Parking Lot Paving in Lehi

Silicon Slopes growth means new lots

Lehi has gone from a quiet farm town to the center of Silicon Slopes in a short span. The tech campuses, office buildings, and retail clustered around the Thanksgiving Point area and the I-15 and Traverse Mountain corridors have driven a wave of new commercial construction. Most of the paving work here is new lots and first-cycle maintenance rather than tearing out failed old ones, which is a good position for a property owner.

We connect developers, facility managers, corporate property teams, and retail landlords with vetted Utah paving contractors. A new lot is graded to drain, gets a properly compacted road base, and an asphalt section sized to its traffic. Your local paving pro handles the build and gives you a written estimate before any work starts.

Build it right, then protect it from day one

On a new lot, the base and grading are everything. A pad graded to drain and a properly compacted road base are what carry the asphalt for decades. The crews we work with size the section to the real traffic, whether that is a high-volume employee campus lot or a retail center, and get the foundation right before any asphalt goes down.

Because so many Lehi lots are new, the smart move is to start maintenance early rather than wait for problems. The first sealcoat goes on once the asphalt has fully cured, several months after paving, then every two to three years after. Crack sealing each year keeps Utah's freeze-thaw water out of the base. Starting that schedule on a new lot is how it reaches a full 20 to 25 year life.

• Graded, compacted base sized to the traffic
• First sealcoat after full cure
• Annual crack sealing against freeze-thaw
• Sealcoat every 2 to 3 years against UV

Cost guidance for new campus and retail lots

Because most Lehi work is new construction, expect new-lot pricing: a lot with grading and base typically runs about $4 to $7 per square foot, with section thickness driving where it lands. A high-volume campus lot built for heavy daily turnover sits toward the upper end. Resurfacing an existing lot on a sound base runs less, about $2 to $4 per square foot. Large lots usually price lower per foot.

These are typical 2026 ranges to help you budget, not quotes. Facility teams should plan asphalt as a lifecycle from the start: budget crack sealing yearly and sealcoating every couple of years, and schedule the eventual repave at the end of the cycle. A local paving pro can build that multi-year plan to fit a capital budget.

ADA, EV stalls, and minimal disruption

A new lot is the easiest place to get ADA right, since nothing has to be torn up. The crews we work with lay out compliant accessible stalls, van-accessible spaces, access aisles, and ramps to current requirements, and mark EV-charging stalls and traffic flow while the asphalt is fresh. Tech campuses in particular tend to need EV-stall layouts planned in from the start.

For existing campus lots, the work is phased in sections or run on weekends so employees always have parking. Striping goes back down once the asphalt has cured enough to mark, and your paving pro gives you the reopen plan before any work begins.
