From the first lift of gravel to the final sealcoat, 3H Paving handles every part of your asphalt project in-house. New driveways, parking lots, repairs, sealcoating, striping — one local crew, one accountable name. Family-owned and serving the Wasatch Front and Bear Lake for over a decade.
Asphalt is one of those things you don't think about until it's failing — and by then, the cheap fix is gone. 3H Paving exists to keep your investment in one piece for as long as possible. We're an asphalt-only contractor, which means our crews live inside this work every day: the right mix, the right base, the right time of year for sealcoat, and the right kind of repair before a hairline crack becomes a pothole. Below is the full list of what we do, who it's for, and what's included.
Every job — from a 600 sq ft driveway in Logan to a 40-stall commercial lot in Garden City — runs through the same people. No subcontracted handoffs.
New asphalt installations and full replacements for driveways, parking lots, and private roads. We build the base properly so the surface lasts a generation — not a winter.
Sealcoat extends asphalt life by two to three times by blocking UV, oxidation, and water intrusion. Done at the right time of year, it's the cheapest dollar you can spend on your pavement.
Crack fill, pothole patching, and overlay work. The difference between $200 in repair today and $20,000 in repave next year usually comes down to catching cracks before water gets under the surface.
Parking lot striping, ADA-compliant stalls, fire lanes, and directional markings. Sharp lines that actually last — applied with the right paint and the right film thickness for your traffic volume.
The base is everything. We grade and prep the sub-surface before we lay a single ton of asphalt — and we'll do grading work for clients building on raw land, too. The right slope is what keeps water from undermining your pavement five years in.
Different jobs, same crew, same standards. We don't sub the residential work out to whoever's cheapest that month.
New driveways for primary residences in Logan, North Logan, Smithfield, and Hyrum. Long cabin access roads around Bear Lake and Garden City. Sealcoating before winter so freeze-thaw doesn't shred your surface. Crack-fill so you don't pay for a full repave in five years.
Commercial parking lots, multi-family communities, HOAs, retail centers, churches, and storage facilities. We work around your operating hours, we keep your tenants and customers informed, and we leave the site cleaner than we found it.
Anyone can pour asphalt. The reasons 3H jobs last longer come down to four things.
The Huefner family runs every job — no rotating subcontractors, no national-chain churn. If something goes wrong in year three, you call the same number and the same people pick up.
Utah's climate is brutal on asphalt. We schedule paving and sealcoat windows around freeze-thaw cycles, summer UV peaks, and humidity — not around our calendar.
Every job is backed by a written warranty. We document the spec, the materials, and the crew before we leave the site so there's no ambiguity later.
One based in the Wasatch Front, one based at Bear Lake. That means our trucks don't have to drive two hours to your site — and our pricing reflects it.
Every project follows the same four steps so nothing falls through the cracks.
We come out, walk the property, and give you a written quote — not a guess from satellite view.
You see the exact spec: mix, thickness, base prep, square footage. We schedule around weather and your operating hours.
One crew, one foreman, one accountable name. Daily updates if the project runs more than a day.
We walk the finished surface with you before we leave. Written warranty is delivered the same day.
With proper base prep and regular sealcoating, a properly installed asphalt surface in Utah's climate should last 20–30 years. Without sealcoat or repair, freeze-thaw and UV can cut that to 10–12. The single biggest factor is base preparation — if the sub-base is compacted right, the surface above it has a fighting chance.
Late spring through early fall — typically May through October. Asphalt needs ambient and ground temperatures above roughly 50°F to compact and bond properly. We won't pour in the wrong conditions even if the calendar says we should; cold-weather paving fails faster, period.
Most Utah surfaces benefit from sealcoating every 2–3 years. New asphalt should cure 6–12 months before its first sealcoat. After that, we look for color fading, surface oxidation, and small cracks as the signal. Over-sealing isn't free — it can build up a brittle layer if done too often — so we time it based on what your surface is actually telling us.
Both. Our split is roughly 60/40 between residential and commercial across both locations. Same crew, same materials, same warranty — the only difference is the size of the job.
If the sub-base is still sound and the cracking is on the surface, you can usually get away with crack fill, patching, or an overlay. If the base has failed — you'll see "alligator" cracking, sinking sections, or standing water that won't drain — you're looking at a replacement. The on-site estimate tells you which one you're dealing with. We won't sell you a repave you don't need.
Fresh asphalt: 24 hours for foot traffic, 48–72 hours for vehicles, and avoid sharp turns or parked-in-one-spot pressure for the first 30 days while it fully cures. Fresh sealcoat: typically 24 hours for foot, 24–48 hours for cars depending on temperature. We give you the exact window before we leave the site.
