Paving Arnold from the base up

Arnold is the largest city in Jefferson County, and its driveways and parking lots see the traffic to prove it. Route 141 and Telegraph Road both begin at Jeffco Boulevard here, and I-55 exits 190 and 191 feed the whole city. That means home drives off busy arterials, business lots that never fully empty, and pavement carrying more weight than it was built for.

We pave driveways, lots, private roads and access drives, with the same fundamentals on each: failed material removed, rock base compacted, hot-mix asphalt placed in lifts and rolled tight, grade set to move water. Low ground near the Meramec is part of the picture, and the river's record crest on the last day of 2015 closed I-55 just north of town. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.

Driveway paving in Arnold

Hillside lots are common here, and a sloped drive puts water exactly where you do not want it. We set grade so runoff crosses the surface and leaves at the edge, not down the middle. Typical home drives get 2 to 3 inches of compacted hot-mix over compacted rock, thicker where an RV, boat trailer or work truck parks. Cracked or sunken sections usually mean the base needs work, not just a patch.

Parking lot paving in Arnold

Jeffco Boulevard, Telegraph Road and the streets around the I-55 exits carry the retail and service traffic. Lots on them need a base built for delivery trucks, clean grades to planned drains, and durable entrances where tires turn hardest. We repave worn lots, overlay sound ones, and can phase the work so half the lot stays open.

Parking lot paving

Road construction & private roads

Subdivision streets, apartment drives and private roads all fail at the same places: the wheel paths and the edges. We rebuild the base, crown the surface and tie the entrance into the public road cleanly. Access roads to shops and storage yards get thicker base where loaded trucks stop and turn.

General asphalt paving & repair

Beyond driveways and lots, we handle the everyday asphalt work around Arnold: overlays on sound pavement, full-depth patches where the base gave out, walking paths, sport courts and shop aprons. You get a straight answer on whether to repair or replace.

Built for Arnold's ground

Jefferson County's soil survey describes cherty red clay over limestone on many slopes, with loess-capped ridges near the Mississippi. Clay holds water, water freezes, and pavement lifts. We dig out soft subgrade, compact clean rock in layers and grade every surface so runoff leaves fast. Low ground near the Meramec gets extra attention.

Before you sign anything, get the base depth and the compacted asphalt thickness on paper. Two bids that look far apart are often just two different pavements.

Compacted asphaltTypically 2 to 3 in. for a car drive
Stone baseTypically 4 to 8 in., compacted
Drive on itUsually 2 to 3 days, longer in heat
First sealcoatTypically 6 to 12 months after paving

Typical ranges. Your Arnold estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Arnold paving questions

Straight answers for Arnold homeowners and property managers. Anything else, call (866) 490-7680.

Does the city or the county handle driveway permits here?

Arnold is an incorporated city, so work inside city limits goes through the city, with City Hall on Jeffco Boulevard. Hillsboro is the county seat for Jefferson County business. We sort out which applies to your address before work starts, as part of the free estimate.

How long before I can drive on new asphalt?

Usually after a day or two, but fresh asphalt stays soft for weeks while it cures. Keep heavy trucks, trailer jacks and kickstands off it early, and avoid sharp turns while standing still. We give you specifics for your job and the weather that week.

Can you pave over my old asphalt?

Sometimes. If the base under your Arnold pavement is still solid and the surface only has shallow cracking, an overlay can work well. If the pavement is sinking, rutting or breaking into alligator cracks, the base has failed and it needs to be rebuilt first. The free estimate is where we sort that out.

Does my HOA need to approve the work?

Some Arnold subdivisions have rules about materials, width or how long equipment can sit on the street. Check with your HOA before you schedule, and we will work the timing around whatever they require.
