Of all the projects on my home and land i have upgraded, getting grading and paving from Valley Paving was the best. It is the difference between night and day how acessable and pleasant my driveway has become after this company came through with their awesome machinery to revitalize my driveway. Before I had upgraded this, I was spending a couple 100+ hours per year shoveling out by hand all my gutters and culverts and filling in low spots and scraping out high spots in the road. It was backbreaking to say the least and I'm a young strong guy mostly. Anyhow they sloped my driveway so that water flows in the correct way to minimize water erosion and packed everything solid along this 1/2 mile stretch. The price was very reasonable. I used to have have guests get stuck in my ditches it was so bad here, now there aren't any. I am grateful every single day that I step out onto my nice blacktop. Excellent highly recommended!!! read more

Valley Paving was amazing from start to finish! They removed my old driveway, put in a new water line, attached all my drainage, put in a new channel drain and built a new retaining wall! They contracted Reber Construction to pour my concrete and it turned out awesome! Highly recommend Valley Paving! read more

I'm an officer for a private road association and we are collectively responsible for the maintenance of our 3/4 mile long road. We regularly use Valley Paving and are 100% satisfied with their professionalism and high quality work. I just finished doing another walk-through of our road with Paul, and he was able to give us great insights and advice regarding what needs to be done to keep it safe and solid. Very telling is that all the larger repairs done for us by Valley over two years ago are 100% solid and undamaged. The work they do holds up, they give us solid advice (and great pricing) on the work needed to maintain our road. Communications from the office have been consistent and courteous, and they show up on time and do great work. Valley Paving will continue to be our go-to for our road association. Thanks to their quality work, we have a private road that is much nicer than most of the nearby county-maintained messes. Their work holds up and has lasted several years longer than estimates, saving us all money and concern. These guys are awesome. 70+ homes on our private redwood-lined road are well served by their quality work. read more

Just got our drive way done, those guys did an amazing job! They are fast and efficient, and communicated things clearly and offered good advice too! Sometimes they are probably not the fastest at returning calls, but hey I called my dentist office a week ago (where there are several full time receptionists) and still waiting to hear back. My point is if they don't call back, wait and call again :) We are in love with our new driveway (I feel like I am driving on the cloud) Would definitely use them again! read more

They fixed damage done to a shared driveway and resealed our driveway, fixed cracks and potholes. I feel the price was more than fair, plus they fixed a couple of potholes in our neighbors driveway without an extra charge. They were professional and the work quality was excellent. We've recommended them to a couple of friends and have received compliments from people who saw their work. We will definitely use them in the future. read more

Don't bother calling Valley Paving. They don't answer the phone or return calls. Message saying they are "experiencing a large volume of calls" and will get back as soon as possible....... I'm still waiting. Used them in the past but I'll be trying elsewhere now. read more

Another on the list of people who drive like idiots with THEIR business names on the- side of their trucks! White truck went from 30 to 40 as he saw I was pulling out. He didn't need to slow down, deff didn't need to speed up. He then tailgated me the length of cabrillo and almost rear ended me when I turned with my signal on! Who hires these tweekers? Valley paving does! read more

Horrible! This company is incredibly unprofessional. They embody the stereotypical construction company with no customer service and no organization skills. They know their trade but have zero business skills. They gave us a contract for work, and verbally told us that the price was higher than we'd probably have to pay because they'd be using less material than they'd bid for. They told my husband they would deduct material from our final billing; I guessed they wouldn't since we already signed a contract for the price, but there is always hopeful thinking. They ended up billing over the price of the contract, saying they used more material than they had bid and we'd signed a contract on. My husband and I are construction professionals and are understanding to estimates and contract prices that are off. We are familiar with contractors asking for a change because they did not bid enough, Valley Paving did not ask for a change, they just tried to increase the bill. They ended up honoring their price. Their bill finally came in as it was contracted, and they began calling and emailing about when it would be paid. Most companies give you a minimum of 30 days before they start collections, I paid the $14k with in a week of getting their bill. My first call to them was the day I received the bill and it was not answered the message machine said no one would be in office for a week, I left a message requesting a lien release and told them I had a credit card ready for them. They didn't seem to understand what a pre-lien was and became offended that we would request the paperwork be done to protect us. Leaving messages on both my husband and my phone saying 'they trusted us'; unsure what this meant since they had a contract with us and a pre-lien on our property. It was just standard business in my eyes, neither party having any need to 'trust' each other because we could each 'trust' the contract and our legal protections by law. They are not COD and their contract clearly states 30-day net. After all this, they ended up calling again because they had not added base rock material charges to our contract or bill. We told them have the supplier bill us directly. We made no arguments to the additional $2k, we had known there was a base rock charge, but it was not supposed to be through Valley Paving, it was supposed to be through Granite Rock. They took 5 days before they sent this bill, when they did I called Granite to pay but found they required payment via check. I sent the check out the next day. In the meantime Valley Paving, wrote me three more letters, asking me the status. I finally told them to stop contacting me as I didn't deserve the harassment. Stacie in the office wrote four more letters after that, continuing to drive home that her method of harassment is nothing she'd apologize or stop doing, she then called her family member who works at Granite and had her call me. When the woman at Granite realized they had no rights to the bill they were harassing me for and it'd already been paid she hung up on me. I didn't get her name, but I'd guess if Granite knew she'd made that call she'd no longer be working for them. read more

