A parking lot carries far more than a driveway. Customer cars, delivery trucks, highway travelers pulling trailers, and the occasional semi all use the same pavement, and they turn, brake, and park in ways that grind the surface. In Myton, where US-40 and US-191 run right through town, a business lot often sees a little of everything.
Our parking lot paving starts with layout and drainage, then moves to excavation, base rock, and hot mix laid in the thickness each area needs. Truck lanes and entrances get more strength. Customer stalls get a smooth, even finish. Because our crews travel out to Myton, we plan the work well in advance and can phase it so your business keeps operating and customers always have a clear way in.
We understand how highway traffic, local soils, and cold Myton winters wear on commercial pavement and plan the lot around that.
We bring graders, excavators, pavers, and heavy rollers to handle full parking lot paving from dirt to finished surface.
If part of your existing lot can be saved with repair or resurfacing, we'll show you before quoting new paving.
We keep work zones fenced and signed, clean up at the end of each day, and haul away all spoils and waste.
Myton started out as a busy trading post and frontier gateway, with hotels, a bank, a flour mill, and a newspaper serving travelers and farmers. Today the town is smaller, but US-40 and US-191 still bring steady through traffic, and the businesses that serve it need lots that are easy to pull into and hold up to heavy vehicles.
A good parking lot paving plan starts with how people arrive. Where do trucks enter? Where do cars park first? Is there room for a pickup with a trailer to turn around? We sketch the flow before we ever talk about thickness, because a well laid out lot wears more evenly and stays safer. A lot that forces trucks to back up or make tight three point turns will show ruts and scuffs in those spots within a couple of seasons. Wider aisles near the entrance and a clear exit path back to the highway make a big difference for drivers who aren’t familiar with your property.
Not every part of a lot carries the same load. Entrances, fuel or delivery areas, and dumpster pads take the heaviest abuse, while back corners might only see a few cars. We size the base rock and asphalt section by zone, so the high stress areas get the strength they need and you’re not paying for extra depth where it isn’t useful.
Before any base goes down, the site gets shaped and compacted. If the ground needs significant cutting or filling, our grading crew in Myton handles that first so the lot has the right slope from the subgrade up.
Large paved areas collect a lot of runoff, even in dry country. Snowmelt and summer storms can sheet across a lot and pond in low spots, and standing water is the fastest way to ruin asphalt. Our drainage planning covers:
Getting this right during paving is far cheaper than adding drainage after the lot is built. Snow storage deserves its own thought, too. Plowed piles melt slowly in spring, and if they sit at the high side of the lot, that meltwater runs across the whole surface and refreezes overnight. Placing storage at the low edge keeps the melt moving off the pavement instead of across it.
Commercial sites often have buried power, gas, water, and communication lines. We call Utah Blue Stakes at least 3 business days before any excavation and plan the dig within the 21 day life of the ticket. Since the request can’t go in more than 14 calendar days ahead, we time it to match the scheduled Myton trip.
Frost reaches about 30 inches deep in Duchesne County, so any culverts or drain pipes under the new lot need enough cover and a solid bed to stay put through winter.
Closing a lot for a week can hurt a small business. We can pave in sections, keeping one entrance and part of the parking open while we work on the rest. We’ll walk through the phasing with you before work starts and post clear signs so customers know where to go.
Once the asphalt cools and cures, adding parking lot striping lays out stalls, accessible spaces, and traffic arrows so the new lot works the way it was planned.
New asphalt is at its most vulnerable in the first months. Keep heavy trucks from making tight turns in one spot, and watch for fuel or oil leaks where vehicles sit for long periods.
After the surface cures, parking lot sealcoating adds a layer against sun and spills, and regular crack sealing keeps water out of the base for years.
We walk the site, map traffic flow, check drainage, and talk about the trucks and customers using your parking lot.
You get a written parking lot paving quote with layout, base and asphalt depths, phasing plan, and the planned Myton dates.
We grade, build the base, and pave in sections so customers can still reach your doors during the work.
We walk the finished lot with you, confirm drainage and tie-ins, and go over cure time before full traffic returns.
