About us

The crew behind the lots

Arkansas Pavement handles the pavement side of the business: paving, sealcoating, repair, crack filling and striping, out of Hattieville.

Do a great job, and lift up our community while doing it

That is the whole mission, and it came from the company rather than from us.

  • Faith, honesty and charity

    These three things are the premise of the company. We are not just a faith based company. We are a company with one mission in mind: do a great job, and lift up our community while doing it.

  • Community

    When you choose us, you are choosing to help those around you. A share of what this company earns goes to local food pantries, charities and churches. We know there is no greater honor than to give to the community which surrounds us.

  • Experience

    We are not just a company founded on good deeds. Every aspect of our business has been tried and tested. We believe in using good equipment and materials, and we want every job to include as little down time for you and your business as possible.

  • Reputation

    We believe our reputation is our most valuable asset, and we treat it as such. Our team comes from a wide variety of paths and careers, with one common theme among all of us: strong morals create an even stronger reputation.

Why prep decides whether it lasts

Nothing bonds to dust, damp or grass roots. A sealcoat over a lot that was never swept lifts in sheets, paint over a dirty line peels at the edges, and sealant poured into a crack that was never blown out tears loose the first time the asphalt moves with the temperature.

The visible part of any of these jobs is the fast part. The part that decides how long it holds happens before the material comes off the truck, and it is the easiest thing to skip and the hardest to audit afterward. That is a good reason to ask any contractor what their prep looks like before you compare two numbers.

What happens between the call and the crew leaving

  1. 1

    Someone walks the lot

    Commercial asphalt is priced off the surface itself, so the first step is a site visit rather than a number over the phone. The walk looks for what the surface is doing and why: whether cracking still runs as lines or has gone to the interconnected pattern that means the base has failed, where water leaves the lot and where it stands, and what the markings are doing.

  2. 2

    The order gets set

    Most lots need more than one thing, and the sequence is not negotiable. Failed sections come out and get patched, cracks are cleaned and filled, sealer goes over asphalt that is sound, and paint goes on last once the seal has cured. Out of order wastes the work: sealer will not bridge an open crack, and paint will not bond to a surface still curing.

  3. 3

    The lot stays open

    Almost every property we work on is trading while we are there. Lots get done in sections: one area barricaded and worked while traffic uses the rest, then the sections swap. What that plan looks like depends on your entrances, your delivery times and when the property is quietest, so we set it with you before anything goes down.

Arkansas Pavement and Brice Contracting

They are the same company, YJCC LLC. That is why the machines and trucks in the photographs carry Brice Contracting markings. Anything to do with pavement runs under the Arkansas Pavement name, and the land clearing, forestry mulching and site development work runs under the other one.
