Main routes: I-270 and Manchester Road
About 2.4 miles of Manchester Road run through this city, and the Missouri General Assembly recognizes that stretch as part of the original Route 66. The lots along it stay busy, and the driveways on the streets behind them are mostly long, curved and shaded. We handle both: home drives on Dougherty Ferry and Des Peres Road, and commercial lots that cannot close for a week.
The I-270 exit at Manchester opened in 1965 and started the shift from greenhouses and farmland to what is there now, so plenty of the pavement in between is past its service life. We check the base before quoting an overlay, because a smooth new surface over a failed base does not last. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate and 25% off.
Drives here often run long from the street, curve around mature trees and hold more than two cars. Roots and shade are part of the job. Shade keeps the surface damp and slows curing, and roots lift edges. We cut out the failed sections, compact the rock base, and place hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and light trucks, with a clean edge that stays supported.
Driveway pavingRetail and office lots off Manchester Road and Ballas Road run on delivery schedules. We phase the work, keep an entrance open and time the heavy pours around your traffic. Base depth gets set by the trucks, not the cars. Grade moves water to the inlets, and sound sections get repairs and seal coating instead of full replacement.
Parking lot pavingPrivate drives shared by several homes, church and school access lanes, and the service roads behind a commercial building all take truck turns in tight spaces. Those turns need extra base. We rebuild them first, then overlay the straight runs where the structure underneath is still good.
Road constructionGeneral asphalt work in Des Peres 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
Deer Creek and Two Mile Creek, both tributaries of the River des Peres, run through the city, so low ground here really is low. St. Louis County upland soils formed in loess and need a solid base plus ditches and culverts to resist low strength and frost action. We grade for runoff and compact the rock in layers.
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 Des Peres estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

They can, over time. We cut and remove roots inside the driveway footprint, add base depth where the ground is soft, and set the edge so it stays supported. Large roots close to the surface may call for a different alignment, and we flag that during the free estimate.
Cars can usually get on after a day or two once the asphalt has cooled and set, but fresh asphalt needs longer before heavy trucks, dumpsters and trailer jacks. We give you the timing for your job and stage the work so the business keeps running.
Yes. We work in Des Peres 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.
Usually yes. Tight drives around Des Peres are normal work: we size the equipment to the access, hand-work the pinch points along fences and garages, and roll every foot of it. If a spot truly cannot be machine-paved, we tell you before you sign anything.
