Driveway, lot and private road paving around the three lakes, with free estimates and 25% off.
Free estimates25% off
Three lakes give this community its shape: Lake Briarwood, Fishermans Lake and Spring Lake. Driveways run off narrow lake roads, and plenty of them slope toward water. That changes how a drive or a small lot has to be built, and it puts drainage ahead of everything else on the job.
We pave driveways, parking pads and shared drives with a compacted rock base and hot-mix asphalt, graded so runoff leaves the surface instead of soaking into it. Where a gravel lane has held up well, recycled asphalt millings or chip seal can give you a hard surface for less per foot. Highway 21 runs between here and De Soto, so getting a truck and paver in is straightforward. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.
Lakeside driveways catch water from uphill, so the base comes first. We strip soft ground, compact rock in layers, and shape the surface so runoff crosses to the shoulder instead of running down the middle. Home drives typically get 2 to 3 inches of compacted hot-mix asphalt over that base. Steeper approaches get firm edge support, since the sides are where a hard winter shows up first.
Driveway pavingThere is no commercial strip out here, so most lots are small: a community building, a church, boat and trailer parking, or an extra pad beside a garage. We size the base for the heaviest thing that will sit on it, then slope the surface toward a planned outlet rather than the nearest low spot. Standing water is what ends a lot early.
Parking lot pavingPrivate lake roads and shared drives take more punishment from runoff than from traffic. We grade and crown them, compact rock in lifts and pave to a thickness that fits the use. Where a road runs along a slope, keeping the ditch line open matters as much as the asphalt on top of it.
Road constructionFarm yards, equipment pads, church lots and long country drives around Briarwood Estates 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
Ground near water stays damp longer, and damp base moves under load. The clay-heavy soils common around St. Louis hold water, then swell and shrink with the seasons. Add freeze-thaw winters and you get broken edges and potholes. We build drainage first, compact the base second, and pave last.
Before you sign anything, get the base depth and the compacted asphalt thickness on paper. Two bids that look far apart are often just two different pavements.

Yes. Drives off the roads serving Lake Briarwood, Fishermans Lake and Spring Lake are the usual work in a place like this. Access matters more than square footage, so we check turning room, slope and where water goes during the free estimate.
No. We serve greater St. Louis on both sides of the river, including this part of Jefferson County northwest of De Soto. Call (866) 490-7680 and we will look at the job, give you a free estimate and take 25% off the price.
Typically a compacted crushed-stone base several inches deep on firm soil, with soft spots dug out first, and that holds for any Briarwood Estates 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.
It can, but it has to be built for that load. On Briarwood Estates 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.
We pave all around Briarwood Estates, across Jefferson County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
