Main routes: Natural Bridge Road
About 750 homes, brick and shaded by old trees, make up most of Bel-Nor. That means driveways: two-car pads, single strips that no longer fit the household, and aprons at the street that have cracked along the same line for years. Parking lots at the churches, offices and campus buildings round out the work.
Natural Bridge Road (Route 115) runs along the city, part of the UMSL campus reaches into it, and the Normandie Golf Club has been a course here since 1901. The village became a city in 2015. We remove failed material, compact a rock base, then place and roll hot-mix asphalt to a dense, drained finish. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.
Mid-century brick homes came with mid-century driveways, narrow and often on a base that was never built for today's vehicles. We take out the failed surface, rebuild and compact the base, and place hot-mix asphalt, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted. Mature trees complicate things: roots lift pavement, so we deal with the roots and the grade rather than paving over the problem.
Driveway pavingSmall lots serve the churches, offices and campus buildings in and around the city. Those lots take constant turning at the entrance and a few heavy trucks each week for deliveries and trash pickup. We build those areas thicker, grade the lot to drain at planned points, and repair or overlay pavement that is still sound.
Parking lot pavingResidential streets and shared drives here see steady, ordinary traffic, and they fail slowly along the edges where water sits. We rebuild base, set a crown that moves water to the curb line, and keep edges tight. Apartment and institutional access drives get a section sized for delivery and service trucks.
Road constructionNot every job is a full rebuild. On older Bel-Nor pavement we often start with the smaller fixes: cutting out a failed patch, resetting a sunken section by the garage, or putting a fresh overlay over a surface whose base is still sound. We tell you which of those your asphalt actually needs, and we put it in writing.
Asphalt paving
North county sits on loess upland, and the St. Louis County soil survey notes local roads and streets on many of those soils need adequate base material plus ditches and culverts against low strength and frost action. Clay under a shaded, slow-drying yard stays damp. We grade to move water and compact rock in layers.
A cheap bid usually gets cheap somewhere you cannot see. Ask what depth of stone goes down, how thick the asphalt is after rolling, and who fixes it if water still stands.
Typical ranges. Your Bel-Nor estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Roots follow moisture and lift pavement from below. Paving over them buys a couple of years at most. We cut and treat offending roots where it is safe for the tree, rebuild the base in that section, and set grade so the area drains. Sometimes a slight realignment saves a big tree.
Yes. Part of the campus reaches into the city, and we pave driveways and lots throughout this cluster of north county municipalities, including Normandy, Greendale and Bellerive Acres. Estimates are free, and you get 25% off on the work.
Typically a compacted crushed-stone base several inches deep on firm soil, with soft spots dug out first, and that holds for any Bel-Nor driveway. On clay soils that hold water, a thicker base and good slope matter even more. The estimate states the base depth so there are no surprises.
Often it can. A settled apron on a Bel-Nor drive usually means the base under it gave way. We dig out the soft material, rebuild with compacted stone, and reset the grade so water leaves the drive instead of pooling at the garage.
We pave all around Bel-Nor, across St. Louis County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
