Plenty of pavement around Randlett looks rough on top but is still solid underneath. The color has faded, cracks run across it, and the surface has gotten coarse, yet the ground below has not sunk or broken up. In that situation, tearing everything out is usually more work and expense than you need.
Asphalt resurfacing, often called an overlay, adds a fresh layer of hot mix over the existing pavement once the problem areas are fixed. We check the base first, patch anything that has failed, adjust edges and transitions, and apply a tack coat so the new layer bonds to the old one. The result is a smooth, dark surface on a foundation that has already proven itself. We set up your job as a planned trip during the paving season.
We have seen how pavement ages across the Uinta Basin, so we can tell a surface problem from a base problem quickly.
Our crew brings a paver, rollers, a tack sprayer, and patching tools so repairs and resurfacing happen on one trip.
If your pavement is too far gone for an overlay, or does not need one yet, we will tell you plainly.
We clean up millings and debris, keep trucks off your lawn and fields, and leave edges neat when we wrap up.
An overlay makes sense when the trouble is mostly on the surface. Faded, dry asphalt, scattered cracks, and a coarse texture all fit that picture. It does not make sense when the base itself has failed, which shows up as sinking areas, wide webbed cracking, or spots that flex when a truck rolls over them.
Somewhere in between is the most common case: pavement that is mostly sound with a few bad patches. For that, we fix the failures first with targeted asphalt repair and then resurface the whole area so it wears as one piece.
The new layer will only be as stable as what it sits on. We walk the surface, probe soft spots, and look closely at areas where water has been standing. Places that move under load get cut out and rebuilt with compacted rock before any overlay goes down.
We also look at drainage. If water has been running across the pavement or pooling along one edge, an overlay is a good moment to change the slope slightly so runoff heads where you want it. Small grade changes are much easier while the surface is being rebuilt anyway. We also check where the pavement meets garage slabs and walks, since the new layer will raise the surface a little and those spots need a smooth transition.
Sometimes the honest answer is that an overlay would be wasted money. If more than a modest share of the surface has base failure, or if the old asphalt is so broken that it will not hold a new layer, full replacement is the better route.
In those cases, the old pavement comes up with concrete and asphalt removal, the base gets rebuilt, and new asphalt goes in from the ground up. We will show you what we found and explain the tradeoff so you can decide with clear information.
Once repairs are done, the work moves quickly. These are the main steps on the day of the overlay:
Open country around Randlett means wind can carry dust onto a freshly cleaned surface, so we clean right before the tack coat goes on rather than hours ahead.
Hot mix needs warm air and warm pavement to compact well, so overlays happen from late spring into early fall. Because Randlett is well out on our route, we line up your project as a planned trip and coordinate repair work and paving so the crew can move straight from one step to the next.
If you know your pavement is getting tired, reach out before the season fills up. An early walkthrough gives you time to budget and gives us time to plan the trip properly. It also lets us flag any repairs that should happen first, so the overlay day itself goes smoothly.
A fresh overlay behaves like new asphalt for its first months. Avoid sharp turns while parked, keep heavy trailer jacks on boards, and give the surface time to cure before heavy loads sit on it for long.
After it cures, sealcoating the new surface every few years and sealing cracks each fall will keep water out of both layers. Randlett has been a working community since it was resettled in 1905, and pavement that gets that kind of steady care can serve a working property for a long time.
We walk the old pavement, probe soft areas, and decide together whether resurfacing or replacement fits best.
Your written quote covers base repairs, edge work, overlay thickness, and the trip window planned for the job.
We patch failed areas, clean, tack, and lay the new asphalt layer, rolling it to a smooth, tight finish.
We walk the resurfaced area with you, go over curing time, and let you know when it can handle heavy loads.
