Asphalt Repair Scope Examples — Real Commercial Projects in Utah
These examples illustrate the range of commercial asphalt repair work we perform and the decision logic behind each scope selection.
Strip Mall — Utility Cut Restoration, Murray, UT
A gas utility contractor cut through a 12,000 sq ft strip mall lot to replace a gas service line, leaving a 2-foot-wide, 180-foot-long trench patched with cold-mix that was already failing two months later. We saw-cut 4 feet wide to access solid base on each side of the trench, removed the failed cold-mix to 8-inch depth, compacted sub-base, tack-coated, and filled with Type SP hot-mix in two lifts. Total repair: approximately 720 sq ft. Completed in one night shift, lot open at 6 a.m. The property management company billed repair costs back to the utility contractor using our before-and-after documentation.
Office Park — Alligator Cracking Reclamation, Draper, UT
A 3-acre office park lot had roughly 30 percent of its surface area showing Stage 3 alligator cracking—base failure confirmed by probe. Individual patches were not cost-effective. We performed full-depth reclamation on the three most affected aisles: ground the existing asphalt, graded and compacted the base, applied 12 inches of compacted Class 6 base aggregate, and paved two-inch Type SP wearing course. Remaining lot sections received crack seal and seal coat. The owner extended pavement life 15 to 20 years on the reclaimed sections for roughly 60 percent of full reconstruction cost.
Grocery Store — Pothole Cluster, West Valley, UT
A high-traffic grocery store lot had 14 potholes ranging from 2 to 8 square feet each concentrated in the main drive aisle. Base was sound adjacent to each pothole—failures were the result of a poorly executed seal coat application two years prior that trapped water. We executed 14 individual saw-cut patches averaging 3x4 feet each over a single weekend night. Total: approximately 170 sq ft patched. All patches were 6-inch full depth with compacted sub-base. Store management reported zero customer complaints about rough lot surface within 30 days of repair.
Industrial Tenant — Mill-and-Overlay, Salt Lake City, UT
A 45,000 sq ft industrial lot had widespread surface oxidation and transverse cracking consistent with thermal cycling over 15 years but structurally sound base. Mill-and-overlay was the correct scope: we milled 1.5 inches across the full lot, applied SS-1h tack coat, and installed a 2-inch Type SP wearing course. New striping followed the next day. Cost came in at $2.20 per square foot for the mill-and-overlay versus $8.50 per square foot quoted by another contractor for full reconstruction—an unnecessary scope on a sound base.

Common Questions
- How do you handle utility locate before milling or excavation?
- We submit 811 utility locate requests at least 72 hours before any milling or excavation. We also request as-built drawings from property management when available—utility locate marks can miss private utilities that are not registered in the one-call system.
- Can you do repairs in phases to fit our budget cycle?
- Yes. We help clients prioritize repairs by severity—active base failure first, surface deterioration second—and sequence phases to fit annual maintenance budgets. We can also coordinate with your capital planning cycle to schedule larger projects 6 to 12 months out.
- Do you handle ADA transition ramp repairs adjacent to asphalt?
- We repair asphalt up to the face of curb ramps and concrete transitions. ADA ramp replacement itself is concrete work—we coordinate with concrete subcontractors when a project scope crosses both materials.
