San Diego construction specifications are dictated by two local realities most national vendors ignore. First, climate: Coastal Mediterranean with salt air, mild freeze-thaw, and summer UV. Second, subgrade: Expansive soils and Bay Point formation on mesas — subgrade testing drives design. Full-depth construction requires 55°F+ ambient for asphalt mat placement. Typical performance in San Diego: 20-25 years with proper subbase and sealcoat maintenance. Wins Parking writes these conditions into the scope before a single crew mobilizes, which is why San Diego assets we touch outlast lots built to generic out-of-region specs.
