Welcome to Old Torrance
Old Torrance has that classic neighborhood feel you don’t find everywhere anymore. Tree lined streets. Older homes with character. The kind of place where people actually know their neighbors. It’s tucked right in the heart of Torrance, close to everything but still feels like its own little world.
You’ve got Torrance Park nearby where families gather on weekends. Old Torrance Elementary keeps the area lively during school hours. And downtown Torrance is just minutes away with all those shops and restaurants on Sartori Avenue. People love living here because it’s quiet without being too far from anything.
But here’s the thing about older neighborhoods. The driveways show their age. Streets get worn down from years of use. That beautiful home you’re restoring probably needs a fresh asphalt driveway to match the work you’re putting into it. Maybe your parking area has seen better days. Or you’re dealing with cracked pavement that’s just getting worse every winter.
That’s where we come in. Bay Cities Paving has been helping Old Torrance property ownerswith all their asphalt needs for years. We know these streets. We know what works here.

About Bay Cities Paving
We’re Bay Cities Paving, and we’ve been doing asphalt work throughout Torrance and the South Bay for over 30 years. Started as a family business and still running that way today.
Sure, asphalt paving is what we’re known for. But we do more than just lay down blacktop. Need demolition work before the new driveway goes in? We handle that. Full construction projects? We’ve got crews for it. Excavating to prep the ground properly? That’s part of what we do. Even junk removal when you’re clearing out space for a new project.
The way we see it, when you’re working on a property in Old Torrance, you shouldn’t need five different companies. We bring everything under one roof. Makes life easier for everyone.
Our crews show up when we say we will. They work clean. And they know what they’re doing because most of them have been with us for years. Not some different team every time. You can find us serving Old Torrance and the entire South Bay areawith the same reliable service we’ve always provided.
Experience That Matters in Your Neighborhood
We’ve paved driveways all over Old Torrance. The narrow ones where you’re inches from your neighbor’s property line. The sloped ones that require extra attention to drainage. Those tricky corner lots where delivery trucks and garbage trucks make tight turns every week.
One customer on Beech Avenue told us her old driveway had cracks so bad she was embarrassed when guests came over. We tore out the damaged asphalt, fixed the base underneath, and gave her a smooth new surface. She said it felt like her house got a facelift.
Another property owner near Arlington Avenue needed his commercial parking lot completely redone. Twenty spots. Had to stay open for business while we worked. We did it in sections so his customers always had somewhere to park. Finished ahead of schedule too.
That’s the kind of work we do around here. Real projects for real people who need things done right.
Our team knows the codes. We’re licensed and insured, which honestly should be a given but you’d be surprised how many contractors aren’t. Safety comes first on every job site. We protect your property, our workers, and your neighbors while we work.
Where We Work in Old Torrance
We cover all of Old Torrance and the surrounding areas in Lomita and greater Torrance. If you’re near Carson Street, we’re there. Over by Cabrillo Avenue? We work that area all the time. Close to Torrance Park or anywhere in the older residential sections? That’s our specialty.
The nice thing about being local is we already know how to get around. We know which streets get congested when school lets out. We understand that parking is tight on some blocks. And we’ve worked enough jobs near the downtown area to know the flow of traffic throughout the day.
When you call us about a project on your street, chances are we’ve already done work within a few blocks. We’re not trying to figure out your neighborhood for the first time. We’re familiar.
Local Tips You Should Know
Here’s something people don’t always think about when planning asphalt work in Old Torrance. Street parking fills up fast, especially on weekdays. Our trucks need access, so we usually recommend giving neighbors a heads up. Most folks are cool about it if they know ahead of time.
Also, some of these older properties have narrow side yards or driveways close to houses. It matters for equipment access. We walk every site first and plan accordingly. Sometimes we bring smaller equipment. Sometimes we work in stages. Whatever makes sense for your specific layout.
When you’re planning any major property improvement, it helps to think through the details ahead of time. Just like homeowners consider multiple factors before tackling repairs, asphalt projects benefit from proper planning too.
Timing can be important too. If you’re on a busy street, early morning work might be easier before traffic picks up. If you’re in a quieter residential pocket, we have more flexibility. We try to be considerate because we’d want the same if someone was working on our block.
And one more thing about this area. The soil and weather conditions affect how asphalt holds up over time. We prep the ground properly from the start so you’re not dealing with settling or cracking in a couple years. Little things like proper drainage and base compaction make a huge difference.
Why Old Torrance Trusts Us

People appreciate that we guarantee our work. If something’s not right, we make it right. Simple as that.
Our crews are trained properly. They show up in marked trucks, not random vehicles. They introduce themselves. They explain what they’re doing. And they clean up when they’re finished. These shouldn’t be special things, but apparently they are because we hear about it in our reviews all the time.
