Asphalt Paving in American Fork, UT

Asphalt paving in American Fork means working in one of Utah County's older cities. Settlers arrived in 1850, organized the first church ward in 1851, and by 1853 had moved into a 37-acre central fort. The town was first called Lake City and took the name American Fork in 1860. It sits at the foot of Mount Timpanogos, north of Utah Lake, at elevations from about 4,566 to 4,619 feet. The population grew from 26,262 in 2010 to 33,337 in 2020, with a 2023 estimate of 38,549.

Older streets and driveways

American Fork's older neighborhoods have homes and driveways from many eras. Driveways built decades ago were often laid on thin base, and they show it with alligator cracking, sunken spots and broken edges. When most of the surface is failing, replacement on fresh compacted road base is usually the better spend. If the problems are confined to a few spots, we patch and seal.

Growth near transit

The FrontRunner commuter rail station opened in American Fork in 2012, and newer housing and commercial development followed nearby. Newer driveways mostly need protecting: crack fill before the snow and a fresh seal every few summers.

Canyon winds and winter

American Fork Canyon opens just east of town and was a rail access point for mining in the 1870s. Like the rest of the Utah Valley bench, the city sees cold winters with snow and freeze-thaw cycles and hot, dry summers. Both are hard on asphalt. Good drainage, a solid base and regular sealing make the difference.

Industry and commercial lots

American Fork had a steel mill until November 2001, and its commercial areas along Main Street and near the freeway serve a large share of north Utah County. Business lots need thicker sections where trucks run and regular restriping. We repair, overlay and stripe lots and phase the work.

Permits

In American Fork, the city reviews work past your property line, such as a wider approach. State routes require a UDOT encroachment permit for driveway work. We raise this during the estimate.

What an estimate covers

Expect a tape measure, a level and a probe rod: we size the area, see which way water runs, test for soft ground and look at the joints at the curb and garage. Then you get a line-by-line bid you can hold up against anyone else's.
