Commercial Asphalt in Hattieville, AR
The yard. Arkansas Pavement runs its commercial asphalt work out of Hattieville, in Conway County, and covers Arkansas from here.
Hattieville is where the trucks are parked. Arkansas Pavement, along with Brice Contracting, works out of 3 Timbercreek Road in Conway County, and every crew that reaches a lot anywhere in Central or Northwest Arkansas leaves from here.
The commercial property in and around Hattieville itself is the kind that rarely gets a contractor to show up: small business surfaces, church lots, community buildings and rural commercial drives. Being the local yard means those are the easiest jobs for us to do rather than the hardest.
Commercial asphalt is priced off the surface itself, so the quote follows a walk of the property rather than a phone call. The estimate is free.
Why the yard being here matters to a local property
Asphalt work travels heavy, and moving the iron is a real part of the cost of any job. For a property near the yard, that part largely disappears. It means small pieces of work are worth doing on their own instead of being saved up until they are big enough to justify the trip, and it means weather delays are easier to absorb, because a rescheduled local job is not competing with a three-hour drive.
It also means we are honest about the order of work. The company covering the whole maintenance cycle rather than just paving is what allows the answer to be "this lot needs crack filling and a seal, not a repave", which is not a sentence a paving-only contractor has much reason to say.

Gravel lines, open edges, and what a rural surface was actually built to carry
Rural commercial property out here is usually part gravel and part asphalt, and the line where the two meet does more damage than anything else on the site. Tires carry loose stone off the gravel onto the mat, and that stone works like grit under a wheel, wearing the top and polishing the aggregate smooth. It also gets pressed into anything laid over it, so a fresh surface treatment run across a dirty transition starts wearing the day it cures.
The other rural pattern is an edge with nothing behind it. In town an asphalt edge usually runs into concrete curb that holds it in place. Out here it runs into grass, and the mat has no lateral support at all. A wheel rides the edge and pushes it out, a piece breaks off, the next wheel finds the new edge, and the surface quietly loses width an inch at a time. Nobody notices until a truck cannot make a turn it used to make.
It is also worth asking what the surface was built to carry. A drive or apron laid for a pickup and the odd delivery is thinner than a lot built for trucks, and rural property tends to change use without the pavement changing with it. When a shop starts loading equipment onto trailers, the weight arrives at single points: a trailer jack, an outrigger foot, a stand under a hitch. Those push through a thin mat that carries rolling traffic perfectly well.
If there is time to look at one thing, walk the perimeter before the middle. On rural property the center of a mat usually has the least wrong with it, because it takes rolling traffic and nothing else. The money is at the transitions: where gravel meets asphalt, where the mat meets grass, where the drive meets the public road, and the few square feet where weight parks and stays. Those four spots account for most of what fails on a rural surface.

Brice Contracting did a great job sealcoating our driveway. Prompt, efficient, good communication, good price, thank you gentlemen!
Austin and his team communicated clearly on how repairs and seal coating would be done. This was a large project. They stayed within budget and had exceptional follow up.
Brice did an excellent job redoing our church parking lot, it looks so nice and clean. I highly recommend Brice Contracting for your job!
We needed some speed bumps installed in our parking lot. Brice made sure all of our needs were met, and went the extra mile to make us satisfied. His crew was timely, clean, and polite. On top of that, the work was done at a great price. Highly recommend.
Quality Work and Excellent Service! Austin was very communicative while developing the plan and executing the work.
Austin and Ethan showed up earlier than expected and took so much pride in their work. It looks amazing.

Hattieville questions, straight answers
Are you actually based in Hattieville?
Yes. 3 Timbercreek Road, Conway County. Arkansas Pavement and Brice Contracting are the same company, YJCC LLC, trading under two names: 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.
Do you take small local jobs?
Yes, and being the local yard is why. The travel that makes a small surface uneconomic two hours out is not a factor here. Call and ask rather than assuming a job is too small.
Our gravel drive feeds straight onto the asphalt. Does that hurt it?
It does, and on rural property it is usually where wear shows up first. Stone tracked onto the mat grinds at the surface under traffic and gets pressed into anything laid over it, so a fresh coat begins wearing immediately. There are two ways at it. Keep the transition swept, which is housekeeping rather than a contractor job, or give the gravel a defined stopping point so it stops migrating onto the mat. Either is worth sorting before money goes on the surface.
The lot loses a few inches off one side every year. Can that be stopped?
Yes, and it rarely means redoing the lot. An edge with nothing supporting it will keep breaking back, so the repair has to give it something to lean on. The ragged material comes off to a clean line and the ground behind gets built up and compacted to meet the mat. Patching only the crumbled part leaves the same unsupported edge sitting a few inches further in, and it goes the same way.
We park trailers and equipment on the surface. Does that need something different?
Often yes, and usually only in specific spots. Rolling traffic spreads its weight across a contact patch that keeps moving. A parked trailer jack or an outrigger puts the same weight through a few square inches and holds it there, which is what pushes a dent into a mat that is otherwise sound. Working out where those points actually land is the useful exercise, because it is normally a handful of places rather than the whole yard, and a pad built for the load beats resurfacing the same area over and over.
