Signs get ignored. A properly installed asphalt speed bump forces drivers to slow down - every time, without anyone watching. We build bumps that hold their shape through Lathrop summers and last for years.
Speed bump installation in Lathrop is a straightforward asphalt job - a crew shapes and compacts hot-mix asphalt into a raised mound, adds high-visibility striping, and most single-bump installations are done within a few hours. The bump is ready for vehicles to cross the same day once the asphalt has cooled.
Lathrop's summers regularly push past 100 degrees, which means the mix matters. A bump built with the wrong asphalt will deform under repeated tire impact in triple-digit heat and lose its shape and effectiveness by August. We use a heat-stable mix designed for Central Valley conditions. If the surface your bump will sit on has existing cracks or base issues, pairing the installation with asphalt sealcoating or surface prep gives the bump a stable foundation that holds long-term.
Whether you are a homeowner, a landlord, or a property manager, the process starts the same way - call us, describe your situation, and we will visit the site before quoting. HOA approvals and permit questions are ones we can walk you through before any work begins.
If cars regularly speed through your driveway, parking area, or private road, a speed bump is the most direct fix. You have probably already asked drivers to slow down and it has not worked - a physical bump removes the choice from the driver entirely.
If kids play near a driveway or parking area, or if pets are often outside in a space where cars also travel, the stakes of a fast-moving vehicle are high. A speed bump creates a reliable, automatic slowdown that does not depend on anyone paying attention at the right moment.
Landlords and property managers in Lathrop's growing rental market install speed bumps to reduce pavement wear, limit liability, and keep tenants and visitors safer. A single bump changes the behavior of everyone who uses the space, not just the people you can speak to directly.
Long, straight driveways invite acceleration. If your property has a run of pavement that gives drivers room to pick up speed before reaching a garage, a gate, or a pedestrian area, a bump placed at the right point interrupts that pattern - common in Lathrop's newer large-lot developments.
We install asphalt speed bumps for residential driveways, private roads, commercial parking lots, and rental properties across Lathrop and the surrounding area. Every bump is shaped, placed, and compacted using hot-mix asphalt and finished with high-visibility yellow or white striping. For customers who are also updating their parking areas, parking lot paving can be coordinated at the same visit to minimize mobilization costs.
If the existing pavement is in poor condition, we will tell you honestly before quoting the bump installation - a bump bonded to a failing surface will not last. In those cases, we recommend addressing the base first, which may involve surface repairs, crack sealing, or a light mill-and-overlay. We also discuss placement and taper for any bump near a pedestrian path so the finished product does not create a new tripping hazard while solving the speeding problem.
Suited to homeowners who want to slow down visitors or discourage through-traffic on longer private driveways.
For property managers and business owners who need to control vehicle speed across larger paved areas with regular foot traffic.
Adding two or three bumps at a single visit is significantly more cost-effective per bump than separate trips - ideal for long driveways or shared roads with multiple problem points.
For bumps that have deformed, cracked, or separated from the surrounding pavement - we remove and replace rather than patch over a failed installation.
Lathrop's extreme summer heat is the defining factor for any asphalt work here. Temperatures regularly exceed 100 degrees in July and August, and a speed bump takes concentrated tire impact day after day in those conditions. A bump installed with a standard mix can deform or rut by midsummer, losing its shape and its effectiveness. Contractors who work regularly in the northern San Joaquin Valley know to specify a heat-stable mix - that local experience is a credential you should ask about before hiring anyone for this work. Homeowners in nearby Tracy and Manteca face the same heat conditions, and we bring the same climate-aware approach to every job across our service area.
Lathrop has also grown rapidly, with many newer subdivisions governed by HOAs and private roads that sit close to city-managed collector streets. Whether you need a bump on a purely private driveway or on a shared road within an HOA community, the approval path is different, and skipping it can result in a removal demand. We identify the right process for your address before any work starts. The National Asphalt Pavement Association sets the industry standards for hot-mix asphalt installation that we follow on every project.
Tell us where the bump is going, what surface it will sit on, and roughly how many bumps you need. We respond within one business day and schedule a site visit before providing any quote.
We visit the site, assess the existing pavement condition, and give you a written estimate. At this stage we also identify whether a permit, HOA approval, or right-of-way authorization is needed so nothing surprises you later.
Once you approve the quote and any required permissions are in hand, we schedule the job. Late spring through early fall is ideal in Lathrop - warm, dry conditions help the asphalt bond and cure properly.
The crew prepares the surface, applies a bonding material, then shapes, places, and compacts the bump. Striping is applied before the crew leaves. We walk the finished bump with you to confirm the edges and transitions are right before we go.
We will visit your Lathrop property, assess the surface, and give you a clear written estimate with no pressure. We also walk you through any HOA or permit questions upfront.
(209) 308-1783We use asphalt mixes suited to northern San Joaquin Valley temperatures - not generic mixes that soften and deform under triple-digit heat. A bump that loses its shape by August is a bump that has already failed. Our installations are designed to hold their profile through the season.
Lathrop has a mix of HOA-governed communities and properties adjacent to city-managed roads. We identify the right approval path for your address before work starts - not after. That protects you from costly removals and keeps your project on schedule.
We visit every site before providing a written estimate because the condition of the existing pavement, the location relative to any road or property line, and equipment access all affect price and approach. You will never get a phone quote from us for work we have not seen.
Every installation includes high-visibility striping and a walkthrough with the property owner before the crew leaves. If the edges or transitions are not right, we fix it on the spot. We have been operating in this area since 2017 and our reputation depends on jobs that look and perform correctly.
From a single residential bump to a multi-bump installation across a commercial parking area, we bring the same attention to mix quality, surface prep, and finished detail to every project. Call us or submit a form and we will schedule a site visit at a time that works for you. Verify our state contractor license at cslb.ca.gov before signing with any asphalt contractor.
Protect and extend the life of your Lathrop driveway or parking lot with a fresh sealcoat before or after bump installation.
