Paving Contractor in Orem, UT
J&C Asphalt is headquartered in Orem, which means Orem jobs get our shortest response time and the least travel between our shop and your driveway. Most residential projects here are still completed in a single day, sunup to sundown, with a full crew rather than a two-person operation working over several days.
Orem Is Where We Start Every Morning
Orem sits between Provo to the south and Lindon and Vineyard to the north, with Utah Lake to the west and Mt. Timpanogos rising over the Wasatch Range to the east. It's one of the older, more built-out cities in Utah Valley, home to Utah Valley University, the State Street and University Parkway commercial corridors, and neighborhoods that range from established cul-de-sac subdivisions to newer infill construction closer to Geneva Road.
That mix matters for paving. A lot of the residential driveways in Orem's older neighborhoods, the ones built out through the 70s, 80s, and 90s, are now old enough to be showing real wear: cracking, alligatoring, and edge crumbling from three decades of Utah's freeze-thaw winters and dry, high-heat summers. Newer subdivisions closer to Vineyard and the Geneva corridor are dealing with different issues, mostly sub-base settling as the ground continues to compact after construction.
We work both ends of that spectrum: full driveway replacement for older homes, and new installation for properties still being built out.
Neighborhoods We Work In
Orem is a city of contrasts once you get off State Street. On the east bench, closer to the foothills of Mt. Timpanogos, lots tend to sit on firmer, rockier ground, and many of the driveways there were poured decades ago as those neighborhoods first developed. Down toward the center of the city, near UVU and the University Mall area (now redeveloping as University Place), you'll find a denser mix of multi-family properties, retail parking lots, and older single-family streets. West of State Street, heading toward Geneva Road and Utah Lake, the ground is generally lower and flatter, with a mix of established neighborhoods and newer infill development still being built out.
Each of those areas calls for a slightly different approach, whether that's extra attention to sub-base prep on softer west-side lots, careful root removal on older established streets, or straightforward new installation on freshly graded properties. Because we're based here, we've paved in all three parts of the city and adjust our process to the specific lot rather than running a one-size-fits-all job.

Orem Paving FAQ
Do you serve neighborhoods near UVU and University Parkway?
Yes. We regularly work in the neighborhoods surrounding Utah Valley University, along University Parkway, and up through the Sandhill Road and State Street corridors.
Why does it matter that J&C is based in Orem?
Our shop is at 574 E 1400 S, so Orem jobs are the shortest drive for our crew and equipment. That means less time in transit and more time on your project.
My driveway was poured in the 80s or 90s. Is it worth replacing?
Most asphalt driveways last 20 to 30 years. A lot of Orem's older neighborhoods, especially the tract housing built through the 70s, 80s, and 90s, are right in that window where cracking and alligatoring show up. We can tell you honestly whether it needs full replacement or just repair.
Do you pave commercial lots along State Street?
Yes. State Street and University Parkway carry heavy retail and commercial traffic, and we handle new installation, overlays, and striping for lots in those corridors.
Do you work on properties near Utah Lake or the west side of Orem?
Yes. The lower-lying west side of Orem, closer to Utah Lake, sometimes has softer, less consolidated soil than the benches closer to the mountain. We adjust our sub-base prep accordingly rather than treating every lot the same.
