Asphalt Paving in Bluffdale, UT

Asphalt paving in Bluffdale starts on ground that was once the bottom of a lake. Bluffdale sits on the former Lake Bonneville lakebed, between the Wasatch and Oquirrh ranges, with the Jordan River flowing through the city. Settled in 1848 and 1849 as part of West Jordan, it incorporated on October 13, 1978. Bluffdale grew from 7,598 residents in 2010 to 17,014 in 2020, more than doubling in a decade.

Lakebed ground

Lake Bonneville stood more than 980 feet deep before it overflowed about 17,500 years ago. Its deposits vary from sandy and gravelly along old shorelines to finer silts in the low areas. Near the Jordan River, the ground can stay wet longer. We probe for soft spots, replace them with compacted road base and grade surfaces to drain.

Larger lots and RV pads

Bluffdale has a mix of new subdivisions and larger, more rural properties. RV pads, shop aprons and long driveways are common. We size each area for its load and grade it away from buildings.

New neighborhoods

With so much recent growth, many Bluffdale driveways are new. Settled trenches and backfill near garages are common repairs. Sealcoating every few years and crack sealing in the fall protect new pavement.

Near Camp Williams

Camp Williams lies south of the city and contains the Utah Data Center. Roads and lots on the south end carry construction and military traffic. Commercial and access drives there need thicker sections.

Permits

Bluffdale City has the final word on curb cuts, and we raise that early so it does not hold up the job. State routes require a UDOT encroachment permit.

What an estimate covers

We measure, probe soft spots, check drainage and note any settled areas. For RV pads and aprons, we ask about the loads. The written quote lists every part of the job.
