Trusted Sealcoating That Actually Protects Pavement Across Northern Utah
Property owners in the Ogden, UT area have plenty of options for sealcoating, but trust is what separates a sealcoating job that protects pavement from one that’s barely visible after the first hard winter. Blacktop Paving LLC has built a reputation across Logan, Layton, Brigham City, and the surrounding region for sealcoating that does what it’s supposed to do: shield asphalt from UV damage, water infiltration, fuel spills, and oxidation. The work is straightforward, but the difference between a sealcoating job that lasts 3-4 years and one that doesn’t make it through a single freeze-thaw cycle comes down to material quality, surface preparation, application rate, and weather discipline — none of which we cut corners on.
Founded in 2019 by Brian Blackner — drawing on more than 15 years of asphalt experience — Blacktop Paving LLC treats sealcoating with the same standard we apply to every paving project: do the job right the first time. Our customers come back because the sealcoat we apply this year is still doing its job when most of our competitors’ sealcoat has already worn through.
Benefits of Professional Sealcoating
- UV Protection — Sealcoating shields asphalt binders from sun damage that causes oxidation and surface failure
- Water Barrier — A sound sealcoat keeps water out of the pavement and base, preventing freeze-thaw damage
- Fuel and Oil Resistance — Quality sealcoat resists petroleum spills that would otherwise dissolve the asphalt binder
- Restored Appearance — Fresh sealcoat returns the rich black look that signals a well-managed property
- Slower Pavement Aging — Properly sealcoated pavement can perform 5-10 years longer than untreated asphalt
- Improved Striping Visibility — Fresh white and yellow striping pops against fresh black sealcoat
Our Sealcoating Process
- Surface Preparation — The pavement is cleaned of dirt, debris, and oil spots that would prevent proper bond
- Crack Treatment — Cracks are filled or sealed before sealcoat is applied; sealcoat alone doesn’t bridge cracks
- Oil Spot Treatment — Oil and fuel spots get a primer treatment so sealcoat will adhere over them
- Sealcoat Application — Quality sealcoat material is applied at proper rate, typically in two coats for full coverage
- Cure Time — The sealcoated lot is closed to traffic for 24-48 hours depending on weather conditions
- Restriping — Once cured, the lot is striped with fresh paint before being returned to service

Frequently Asked Questions
How long after new pavement should sealcoating happen?
New asphalt should typically cure for 6-12 months before its first sealcoat. The asphalt binders need time to set, and applying sealcoat too early can interfere with that curing process. We help property owners plan first sealcoats around proper timing.
How often does sealcoating need to be reapplied?
Most commercial properties in Northern Utah benefit from sealcoating every 2-4 years depending on traffic, sun exposure, and snow plowing. Heavy traffic lots may need it more often; lightly used lots can sometimes go longer. We assess each lot individually rather than recommending a one-size schedule.
What weather conditions are required for sealcoating?
Sealcoat needs warm, dry conditions for proper application and cure — generally above 55°F with no rain in the forecast for 24 hours. In Northern Utah, this typically limits sealcoating to late spring through early fall. We schedule weather-dependent work carefully.
Does sealcoat fix existing problems like cracks and potholes?
No — sealcoat is a protective coating, not a repair material. Cracks need filling or sealing first, and potholes need patching before sealcoat goes down. We always include necessary prep repairs in sealcoating projects so the protective coating actually performs.
