A long winding asphalt driveway passes through carefully tended gardens and vineyard rows, leading to a custom residence in Sonoma County set against oak-covered hills. All Phase Paving creates and installs estate driveways and lengthy private driveways for upscale homes.

A finished commercial parking lot paving and striping job at a Wells Fargo branch displays freshly laid black asphalt, white parking-space markings, blue ADA-compliant accessible stalls, and neat curb work. All Phase Paving provides full-phase commercial paving services.

Two paving crew members shovel and distribute fresh asphalt at the rear of a commercial paver during a paving operation — the type of practical fieldwork that owner Mike Peterson performs alongside his four-person All Phase Paving crew on projects throughout Sonoma, Marin, and the North Bay.

A newly paved residential asphalt driveway edged with light paver stones leads to a two-car garage. Residential driveway paving and recurring seal coating make up a substantial portion of All Phase Paving's repeat-customer business across Sonoma and Marin counties.

SANTA ROSA, CA, UNITED STATES, August 3, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — All Phase Paving, a family-owned asphalt paving and grading contractor based in Santa Rosa, celebrates 45 years of serving the Bay Area in 2026. Owner Mike Peterson runs commercial and residential paving, grading and seal coating across Sonoma County, Marin, Solano, Contra Costa, Alameda and Stanislaus counties, with an active U.S. Coast Guard paving project currently under way in Novato.

Peterson entered the paving industry at age 12 and obtained his California contractor’s license at 18. Roughly 20 years ago, he rebranded from Mike Peterson Paving to All Phase Paving to reflect the full scope of work his team handles: excavation, grading, base rock, asphalt paving, seal coating, slurry seal, chip seal, striping, drainage and concrete — from start to finish.

“The prep is everything. If the prep work’s not right, the pavement’s not going to be right,” said Mike Peterson, owner of All Phase Paving.

On its current Coast Guard project in Novato, the crew placed 700 tons of asphalt in a single day. That federal assignment follows larger paving jobs in Vallejo and elsewhere across Northern California. Commercial work for general contractors accounts for roughly 20 percent of volume, with another 30 percent coming from repeat residential driveway customers and word-of-mouth referrals.

All Phase Paving owns its equipment outright, including two commercial paving machines valued at $300,000 and $120,000 — a significant step up from the $2,500 used paver Peterson bought at 22. With its own pavers, skid steers and rollers, the four-person team paves everything from residential driveways to commercial parking lots without incurring rental costs.

“I don’t start a job and leave. We finished the full scope of work, and then some…” Peterson said.

Peterson is on the job site from start to finish, operating the paver himself, handling grade work, preparing estimates after hours and answering the phone seven days a week. Free estimates and that hands-on approach have cultivated a loyal Bay Area customer base, with many homeowners returning every two to three years for seal coating and driveway maintenance.

The Peterson family runs several paving operations across Northern California. Mike started his son, Zack Peterson, who now owns Santa Rosa–based North Bay Grading and Paving, which marks its own 15-year milestone in 2026. Mike has also assisted three brothers in launching their own paving businesses and has donated time and equipment to local churches over the years.

All Phase Paving offers free on-site estimates and is now accepting new commercial and residential paving, grading and seal coating projects across Sonoma, Marin, Solano, Contra Costa, Alameda and Stanislaus counties.
