Concrete Work That Ties Cleanly Into Asphalt — Built by a 15-Year Industry Veteran
Drawing on more than 15 years of hands-on industry experience, Blacktop Paving LLC delivers commercial concrete services that integrate seamlessly with asphalt pavement across the Ogden, UT area. Sidewalks, curb and gutter, dumpster pads, catch basins, entrance aprons, ADA ramps, and patios — these concrete features all need to be installed correctly the first time, with attention to elevation, slope, finish, and the transitions where concrete meets asphalt. Owner Brian Blackner has spent his career on construction sites where asphalt and concrete have to work together, and that experience is exactly what produces concrete work that doesn’t crack, settle, or fail at the asphalt joint.
For commercial property owners, general contractors, and property managers across Logan, Layton, Brigham City, and the broader Northern Utah region, having one contractor handle both the asphalt and the concrete eliminates the coordination problems that plague projects with separate trades. We can sequence the work properly, hit the elevations both sides of the joint require, and stand behind the entire installation with a single warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does new concrete take to cure before traffic?
Pedestrian traffic is typically possible within 24-48 hours, though sidewalks ideally remain protected longer. Vehicle traffic generally requires 7 days minimum for cars and light trucks, with full design strength reached at about 28 days. Heavy vehicle areas like dumpster pads sometimes need extended cure protection.
What thickness should commercial sidewalks be?
Standard pedestrian sidewalks are typically 4 inches thick with reinforcement. Sidewalks crossed by occasional vehicle traffic — driveways, service routes — typically increase to 6 inches with proper reinforcement. We confirm thickness based on actual use during the project planning phase.
What's required for ADA-compliant ramps?
ADA ramps have specific maximum slope (1:12 running slope), minimum width, level landings at top and bottom, and detectable warning surfaces (truncated domes) at transitions. Cross slope is also limited. We handle all these requirements as part of standard ramp installation.
Can concrete be poured year-round in Northern Utah?
Concrete can be poured in cool weather with appropriate cold-weather provisions (heating, blankets, accelerators), but extreme cold limits practical scheduling. Most commercial concrete in our climate is placed between mid-spring and mid-fall when conditions support reliable cure without special measures.
