Randlett sits southeast of Fort Duchesne, and the paved lots here are few and far between. That makes each one matter. When a church lot develops a pothole at the entrance or a shop yard starts breaking up where trucks swing around, people feel it every time they pull in.
Parking lot repair is about catching damage while it is still small and fixing what caused it. We walk the lot, mark every crack, pothole, and soft spot, and figure out whether water, heavy loads, or age is behind each one. Then we cut out the bad sections, repair the base where needed, and patch with hot mix that bonds to the existing pavement. Because Randlett is a planned trip, we bundle all the work into one visit.
We know how freeze and thaw, spring runoff, and heavy farm traffic break down pavement across the Uinta Basin.
Saws, compactors, rollers, and hot mix come out on every trip, so patches are built properly instead of filled cold.
We will separate the repairs that cannot wait from the ones that can, and tell you when patching stops making sense.
We haul off cut asphalt and old base, sweep the lot, and leave it ready for cars and trucks again.
Damage in a lot follows traffic and water. On church and community lots, it usually starts at the entrance, where every car turns, and along the edge where runoff leaves the pavement. On shop and farm yards, it shows up at the turning area, in front of the shop door, and wherever loaded trailers sit.
Low spots that hold water are another early warning. Water that sits on asphalt soaks into small cracks, softens the base, and then freezes, which is how a minor dip becomes a pothole by the end of winter.
A quick walk around your lot once a year, ideally in late summer or early fall, catches most problems before they grow. This is what we look for, and what you can watch for too:
Any of these on their own is usually a straightforward repair. Several together may point to a drainage or base problem that needs a bigger fix. Snap a few photos when you spot something new, since those pictures help us plan the right materials before the trip out.
Single cracks in otherwise sound pavement get cleaned and filled with hot sealant. Potholes and broken areas get saw cut to clean edges, cleaned out, tacked, and filled with compacted hot mix. Where the base has turned soft, we dig it out and rebuild with compacted rock before patching, so the repair does not sink again.
When standing water keeps causing the same failures, the fix is often outside the pavement itself. Adding drainage solutions around the lot, like a swale or culvert, can stop the cycle instead of patching the same spot every year.
Spring is when winter damage becomes obvious. Freeze and thaw cycles, plow blades, and snowmelt working under the edges all take their toll, and potholes seem to appear overnight in March and April.
Randlett has no climate station of its own, so we judge conditions by what we see on site rather than a forecast for some other town. Hot mix patching works best once the weather warms. We can walk your lot early in the spring, give you a repair plan, and schedule the work for the first stretch of steady warm weather, when the trip out to Randlett makes the most sense.
Small organizations and farm operations often have tight budgets. A repair plan that ranks the work by urgency helps. Base failures and potholes at entrances come first, edge and crack work comes next, and cosmetic items can wait.
If more than a modest part of the lot needs patching, it may be time to look at parking lot resurfacing instead. We will show you where that line is for your lot so you are not paying to patch pavement that is ready to be overlaid.
Fresh patches and sealed cracks hold up longer when the whole lot is protected. A coat of parking lot sealcoating after repairs blocks sun and water and gives the lot a uniform look again.
Keeping drains, ditches, and culverts clear of tumbleweeds and debris is another simple habit that protects pavement. Water that can leave the lot quickly cannot do much damage. It also helps to keep heavy equipment, dumpsters, and parked trailers off fresh patches for the first several days, and to move where loaded trailers sit from time to time so the same stretch of pavement is not carrying all the weight year after year.
We walk your lot, mark each crack, pothole, and soft spot, and pinpoint what is causing the damage.
You get a written quote listing each repair, ranked by priority, so you can approve all of it or phase it.
We saw cut, rebuild the base where needed, place and compact hot mix, and seal cracks and patch joints.
We review every repair with you and let you know when each area can reopen to parking and traffic.
