Asphalt Paving in Riverton, UT

Asphalt paving in Riverton takes in a city named for its river. The Jordan River forms Riverton's eastern boundary, and the city sits at about 4,439 feet at the south end of the Salt Lake Valley. Riverton got electricity in 1912, was served by the Salt Lake and Utah Railroad from 1914 to 1945, and incorporated in 1947. It had 45,285 residents in 2020, up 16.9 percent from 2010.

From farmland to suburbs

Riverton was farm country for most of its history, and much of its housing was built in the last few decades. Driveways from the 1990s and early 2000s are now reaching the age where unsealed asphalt starts to fail. Where the base is sound, an overlay works. Where it is not, replacement is the better choice.

Near the river

Properties near the Jordan River can have wetter, softer ground. We dig out soft subgrade and use more compacted road base where needed, and grade every driveway to drain.

Climate

Riverton averages about 15.76 inches of precipitation a year, with hot, dry summers and cold winters. Sun oxidizes unsealed asphalt, and freeze-thaw opens cracks. Filling cracks each autumn and resealing every few summers covers both problems.

RV pads and larger lots

Many Riverton homes have room for an RV pad or side-yard parking. We size the pad to the vehicle and grade it away from the house.

Permits

Changes at the curb in Riverton go through the city, which we coordinate before the paving date is set. State routes require a UDOT encroachment permit.

What an estimate covers

We take measurements, follow the runoff, probe for weak ground and inspect the approach and garage joint. Removal, base depth, mix thickness and edges each get their own line on the bid.

Maintenance that pays off

A driveway that is still in decent shape mostly needs upkeep, an autumn crack-fill and a reseal every few summers, at a small fraction of replacement cost. That costs a fraction of replacement and adds years of life.
