Belleville is the St. Clair County seat, and by 1870 roughly nine in ten residents were German-born or of German descent. The historic district on the east side still holds homes built between 1830 and 1900, many on narrow lots with tight drives. Old ground and old drainage make driveway and parking lot work here a question of what sits under the surface.
Richland Creek runs through much of the city. Route 159 carries five lanes from just north of the Public Square up to I-64 in Fairview Heights, and Routes 15, 161 and 13 all feed traffic in. We pave home driveways, business and church lots, apartment drives and private streets over a compacted rock base. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.
Historic district lots are narrow, and a drive there often runs the full depth of the property between a house and a neighbor. Tight work needs clean edges and a careful grade. We remove failed material, compact rock in layers and place hot-mix asphalt, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups. Newer subdivisions on the upland side get the same base work, sized for whatever parks on it.
Driveway pavingLots along Route 159, Illinois Street, Route 15 and the blocks off the Public Square carry steady traffic all day. We size the base for delivery trucks, set grades to planned drains, and build entrances where tires turn hardest. Work can be phased so half a lot stays open. Sound lots may fit an overlay and seal coating instead.
Parking lot pavingSubdivision streets, apartment drives, church access roads and private lanes break down in the wheel paths and along the edges first. We rebuild the base there, crown the surface and tie the entrance cleanly into the public street. Where trucks stop or turn, the rock goes deeper and the asphalt goes thicker.
Road constructionAround Belleville we see plenty of pavement that has been patched over and over. Sometimes one more patch is the right call. Sometimes a mill-and-overlay or a rebuild saves money over the next ten years. We will lay out both options so you can choose.
Asphalt paving
Uplands east of the Mississippi bluffs are covered in thick windblown loess silt, up to about 90 feet deep near the bluff line. Silt drains slowly once compacted, and the low ground along Richland Creek stays wet. Add freeze-thaw winters and a wet base lifts the pavement above it. We fix drainage and base first.
Bids are only comparable when they spell out the same things: base depth, compacted thickness, how edges are finished, and where water is meant to go. Ask for those before you pick a number.
Typical ranges. Your Belleville estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Often yes, especially where the apron meets a city street or a state route such as Route 159 or Route 15. City streets and state routes follow different rules. We confirm what your address requires before work starts, as part of the free estimate.
Yes. On east side properties we hold drive widths, edge lines and grades close to what is already there, work carefully around walks, steps and mature trees, and match the apron to the street. Asphalt goes down smooth and dark, which sits quietly beside brick and stone.
Typically a compacted crushed-stone base several inches deep on firm soil, with soft spots dug out first, and that holds for any Belleville 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.
Only if the grade changes. Paving over a low spot in Belleville leaves the same low spot in a smoother surface. We measure the fall first and tell you what it takes to move the water.
We pave all around Belleville, across St. Clair County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
