Main routes: Route 161
A drive that ruts every spring almost never has a surface problem. It has a base problem. That is worth saying first in a Clinton County farm village, because the drives and lots here carry pickups, trailers and equipment that a thin section cannot hold. We pave driveways and parking lots, and we build the base under them to match the load.
Route 161 runs through town, east toward Centralia and west a few miles to Germantown, so the entrance apron is where a lot of wear starts. Every job gets soft material removed, rock compacted in layers, a grade that moves water off, and hot-mix asphalt rolled to a dense finish.

Farm-village drives do double duty. The family cars use them daily and something heavy uses them a few weeks a year. We size the base for the heavy weeks, not the average day: soft ground out, rock compacted in lifts, and hot-mix asphalt placed at a typical 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups, thicker where trucks turn in. Fall is set away from the house and the shop door.
Driveway pavingA church lot, a small business lot on Route 161 or a pad in front of a machine shed all start the same way. We look at where vehicles come in, how they turn, and where water ends up. The entrance gets extra base, truck lanes get more depth, and the surface gets graded to a clear outlet so nothing ponds in a corner.
Parking lot pavingField roads, shared drives and private lanes are steady work out here. A crowned surface over compacted rock keeps water out of the wheel paths, and cut shoulders keep it from standing at the edge. Chip seal fits a long lane that sees light traffic. Asphalt fits one that takes loaded trucks through the season.
Road constructionFarm yards, equipment pads, church lots and long country drives around Bartelso each carry different loads. We size the base and the asphalt to the traffic that will actually use it, then compact every layer so it stays put.
Asphalt paving
Flat ground east of St. Louis drains slowly, and slow drainage is what kills pavement here. Water sits, works into a weak base, freezes and pushes the surface up. We build against that: remove the soft material, compact rock in layers, and set enough fall that runoff leaves before the first hard freeze does anything with it.
When you compare bids, ask each contractor for three numbers in writing: the compacted asphalt thickness, the base depth, and what happens to the water. Those three decide how long the surface lasts.
Typical ranges. Your Bartelso estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Yes, if it is built for one. Heavy trucks need a thicker compacted rock base and more asphalt than a car drive, especially at the apron, at turns and anywhere they stop. We ask what uses the drive and size the base and the asphalt to match at your free estimate.
Yes. We work in Bartelso and the surrounding Clinton County towns, including Germantown, Beckemeyer, Breese and Carlyle, along with the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Estimates are free and you get 25% off.
On a Bartelso job the price comes down to size, how much base work is needed, the asphalt thickness, whether old pavement has to come out, drainage fixes and how easily trucks can reach the work. Your written estimate lists each of those so you can compare it with other bids line by line.
It can, but it has to be built for that load. On Bartelso properties, heavy equipment needs a deeper base and a thicker mat than a car driveway. Tell us what actually drives on it, including grain trucks and trailers, and the estimate is sized to that.
