Your Clayton paving crew

The county seat holds the region's second largest business district after downtown St. Louis, with roughly 46,000 daytime employees. That is a great many cars, delivery vans and trash trucks moving through garages, service drives and surface lots every working day. Pavement in a district like this gets no off-season.

A few blocks out, the streets turn residential, with older homes and narrow drives beside them. We pave both: business lots and access drives sized for truck loads, and home driveways rebuilt from the base up. Work in a busy district gets phased so a lot never closes all at once. Free estimate at (866) 490-7680, and you get 25% off.

Driveway paving in Clayton

Homes here often have a narrow drive running alongside the house to a detached garage, sometimes shared with a neighbor. Tight access means smaller equipment and careful hand work at the edges. We rebuild failed base, compact rock in layers and pave, typically 2 to 3 inches of compacted hot mix, with the grade set so water runs to the street rather than toward a basement wall.

Parking lot paving in Clayton

Surface lots and garage aprons off Hanley Road, Brentwood Boulevard and Forest Park Parkway see constant turning, delivery traffic and trash trucks. Those loads set base depth. We phase the work so part of the lot stays open, plan drainage alongside the striping layout, and mill and overlay where the base underneath is still sound.

Parking lot paving

Road construction & private roads

Service drives, alleys behind office buildings and loading approaches take the heaviest wear in a district like this, since trucks turn tight and stop hard. We build deeper base at entrances and turning points, pave to the load, and keep the surface pitched so meltwater leaves instead of standing against a dock.

General asphalt paving & repair

Not every job is a full rebuild. On older Clayton pavement we often start with the smaller fixes: cutting out a failed patch, resetting a sunken section by the garage, or putting a fresh overlay over a surface whose base is still sound. We tell you which of those your asphalt actually needs, and we put it in writing.

Built for Clayton's ground

The central part of the county is rolling upland over the clay-heavy soils common around St. Louis. Clay swells with water and shrinks as it dries, and pavement laid over that movement cracks. Winter freeze-thaw widens every crack that holds water. Compaction and drainage decide how long a surface holds up.

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.

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

Clayton paving questions

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

Can a lot be paved without closing all of it?

Usually yes. We split the work by section so part of the lot stays open, and schedule the loudest stages around business hours when weather allows. The phasing plan gets set with you before anything starts, and the estimate costs nothing.

How is a driveway here different from a suburban one?

Access and edges. A narrow drive between houses limits equipment size, so more is done by hand, and the edges need extra care because there is no shoulder holding them up. Drainage has to be exact too, since stray water has nowhere to go but a neighbor's yard.

Is my part of St. Louis County in your service area?

Yes. We work in Clayton and throughout St. Louis County, along with the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Call or send the form with your address and we will set up a time to look at the job.

Do you handle alley aprons and shared drives?

Yes. Shared drives and alley aprons in Clayton get the same treatment as any other job: a firm base, a clean saw-cut edge where new meets old, and a surface shaped to move water. When a drive is shared, it helps if every owner sees the estimate.
