Driveway and private street asphalt paving for a one-street village off Clayton Road.

One street makes up this entire village, on the south side of Clayton Road just west of I-270, and it carries the same name as the village itself. Incorporated in 1946 and surrounded by Town and Country, it is residential end to end, with no commercial frontage at all.
So the paving work is driveways and the private street they connect to. We rebuild base, pave in hot-mix asphalt and set the grade so water leaves the surface instead of sitting at a garage apron. On a single shared street, phasing matters, because residents need a way in and out throughout. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate and 25% off.
West County drives on larger lots run long and often curve, shaded by mature trees that keep asphalt damp and slow drying after rain. We rebuild soft base, compact rock in layers and pitch the surface so runoff crosses to the side instead of running the length of the drive. A home drive typically takes 2 to 3 inches of compacted hot mix over compacted rock.
Driveway pavingLot work in a village this small means parking pads, guest parking and turnarounds rather than commercial lots. The build is the same either way: base sized for the heaviest vehicle that will use it, a surface pitched toward a planned outlet, and edges supported so they do not break away where tires leave the pavement.
Parking lot pavingA private street belongs to the residents, so the standard is theirs to set. We mill and overlay where the base is sound, dig out and rebuild the sections that are not, and stage the work so no home gets cut off. The entrance at Clayton Road gets extra base, since that is where every vehicle turns.
Road constructionGeneral asphalt paving in Country Life Acres means matching the fix to the problem. Surface cracks on a firm base call for an overlay. Soft, sinking spots call for digging out and rebuilding the base first. We show you the difference on the walk-through.
Asphalt paving
West County sits on rolling upland with the clay-heavy soils common around St. Louis. Clay swells when wet and shrinks when dry, and pavement over that movement cracks. Shade keeps the ground damp longer, and freeze-thaw winters lift trapped water. Drainage and compaction decide how long a surface lasts.
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.

The residents or their association, since a private street is not maintained by a public agency. We put together an estimate that spells out sections, phasing and cost so neighbors can review it together. Looking at the street and pricing the work costs nothing.
Yes. We work in sections, keep at least one route open, and time the stages so driveways are reachable each evening. Fresh hot mix needs a little time before vehicles drive on it, and we tell you how long based on the weather that day.

We keep trucks on the drive where we can and flag anything close to the work on your Country Life Acres property. Mark sprinkler heads and invisible fence lines before we start, and we will work around them. Minor lawn scuffing along the edge is normal and easy to repair.
