About Us
Bay Area Grading and Paving has been the Bay Area's go-to asphalt contractor for over three decades. Founded and personally led by owner Shawn Peterson, we've built our reputation one perfectly paved driveway, parking lot, and private road at a time.
From residential driveways in Napa Valley to 5,000+ sq ft community roads in Mill Valley, to full commercial parking lots — we bring the same care, expertise, and competitive pricing to every job, no matter the size.
Our Work
Every job — big or small — gets the same level of craftsmanship. Here's a look at some of our recent work across Northern California.






What Clients Say
Don't just take our word for it — here's what Northern California homeowners and businesses say about working with us.
"I seriously wish I could give this company 10 stars. Shawn and his team did a phenomenal job on our driveway. His pricing was very reasonable and competitive — 2 of my neighbors hired him on the spot to do their driveways the same day!"
"Shawn Peterson, the owner, was great to work with and his crew did an excellent job on 3 different sections of Non-County Maintained roads in Mill Valley — nearly 5,000 sq ft. He even did extra spots just to make the job look professional."
"Bay Area Paving did a great job replacing our close to 100-year-old driveway in Napa Valley. The crew did top quality work, were fast and efficient. The drainage swales they installed will handle winter runoff for years. I think we're good for another 50 years!"
"I've been dealing with Shawn and his company for the past 17 years on all my projects and he never fails to satisfy me and my customers. Highly recommended — 10 out of 10!"
"Our neighborhood of 10 property owners share a 620-foot private road. Bay Area came in with a full crew, completely removed the old asphalt, put down compacted base rock then a generous layer of new asphalt. Beautiful work, left the area clean. We would give them 10 stars."
"I've used Shawn on a dozen or so paving jobs over the last couple of decades and have never had a problem. His paving looks good and holds up for many years. His prices are a lot lower than the competition but his work is just as good or better."
