More than half of Sacramento's housing was built before 1980, Census figures show. In parts of East Sacramento and Curtis Park, most homes went up before 1940. Over time, street tree roots can lift driveway edges, and winter rain gets into the cracks. On flat ground over clay or hardpan, that water has few places to go.

Census tract figures show how much the age of housing changes across town. Central Land Park's median home was built in 1943. Hollywood Park and River Park are mostly homes from the 1950s. In North Natomas neighborhoods like Natomas Park and Westlake, about 8 in 10 homes went up in the 2000s.
Cracks in an older driveway can start below the surface. Roots can push up the edges, and water can soften the base under the cracks. Where the base is still sound, asphalt repair or an overlay may be enough. Where it has failed, the old surface comes out and the base gets rebuilt.
A tree in the park strip between the sidewalk and the curb is a city tree. The city's Urban Forestry office issues the permits for work that affects those trees. Cutting a city tree's roots can need one of those permits, so ask before the job is planned.
USDA soil maps put the San Joaquin series under about a third of the city. That soil sits on a cemented hardpan 20 to 40 inches down. Water moves through the hardpan very slowly, so rain can linger in the soil above it.
Other neighborhoods sit on different ground. Clear Lake clay, a basin clay that drains slowly, is the most common soil in North Natomas. Much of south Sacramento, around Meadowview, sits on Galt clay, which the USDA rates very high for shrink and swell. In parts of the Pocket, the USDA puts a water table 3 to 5 feet down from December to April.
The USDA notes that shrinking and swelling soils can damage roads and other structures. Asphalt paving on ground like this needs a firm base and a way for water to leave. The subgrade gets shaped and compacted, and base rock goes down in compacted lifts. Where water stands now, grading and drainage work comes before the asphalt.
Sacramento sits where the American River meets the Sacramento River. The city says most of Sacramento is protected by dams and levees. It also says repeat flooding in some areas comes mainly from drainage during heavy storms.
NOAA's climate normals for Sacramento show about 18 inches of rain a year, most of it from November to March. Summers stay dry, with about 14 days a year at 100 degrees or hotter. On a flat lot, the finished grade has to move winter rain to the street or a drain. Water that cannot run off collects in the low spots and works into the base.
The Natomas Basin carries a FEMA A99 flood zone, which the city still counts as high risk. Near any levee, the city says not to dig or build at its base. For building near a levee, the city points to the Central Valley Flood Protection Board's encroachment rules.
The driveway approach and the sidewalk out front sit in the public right-of-way. In the city, Public Works issues a Driveway Permit for a new driveway or a widened one. A Driveway Variance covers a driveway that cannot strictly meet code. Other minor right-of-way work, such as sidewalk reconstruction, needs a Construction Encroachment Permit.
Sacramento also bars most excavation in newly paved or resurfaced streets for up to five years. In a preservation or design review district, driveway work can need city review as well. Outside city limits, Sacramento County requires an encroachment permit for driveway work in its right-of-way. We point you to the right office before the work is set.
Parking lots carry their own city rules. With a few exceptions, Sacramento's code calls for trees that shade at least half of a parking lot. Ask the city how that applies before a lot is rebuilt or expanded. We plan commercial paving in phases so a business or church can stay open.