I was given a recommendation a while back on NextDoor to use Valley Paving & Tractor Services from Scotts Valley for a driveway slurry at my home. The owner's name is Paul. I called Paul about three weeks ago to let him know that I had a time-critical job at my home, and if he could go check out my driveway and send me his quote. He said he would go out there in the next couple of days. After about a week, I called his office phone and left a message for an update on the quote? I never got a call back. Another week passed by and I left another phone message. Again, no reply. Next, I tried his cell phone that was given out in his VM greeting. And, again, no reply (NOTE: this all took place before the Coronavirus began to impact anyone here). Last Sunday, I called his office phone and told him that I had serious concerns about his communications and ability to meet his commitments and that I felt that the community should be made aware of how he engaged (or didn't engage) with his customers. Finally, today, Wednesday (Mar-18) about 5 minutes ago, a full three weeks from the time I first spoke to Paul about the quote, he called me directly. Paul told me he was out sick for five days, then had to "go to a car show." I asked him why he never called me back. This sent him into an absolute rage. He used the "F" word twice, in one case stating that "I don't need your f**king business." I was literally in shock and felt intimidated by his aggression and his foul language. I hadn't posted ANY reviews on social media at the time of his call, and was considering foregoing it and moving on, until I received this call. My only advice to anyone who plans to use Paul's services is to STAY ON HIS GOOD SIDE. He's course, will scream at you and will insult you with profanity if you question his business practices. The ordeal was absolutely frightening. Use at your own risk. read more

Completely agree with people saying they are very unprofessional. Sent two emails requesting a quote. No response whatsoever!

Paul at Valley Paving & Tractor Service must be sensitive to your evaluations, because he more than kept his word on our meeting time. He called the day before and scheduled to be at our home between 11 am and noon, closer to 11. On the day of the appointment, he called about 10:50 and said that he was on his way. At almost 11 am exactly, he was at our door and ready to measure the site and listen to our desires for the project. Listening to our plans for other improvements to our home, Paul gave us recommendations for contractors he would trust for those jobs. Rather than give us a bid for our driveway job, Paul called us and recommended another contractor who could provide our particular requirements at a lower cost and still be exactly what we were looking for. We recommend Paul and Valley Paving for their professionalism, and their honest concern for the client. read more

I called Valley Paving and Tractor Service and made an appointment for a Friday afternoon at 4:30. Since I work 40 miles away, i let them know how difficult it was going to be to make the appointment but that i really need the work done so i rushed home from work. I arrived at my home at 4pm and expected their employee to arrive at the agreed upon time of 4:30. 5pm rolled around and still no representative at which time i called their office and was redirected to there boss' cell phone. here was his response. "Oh um, yea, 4:30, i forgot, can i come tomorrow." I insisted he still make his appointment around 6pm or 6:30pm and that i would wait around since his next appointment was a couple miles away. The agreed upon time was the only oppening in my schedule since I work 7 days a week. He said he would try to make it. No call back and no respectable work or customer service ethics. Highly disappointing! read more

Paul and his crew at Valley Paving did a fantastic job on my driveway. I had two new sections added to my existing driveway - along with an overlay of my original paving. I live in the Santa Cruz Mountains - and this was a big, tricky job, lots of grading involved, etc. Their attention to detail was really off the charts. Not to mention - their bid was competitive, and they started and finished on time. I highly recommend them. read more

Paul and his crew just repaved our driveway. Beautiful job! Started and finished on schedule. The crew was very skillful and speedy. They used some large equipment. A large clay area was found under the old driveway, which had caused it to fail. Valley Paving removed it, and there was a 7% extra charge for more base rock. Other than that, they stuck to their estimate from almost a year ago. My first impression of Paul was that he was honest, and would do a good job. That proved to be true. read more

Valley Paving rebuilt my driveway originally paved in 1939. They removed the failed asphalt and excavated 8" of native soil so they could place 6" of compacted engineered fill and 2" of hot mix asphalt. They installed pvc sleeves under the asphalt to accommodate existing and future utilities, regraded the drainage, and installed a new catch basin and drain pipe. On time and on budget. Well worth every penny. read more

Had recommendation from our golf club manager. Made a 4pm appointment on a Friday two weeks ago for an estimate. At 4:30 I called again and left a message to see if anyone was on their way. No one ever came nor in the subsequent two weeks did anyone call us back. I felt disappointed because of the high marks their work got. Perhaps they already have too much work. read more

easy to work with, reliable. Will be there on time, work completed on time, on schedule, on budget.

Valley Paving was recently hired by an adjacent property owner to re-surface part of a commercial parking lot and seal the rest of the lot. No effort was made at dust control and at times there were dense clouds of dust drifting over buildings, sidewalks, and a busy road. None of the cars in our lot were spared. I asked the workers about this and I was told to call the office. Nobody staffs the office apparently and the dust continued. Later I found that buckets of loose gravel had been left behind on our property. The owner who hired Valley Paving also complained of the service and lack of response to his calls. read more
