1958, Robert L. Mendenhall started what is now Nevada’s top heavy civil construction company, Las Vegas Paving Corp. With very little capital and a lot of desire, he was able to turn one hot plant into nine while expanding the company’s capability to complete any task associated with highway construction.

Now with 56 years in Nevada and the surrounding southwest, Las Vegas Paving’s success is undeniable. In 2006, asphalt production climbed to 2,000,000 tons with aggregate production eclipsing 10,000,000 tons for the year. With our large inventory of equipment available for a variety of projects, Las Vegas Paving self-performs the vast majority of work contracted to complete. Our scope of work includes but is not limited to: mass grading of private home and commercial developments, producing and placing asphalt for surface streets and highways, aggregate crushing and material supply, flood control and underground facilities, forming and placing structural concrete, constructing runways for international airports and multi-million dollar Design-Build and Construction Manager at Risk projects.
Construction Notebook Over the years we have seen our scope of work and volumes increase. In May of 2013, ENR magazine ranked Las Vegas Paving as the #44 Domestic Heavy Contractor and #185 of the Top 400 contractors.
Maintaining the core values that were installed at the company’s inception, Las Vegas Paving Corp still relies on innovation, quality and efficiency to lay the groundwork for being the number one heavy civil construction company in Nevada. At Las Vegas Paving we are proud to say “WE’RE #1”.
