, uniform foundation, which matters even more on a site this close to the water. Once the base was graded and compacted, we paved in two sections based on how each area is used: 3 inches of new hot mix asphalt across 60,000 sq ft, and a heavier 5 inch section across 32,930 sq ft where the pavement needed more structure. We also worked around and tied into the site’s drain inlets so water drains properly across the new surface.
To finish, we striped the entire lot, laid out ADA accessible stalls and markings, and installed new signage, so the property was ready for visitors the moment it reopened. The result is 92,930 sq ft of new asphalt with a clean, organized layout that matches the property’s waterfront location. If you manage a commercial property with pavement that has gone past patching, Cato’s Paving can take the job from demolition through the final stripe. Contact us at www.catospaving.com.

Full-Depth Concrete Replacement
Cato’s Paving completed a full-depth concrete replacement at an industrial facility in Oakland. The existing concrete had failed and needed to be removed entirely rather than patched.
Our crew saw-cut, demolished, and hauled off the old slab, then evaluated and regraded the exposed base to ensure a stable, properly compacted foundation. We poured new 5,000 PSI concrete reinforced with fiberglass mesh at a full 8-inch thickness built to handle heavy industrial loads and finished it with a broom texture for slip resistance.
This project covered over 26,000 sq ft and was completed in 10 days with a full crew and trucking fleet on site.

School Playground Reconstruction
Cato’s Paving recently completed a full-scale playground and sports court rehabilitation project for a Palo Alto school, transforming over 20,644 square feet of aging asphalt into a safe, attractive, and long-lasting recreational space for students.
The project began with the complete removal and demolition of the existing blacktop surface. Our team then performed precision grading to establish proper drainage and a stable foundation before installing a brand-new asphalt pavement section throughout the entire playground area.
Once paving was completed, we finished the project with professional athletic and playground striping, creating multiple basketball courts, four square courts, kickball field, tetherball areas, and various playground games designed to maximize student recreation and activity.
What makes this project especially remarkable is that the entire demolition, grading, paving, and striping process was completed in just 4 days, minimizing disruption and allowing the school to be ready to the local neighborhood.
At Cato’s Paving, we specialize in delivering high-quality asphalt solutions for schools, commercial properties, municipalities, and community facilities throughout the Bay Area. Whether you need a complete reconstruction, resurfacing, athletic court striping, or pavement maintenance, our experienced team is committed to delivering exceptional results on time and on budget.
Parking Lot Sealcoat
Cato’s Paving recently completed a 7,000-square-foot commercial parking lot sealcoating project in San Leandro, restoring the pavement’s appearance while adding a durable layer of protection against daily wear and the elements.
To provide enhanced traction and long-lasting performance, we applied a premium sand and latex-modified sealcoat, followed by two full coats for maximum coverage and durability. This high-quality application helps protect asphalt from UV rays, water intrusion, oxidation, fuel spills, and premature deterioration—extending the life of the pavement while giving it a clean, uniform black finish.
Our experienced crew completed the entire project in just a few hours, minimizing downtime and allowing the property to return to normal operations as quickly as possible without sacrificing quality.
Routine sealcoating is one of the most cost-effective ways to preserve your asphalt investment, improve curb appeal, and reduce the need for expensive repairs in the future.
Whether you manage a shopping center, office complex, industrial property, HOA, or commercial facility, Cato’s Paving delivers professional sealcoating services that keep your pavement protected and looking its best.
Multi-Phase Walkway Replacement
Cato’s Paving completed a phased concrete sidewalk replacement at the CitiBank branch in Hayward, working around approximately 3,018 sq ft of existing sidewalk surrounding the main building.
Because the site needed to stay accessible and operational throughout, we broke the project into six phases across eight days rather than closing the area all at once. Our crew saw-cut and removed the failed sections, excavated and prepped the base to industry-standard specs, and installed dowels into the adjoining sidewalk to tie the new sections into the old — keeping everything structurally continuous instead of just patched in place.
We poured new 3,000 PSI concrete at 4 inches, graded to match the surrounding elevations, and finished with a light broom texture for a consistent, slip-resistant surface across the whole site.

Road Work Full Remove & Replace
This Menlo Park roadway had reached the point where patching no longer made sense. Cracking, potholes, and widespread surface deterioration were making for a rough, unsafe ride, and the damage would only spread as water worked into the pavement. Cato’s Paving completed a full removal and replacement of the failed asphalt across a 9,000 sq ft section, addressing the problem at its source instead of covering it up.
Our crews used a grinder to remove the damaged asphalt, then compacted the subgrade to create a solid, stable foundation. That step matters most, because new asphalt is only as good as what’s underneath it. We then installed 4 inches of new hot mix asphalt and compacted it to a smooth, dense finish built to hold up under daily traffic.
The result is a road that looks and performs like new, with a clean, safe driving surface and no potholes or cracking to worry about. If you manage a property with pavement that’s past the point of repair, Cato’s Paving can handle the full job from removal to finish. Contact us at
Full Demolition and Repavement
This 25,000 sq. ft. roadway sits alongside a freeway on-ramp and a newly developed apartment complex, which meant it needed to handle both daily residential traffic and the wear of a high-volume corridor. Cato’s Paving took on the resurfacing to restore ride quality and durability for a growing community that depends on this stretch of road.
Our crew prepared the previously milled surface by thoroughly sweeping and cleaning the roadway, then applied tack oil to bond the new asphalt to the existing base. We installed 3 inches of new hot mix asphalt and compacted it for a smooth, durable finish built to handle both residential and high-traffic use.
The completed project delivered a smoother ride, a stronger long-term surface, and a noticeable improvement in appearance for a corridor that sees constant activity from both commuters and residents. For property and roadway managers dealing with high-traffic pavement wear, Cato’s Paving handles projects from prep through final finish.
