Asphalt Paving in Lehi, UT

Asphalt paving in Lehi covers a city that has changed enormously in a short time. Lehi was incorporated on February 5, 1852, the sixth city in Utah, and for most of its history it was a farming town known for the Lehi Roller Mills, built in 1906 and still producing flour. Then came the tech boom. Lehi had 19,028 residents in 2000 and 75,907 in 2020, and the 2023 American Community Survey estimate was more than 90,000. Its median age in 2020 was just 26.2.

Newer neighborhoods

Most Lehi homes are recent, and many driveways are still young. That is the best time to protect them. Sealcoating every few years and sealing cracks before winter keep the surface flexible and keep meltwater out of the base. Common requests in newer areas include RV pads, side-yard parking, driveway widening and repairs where a utility trench has settled.

Older Lehi

Around the historic center and the older farm-era streets, driveways and small business lots may be decades old. Many have been patched repeatedly. When the base has failed, we recommend full replacement on fresh road base. When it is sound, an overlay or patching can buy many more years.

Tech campuses and commercial lots

Lehi's economy now includes large employers in the area known as Silicon Slopes. Ancestry moved its headquarters here in 2016, Adobe has a building with about 900 employees, and the former IM Flash plant once made 1 in 14 of the world's flash memory chips. Office and retail parking lots see heavy daily traffic, delivery trucks and snowplows. We overlay, repair, crack seal, sealcoat and restripe, phased around business hours.

Climate

Lehi averages about 12.44 inches of precipitation a year. July highs average about 90 degrees, and January lows average about 16 degrees. Strong summer sun oxidizes asphalt, and winter freeze-thaw cycles open cracks. The combination is why sealing and crack filling matter so much here.

Lehi's rules at the street

Lehi's design standards require you to notify Public Works and get permits before construction in the right-of-way, with 48 hours' notice to the inspector and no inspected work on weekends or holidays. Residential access is not allowed onto arterials or major collectors, and residential drive approaches need 50 feet of spacing on local streets and 150 feet on minor collectors. Drive approach details vary with lot frontage. When a job reaches the curb, we confirm the city's current rules before booking it.

Lehi Roller Mills and the old town core

The Lehi Roller Mills, founded in 1906 by a farmers' cooperative and listed on the National Register in 1994, still produces about 100,000 pounds of flour a day and appeared in the 1984 film Footloose. Streets around the old core have homes and small business lots that predate the tech boom by decades, and they need different work from a two-year-old driveway on Traverse Mountain.
