Paving Bellflower from the base up

Main Street in Bellflower is Highway E, running north and south through town, and that is where most of the paving decisions start: driveways off it, parking lots along it, farm lanes reaching out from it. The town took its name from the bellflowers growing near the original site.

Its post office dates to 1887, and Montgomery City, the county seat, is about ten miles off. We pave drives, lots and lanes the same way: soft ground dug out, clean rock compacted in layers, hot-mix asphalt placed and rolled dense, and a grade that pushes water off the surface before it can soak the base. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.

Driveway paving in Bellflower

Country drives in northeastern Montgomery County run long and carry more than cars: pickups with trailers, delivery trucks, sometimes farm equipment. We size the base for the heaviest load and set grade so water crosses the drive and leaves. Typical home drives get 2 to 3 inches of compacted hot-mix over compacted rock, thicker at turnarounds and parking flats. Long lanes can be paved in sections.

Parking lot paving in Bellflower

Lot work here is a church, a shop, a small business yard or a farm equipment pad. Each one gets base built for the trucks that actually use it, a grade that drains away from buildings, and edges that hold instead of crumbling under a tire. Sound older asphalt may need only crack repair and seal coating.

Road construction & private roads

Farm lanes and field roads take heavy weight in short bursts at planting and harvest. We build them with compacted rock and a crown that sheds water, then asphalt where traffic is regular or chip seal where it is light. Entrances off Highway E get extra base where turning trucks load the edge.

General asphalt paving & repair

Out around Bellflower, general asphalt work often means shop pads, machine-shed aprons, turnarounds for trucks and trailers, and the stretch of lane where gravel keeps washing out. We build those with drainage and heavy tires in mind.

Ground, water and winter in Bellflower

Montgomery County's upland flats carry claypan soil, slow to drain, with a perched water table in winter and spring. The official type location for Mexico silt loam is a few miles east of Montgomery City. On ground like that, subgrade drainage decides everything, so we ditch, grade and compact before a load of asphalt shows up.

The part of the job you can see is the last two inches. Ask what is underneath, how it will be compacted, and which way the finished surface drains.

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 Bellflower estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Bellflower paving questions

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

Is the ground here hard on pavement?

Claypan soils drain slowly and hold a perched water table in the wetter months, which is rough on any pavement resting directly on them. The answer is a compacted rock base, a graded surface and somewhere for water to go. Built that way, asphalt holds up fine.

Do you pave around Montgomery City and Truxton too?

Yes. We work through Montgomery County and the country around it, including Montgomery City, Truxton, New Florence and Middletown, along with greater St. Louis. Estimates are free and come with 25% off on the work.

How long does a new asphalt driveway take in Bellflower?

Most Bellflower driveways are paved in one to two days once the base is ready, with more time if the old surface has to come out or the base needs rebuilding. You can usually walk on it the same day and drive on it after a few days, depending on the weather.

Is chip seal or asphalt millings a better fit for a long drive?

Both cost less than hot mix and both work well on long drives around Bellflower. Chip seal gives a tough, textured surface; compacted millings bind tighter than gravel and cut the dust. We will walk the lane and tell you honestly where each one makes sense.
