Main routes: I-70
I-70 and Florissant Road are the main roads through this small city, and the interchange between them, exit 240, sits inside the city limits. Part of the University of Missouri-St. Louis property also lies within Cool Valley, so campus edges and quiet neighborhood streets end up close together.
The city was incorporated in 1951, and plenty of its driveways are working on their second or third surface by now. We rebuild failed base, pave in hot-mix asphalt and set grades so water reaches the street. Lots near the interchange take heavier traffic, and their base gets sized for it. Crack filling and seal coating come later, once new asphalt has cured for months. Free estimate at (866) 490-7680, and 25% off.
A drive from the early 1950s has had seventy-odd winters working underneath it, and the question is whether the base is still sound. Narrow cracks over firm ground can take an overlay. A drive that flexes underfoot, or keeps growing the same pothole, needs the base dug out, re-rocked and compacted, then repaved at typically 2 to 3 inches of compacted hot mix.
Driveway pavingChurch, school and apartment lots make up much of the commercial paving in a city this size, and Cool Valley Elementary sits on South Florissant Road. School and church lots take buses and delivery trucks in short, heavy bursts. We size the base for those vehicles and settle the drainage before the striping layout is final.
Parking lot pavingSide streets, apartment access drives and parking entrances take a beating near a busy interchange. We grade and crown, compact rock in lifts and pave to the traffic, with deeper base where vehicles enter, brake and turn. Firm edges keep pavement from breaking away where there is no curb to hold it.
Road constructionGeneral asphalt work in Cool Valley covers the jobs that do not fit neatly in a box: alley aprons, walkways, basketball pads, repairs where a utility trench was cut, and overlays that bring a tired surface back. Each one gets the same treatment: a clean edge, a sound base and hot mix rolled tight.
Asphalt paving
North County is rolling upland with the clay-heavy soils common around St. Louis. Clay takes on water, swells, then shrinks as it dries, and pavement over that movement cracks. Freeze-thaw winters widen those cracks into potholes. We fix the drainage and compact the base properly before any asphalt goes down.
A cheap bid usually gets cheap somewhere you cannot see. Ask what depth of stone goes down, how thick the asphalt is after rolling, and who fixes it if water still stands.
Typical ranges. Your Cool Valley estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Yes. We split the lot into phases, close one area at a time and keep an entrance open. For a church or school, the work gets scheduled around services and school hours when weather allows. That plan is set with you at the free estimate.
Water in the base. A patch fills the hole but leaves the soft material underneath, so traffic works it loose again within a season. The lasting fix is cutting out that section, replacing and compacting the rock, repaving it, and correcting whatever keeps sending water there.
No. Fresh asphalt in Cool Valley needs time to cure before it is sealed, typically several months and often up to a year. Sealing too early can trap oils in the pavement. After that, sealing every few years helps it resist water, sun and salt.
No. Paving a Cool Valley driveway happens on your property; trucks stage at the curb for the day and the street stays open. If an apron tie-in means a short blocked stretch at the street, we tell you which hours that falls in.
We pave all around Cool Valley, across St. Louis County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
