Asphalt Paving in Orem, UT

Asphalt paving in Orem covers one of the largest cities in Utah. Orem had 98,129 residents in 2020, making it the fifth most populous city in the state. It sits at about 4,767 feet, near the east shore of Utah Lake, in what Wikipedia describes as high desert. The area was settled in 1877, and it was named in 1914 for Walter C. Orem, president of the Salt Lake and Utah Railroad. Orem received its town charter on May 5, 1919.

Orchards to neighborhoods

Orem's early farmers spread their homes along the territorial highway, now State Street, instead of building a gridded town, and orchards filled the land between. Many of today's neighborhoods were built on that orchard land in the decades after World War II. Driveways from that era often have thin bases and many patches. We probe the base and recommend replacement or repair based on what we find.

Rentals and multifamily

With Utah Valley University in the city and BYU next door in Provo, Orem has a lot of rental and multifamily housing. Apartment lots carry heavy daily traffic and need crack sealing, sealcoating and restriping on a regular schedule. We phase the work so residents keep access.

State Street businesses

State Street is Orem's main commercial corridor, and its lots see constant use. Commercial lots need thicker asphalt at entrances, good drainage to catch basins and clear striping, including accessible stalls that meet the 2010 ADA Standards.

High-desert sun

Orem's dry, sunny climate oxidizes asphalt fast. Unsealed driveways turn gray and brittle within a few years. Sealcoating every few years and crack sealing before winter are the best protection.

Permits

Moving or widening a curb cut in Orem goes through the city, and we line that up ahead of time. State Street sections and other state routes require a UDOT encroachment permit.

Rental property scheduling

For landlords and property managers, we can schedule work between tenants or section a lot so residents keep parking. Notices for tenants can go out in advance, and we coordinate restriping after sealcoat cures.
