Main routes: Highway B
Driveways, church and shop parking lots, and farm lanes make up the paving around Biehle, a small community on a ridge above a sharp bend in Apple Creek. Immigrants from Baden settled here in the 1840s, and the stone St. Maurus church was dedicated in 1869. Ridge ground sheds water fast, which is good until it starts taking the shoulder with it.
Highway B runs out to I-55 at exit 123, which is signed for the community. The village disincorporated in 2003, so county rules govern road work. We remove soft material, compact clean rock in layers, then place and roll hot-mix asphalt to a dense finish with a grade that moves water where it should go. Free estimates, and you get 25% off.
Ridge-top drives run with the slope, so water picks up speed along them. We shape a cross slope that gets runoff off the surface early, firm the shoulders so the edge does not undercut, and build base to carry farm pickups and trailers. Typical home drives get 2 to 3 inches of compacted hot-mix over compacted rock, with more where equipment turns.
Driveway pavingParish, shop and farm yard pads are the lots out here. Each one gets a base sized for the heaviest thing that parks on it, a grade that keeps water away from doors and slabs, and edges rolled tight. An older asphalt yard in sound shape can be crack repaired and seal coated instead of rebuilt.
Parking lot pavingFarm lanes and field roads around Apple Creek run down off the ridge, and that is where they wash. We build with compacted rock, crown or cross slope the surface, and set culverts where runoff crosses. Asphalt suits lanes with regular truck use, chip seal fits lighter ones, and entrances off Highway B get extra base.
Road constructionOut around Biehle, 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.
Asphalt paving
Eastern Perry County is karst, with caves, sinkholes, springs and losing streams tying surface runoff straight into shallow groundwater. Water moves in ways you cannot always see, and soft spots show up where it collects. We look at drainage before thickness, dig out what is soft, and compact rock in layers.
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 Biehle estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

It changes what we look for. Perry County's karst moves water through cracks, sinkholes and springs, so we pay attention to where runoff goes rather than just where it leaves the pavement. Soft or settling spots get dug out and rebuilt instead of covered over.
Yes. We work through Perry County, including Perryville, Longtown and the country around Highway B and I-55 exit 123, along with greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Estimates are free, and you get 25% off.
Typically a compacted crushed-stone base several inches deep on firm soil, with soft spots dug out first, and that holds for any Biehle 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.
Not usually. If the subgrade under a Biehle lane is soft, stone alone just sinks into it. The fix is digging out the soft spots and rebuilding in compacted layers so the base has something to sit on.
We pave all around Biehle, across Perry County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
