Northern Utah’s Trusted Source for Asphalt Paving That Lasts

For more than 15 years, owner Brian Blackner has been laying asphalt across Northern Utah — and since founding Blacktop Paving LLC in 2019, he’s brought that experience to every commercial and residential paving project in the Ogden, UT area. Our crews understand what it takes to install asphalt that holds up under Utah’s freeze-thaw cycles, heavy summer sun, and constant traffic loads.

We take the time to evaluate each site, recommend the right asphalt thickness for the actual use, and install pavement that’s built to last. Whether you’re paving a commercial parking lot in Ogden, a private road in Logan, or a residential driveway in Layton, we approach the work with the same standard: get it right the first time, every time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How thick should asphalt be for a commercial parking lot?

Most commercial parking lots in Northern Utah need 3 inches of asphalt over a 4-6 inch compacted aggregate base, depending on expected traffic. Heavy truck routes and dumpster approach areas typically need thicker asphalt sections to prevent rutting.

How long does new asphalt take to cure?

Asphalt is hard enough to drive on within 24-48 hours, but full curing takes about 30 days. We recommend waiting at least 6-12 months before sealcoating new pavement so the binders have time to set properly.

Can asphalt be paved year-round in Northern Utah?

Asphalt paving requires consistent ground temperatures above 50°F for proper compaction. In the Ogden area, our paving season generally runs from late spring through early fall, with cooler-weather work scheduled carefully when conditions allow.

How much does asphalt paving cost?

Cost depends on square footage, asphalt thickness, base condition, and site access. We provide free, on-site estimates so property owners can compare options accurately rather than guessing from rough averages.
