Florence-Graham Asphalt Paving serves Inglewood homeowners and commercial property owners with parking lot paving, driveway installation, sealcoating, and crack sealing, with crews who understand the city's older mid-century housing, clay soil conditions, and the City of Inglewood permit process. We have been working in this part of the South Bay since 2017.

Inglewood's commercial corridors along Century Boulevard and Manchester Boulevard carry daily traffic volumes that quickly wear down any parking surface that was not built to handle them, and the redevelopment around the Hollywood Park site has raised expectations for how commercial properties look and function. We install and resurface parking lots with the base depth and compaction these high-use sites demand. Learn more about our parking lot paving services.
Inglewood's bungalows and ranch-style homes were mostly built between the 1930s and 1960s, and many of those original concrete driveways are now severely cracked or sunken. We replace aging driveways with new asphalt over a compacted gravel base, graded to direct water away from the house and hold up through the seasonal soil movement that affects properties throughout this part of Los Angeles County.
Southern California's strong year-round sunshine causes UV oxidation that dries out and fades asphalt faster than in cooler regions. Inglewood properties within a few miles of the coast benefit from ocean breezes that moderate heat, but UV levels remain high throughout the year. Sealcoating every two to three years keeps the surface protected and flexible.
The Newport-Inglewood Fault runs through or near the city, and even minor seismic events can open new cracks in driveways and parking surfaces that were already under stress from clay soil movement. Sealing those cracks as soon as they appear prevents water from reaching the base layer, where it does the most expensive damage.
Multi-unit apartment buildings and commercial properties throughout Inglewood have shared parking areas that take daily wear from many vehicles. Routine maintenance - sealcoating, crack filling, and restriping - protects these surfaces between full replacement cycles and keeps lots safe and properly marked for tenants and customers.
When water gets into a crack in an Inglewood driveway or parking lot and the base softens, the surface above collapses into a pothole. Near the LAX corridor, heavier vehicle traffic accelerates that process on commercial properties. We remove the failed material, compact fresh base, and patch the surface so the repair holds rather than opening up again after the next rain.
Inglewood is a mid-sized city in southwestern Los Angeles County with a population of around 100,000 to 110,000. Most of the city was developed between the 1920s and 1960s, which means the housing stock is older and a large share of the original paving infrastructure - driveways, parking surfaces, and walkways - is well past its expected lifespan. Bungalows, small ranch homes, and older apartment buildings make up the bulk of Inglewood's residential landscape, and the compact lot sizes mean contractors need to work carefully in tight spaces. The Newport-Inglewood Fault runs through or very near the city, adding a seismic dimension to the cracking and settling that clay soil movement already produces on its own.
The presence of Los Angeles International Airport along Inglewood's western border means the city is one of the most traffic-intensive parts of the South Bay, with Century Boulevard and surrounding streets handling a level of commercial vehicle use that accelerates pavement wear compared to quieter residential cities. The Hollywood Park redevelopment - which includes SoFi Stadium and new commercial and residential construction - has also increased expectations for how properties in that part of Inglewood are maintained. Getting base depth, drainage slope, and surface compaction right from the start is the most important factor in how long any pavement investment holds up here.
Our crew works throughout Inglewood regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect asphalt paving work here. Permit requirements for parking lot paving and larger paving projects go through the City of Inglewood's Building and Safety Division at One Manchester Boulevard, and the process differs from unincorporated LA County permitting that some contractors are more familiar with. We handle permit submissions for jobs that require them so the project does not stall waiting on paperwork.
We work on properties near Century Boulevard and Manchester Boulevard, on the quieter residential streets north of the 105 Freeway, and in the apartment-dense blocks throughout central Inglewood. The Kia Forum and SoFi Stadium are easy reference points for the western part of the city, and we work regularly in those surrounding neighborhoods. We also serve nearby Hawthorne and Gardena, and the same crews that know Inglewood cover both of those adjacent cities.
Reach out by phone or the contact form and we will respond within one business day to schedule a visit at a time that works for you. No commitment is required to get an estimate.
We visit the property, check the existing base and surface condition, and give you a written estimate before any work starts. For commercial lots, we assess base requirements separately since properties near the airport corridor or high-event areas like SoFi Stadium often need heavier base sections than residential driveways.
We handle all preparation, material delivery, and site cleanup. For commercial jobs, we coordinate around operating hours to keep disruption to a minimum for tenants and customers during and after the work.
New asphalt needs 24 to 48 hours to cure before regular vehicle traffic. We walk you through care instructions before we leave and stay available if any questions come up after the project is complete.
We serve all of Inglewood and respond within one business day. No obligation required to get a written estimate.
(213) 664-3054Inglewood is a compact city in southwestern Los Angeles County, sitting just east of Los Angeles International Airport and connected to the rest of the metro by the 405 Freeway along its western edge and the 105 Freeway along its southern border. The city's residential neighborhoods are largely made up of single-family bungalows and small ranch homes built between the 1930s and 1960s, giving much of Inglewood a mid-century character. Century Boulevard and Manchester Boulevard are the main commercial corridors, lined with retail, restaurants, and a mix of older and newer businesses. For more on the city's history and geography, the Inglewood, California Wikipedia article covers the city's development in detail.
The western part of Inglewood has been transformed in recent years by the development of the Hollywood Park site, which is now home to SoFi Stadium, the Kia Forum, and new retail and residential construction. This ongoing investment has raised the profile of the area and increased demand for well-maintained commercial and residential surfaces throughout the surrounding neighborhoods. Inglewood borders Hawthorne to the south and Gardena to the southeast, and our crews serve all three cities regularly, which means a crew that knows Inglewood well is never far from your property.
