Asphalt Installed Right From the Start — New Construction Paving Across Northern Utah

Blacktop Paving LLC provides new construction paving services for general contractors, developers, and property owners throughout the Ogden, UT area. From the first lift of base material to the final pass of the roller, we install commercial pavement designed to perform for the lifecycle of your building or development. New construction is the one chance to get the foundation right — and we treat every project that way.

When a parking lot, drive aisle, or access road is part of a new build in Logan, Brigham City, Layton, or anywhere across Northern Utah, the asphalt has to be coordinated with site grading, utility work, drainage, and final landscaping. Our crews work seamlessly into the project schedule and deliver paving that won’t be the weak link in the building’s first 20 years.

Benefits of Professional New Construction Paving

  • Built for the Building’s Life Cycle — Properly engineered new pavement matches the expected traffic and loading for the property’s intended use
  • One-Shot Quality — New construction is the easiest time to install pavement correctly; we take advantage of that opportunity
  • Lower Future Maintenance Costs — Pavement installed right requires fewer repairs and a longer interval before resurfacing
  • Coordination With Other Trades — We work into the schedule alongside concrete, utility, and landscape crews without holding up the project
  • Cleaner Drainage Function — Engineered grades during new construction prevent the puddling and base failures that haunt poorly built sites for decades

Our New Construction Paving Process

  • Plan Review and Coordination — We review site plans, grading specifications, and project schedules with the GC before mobilization
  • Subgrade and Base Verification — Before we lay a single ton of asphalt, we confirm subgrade compaction and aggregate base meet the specified depths
  • Hot-Mix Asphalt Installation — We install asphalt at correct temperature, in proper lifts, to the engineered thickness for the property’s intended use
  • Roller Compaction — Our rolling pattern delivers required density across the full surface, including edges and joints
  • Final Quality Check — Surface, slopes, and transitions are reviewed with the project supervisor or owner before sign-off

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the GC need to have ready before paving starts?

Subgrade should be compacted to specification, aggregate base should be in place at proper depth, and final grades should be stable. Curbs, catch basins, and any in-pavement utilities should be set. We can walk the site with you to confirm readiness before scheduling.

How is paving coordinated with concrete work on new builds?

Concrete work like curbs, sidewalks, and dumpster pads typically goes in before final asphalt so we can tie pavement to the finished concrete edges cleanly. We coordinate timing with the concrete crew so neither trade slows the other down.

What thickness do you typically install for new commercial sites?

Most new commercial parking areas use 3 inches of asphalt over a 4-6 inch compacted aggregate base. Drive aisles, loading docks, and dumpster approach areas often need thicker sections — usually called out on the engineered site plan.

Can new asphalt be striped immediately?

We typically wait at least 7-14 days after paving before striping so the surface is dry, set, and ready to hold paint. This timing varies a bit with weather and is something we’ll plan with you.
