Main routes: Route 185
Just south of town, Coffeen Lake State Fish and Wildlife Area is open for fishing, boating and hunting, and Route 185 runs through Coffeen as Main Street. In town and out on the county roads, we pave driveways and parking lots with a firm base and room to turn, then the private lanes that serve rural homes and farm ground.
The lake was built as cooling water for the Coffeen Power Station, which closed in 2019, and the town takes its name from Gustavus Coffeen, one of its founders. It sits on high ground, which helps, but a compacted rock base and proper grades still decide how long pavement lasts. Every estimate is free, and you get 25% off. Call (866) 490-7680 to set one up.
If you pull a boat or camper, a driveway in Coffeen needs more width and a stronger apron than a standard drive. We grade, dig out soft ground and compact base rock in layers, then pave with hot mix, usually 2 to 3 inches compacted for home use and more where heavy trailers park. Wide, gentle turns keep trailer tires from tearing the edges.
Driveway pavingBusinesses along Main Street, churches and shops need lots that drain well and can handle trucks pulling trailers. We plan base depth for the heaviest vehicle expected, lay out parking and turning space, and grade so water leaves the surface. Sealcoat can follow after the asphalt has cured for several months.
Parking lot pavingPrivate lanes, shared roads and farm access drives around Coffeen need a compacted base, a crown, firm shoulders and culverts where ditches cross. We build for the traffic you have, from cars to grain trucks. On long lanes with light use, chip seal or recycled asphalt millings can lower the cost.
Road constructionAround Coffeen we see plenty of pavement that has been patched over and over. Sometimes one more patch is the right call. Sometimes a mill-and-overlay or a rebuild saves money over the next ten years. We will lay out both options so you can choose.
Asphalt paving
Coffeen sits on high ground that drains toward the East Fork of Shoal Creek and Coffeen Lake. That gives water somewhere to go, but slow-draining soils and winter freeze-thaw still break down pavement over a weak base. We dig to firm ground, compact the rock in lifts and shape every surface so rain runs off quickly.
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.
Typical ranges. Your Coffeen estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Yes. We can widen the drive, flare the apron at the street and add a parking pad for a trailer or camper. Areas that hold heavy trailers get a deeper base and thicker asphalt than the rest of the drive. We lay it all out during your free estimate, and you get 25% off.
No. High ground helps water leave the property, but water still needs a path off the pavement itself. A flat spot, a missing crown or a low edge can hold water, and winter freeze-thaw turns that into cracks. We set grades on every job so water runs off.
On a Coffeen job the price comes down to size, how much base work is needed, the asphalt thickness, whether old pavement has to come out, drainage fixes and how easily trucks can reach the work. Your written estimate lists each of those so you can compare it with other bids line by line.
Both. Patching a failed section, filling cracks before winter and rebuilding an apron are regular work in Coffeen. We will tell you honestly when patching is throwing good money after bad.
We pave all around Coffeen, across Montgomery County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
