Main routes: Highway 79 and Highway W
Highway 79 comes through town as 2nd Street, part of the Great River Road, and Lock and Dam No. 24 sits on the river with a public overlook. The downtown historic district holds 65 buildings put up between about 1840 and 1930, so paving near them is close, careful work.
We pave driveways, shop and church lots and private lanes over a compacted rock base. The city maintains a flood defense system along the river, and low ground near it stays wet longer, which changes how a base has to be built. Eagle Days fills the town with visitors each winter, and lots feel it. Free estimate at (866) 490-7680, with 25% off.
River-town drives are short, sometimes steep off 2nd Street, and hemmed in by old buildings and retaining walls. Access decides the method as much as the square footage does. We rebuild the base, compact rock in layers and pave, typically 2 to 3 inches of compacted hot mix on a home drive, with the pitch set so runoff heads for the street and not a foundation wall.
Driveway pavingLots here serve shops, a church, a gallery or visitor parking near the overlook. Winter events fill them, and freeze-thaw is hardest on a lot that holds water. We size the base for the heaviest vehicle that uses it, grade the surface to a planned outlet, and keep water off foundations that have stood well over a century.
Parking lot pavingPrivate lanes and alleys behind the old blocks run narrow and often steep. We grade and crown them, compact rock in lifts and pave to the traffic they carry. Where a lane climbs from river level, edge support and a working ditch keep runoff from cutting in under the pavement.
Road constructionGeneral paving in Clarksville can be as simple as a new apron where the drive meets the street or as big as an overlay across a business lot. Either way the estimate spells out the base work, the asphalt thickness and what the finished surface should look like.
Asphalt paving
Ground on the riverbank stays wet and soft, while the Lincoln Hills behind town drain fast and steep. Both extremes are hard on pavement. Regional clay swells and shrinks with moisture, and freeze-thaw winters lift water trapped in a base. We build drainage first and compact every layer before paving.
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.
Typical ranges. Your Clarksville estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Yes. Low ground close to the Mississippi holds water and stays soft after a wet stretch, so rock goes in deeper and gets compacted in thinner layers. Runoff also needs a planned route off the surface, since flat ground near the river offers little natural fall.
We pave and repair the lots; scheduling events is up to the owner. If a lot takes heavy winter use, we plan the base and drainage around that, because water standing through freezing weather does more damage in one season than months of ordinary traffic.
Sometimes. If the base under your Clarksville pavement is still solid and the surface only has shallow cracking, an overlay can work well. If the pavement is sinking, rutting or breaking into alligator cracks, the base has failed and it needs to be rebuilt first. The free estimate is where we sort that out.
Most Clarksville estimates happen within a few days of your call, and jobs are usually scheduled a couple of weeks out depending on weather and the season. Booking early in the year gets the better dates.
We pave all around Clarksville, across Pike County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
