From the riverfront park here, downtown St. Louis and the Arch are straight across the water. Three bridges make the crossing, three interstates run through the city, and a lot of freight moves over local pavement as a result. We pave driveways and parking lots on both the residential streets and the commercial and industrial ground that takes that traffic.
The whole city sits on the American Bottom, the Mississippi floodplain, which is deep river-laid clay, silt, sand and gravel behind the levee and drainage canal system. Soft subgrade is the condition here, not the exception. We proof it, dig out what will not hold, compact rock in layers and roll hot-mix asphalt dense. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.
Residential drives on floodplain ground need the base done properly, because the soil underneath does not do them any favors. We remove topsoil and soft material, build and compact a rock base in lifts, and set the fall away from the house and out to the street. Hot-mix asphalt is typically placed 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups, with a heavier apron where the drive meets the curb.
Driveway pavingLots along State Street, Missouri Avenue and St. Clair Avenue, church and community lots, and yards near the interstates all take different loads. Truck lanes, entrances and dumpster pads get a deeper base and more asphalt than parking stalls. We grade every lot to a defined outlet, because standing water on this ground works its way down into the subgrade fast.
Parking lot pavingPrivate roads, access drives into warehouse and industrial property, and the lanes around loading areas need the heaviest sections we build. Loaded trucks turning at low speed tear up a thin surface. We build deeper base along those paths, crown the surface and keep the shoulders and edges shaped so the pavement does not break away at the sides.
Road constructionNot every job is a full rebuild. On older East St. Louis 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.
Asphalt paving
The American Bottom is deep alluvial soil, largely protected from the river by levees and drainage canals, and it holds moisture well below the surface. Pavement built on it needs a base that spreads load rather than resting on soft ground. We proof the subgrade, undercut and replace what fails, compact rock in lifts, and grade so water clears the surface.
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 East St. Louis estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Yes. Alluvial ground can be soft and variable, so we proof the subgrade before building and undercut the areas that will not carry weight. The rock base then goes in deeper than it would on firm upland, especially under truck paths, so the load spreads instead of punching through.
Yes. Road construction and heavy commercial work are core services. Truck yards need a thicker compacted base, more asphalt along travel and turning paths, and drainage planned before anything is placed. We size all three to the equipment that will actually use the surface.
Typically a compacted crushed-stone base several inches deep on firm soil, with soft spots dug out first, and that holds for any East St. Louis driveway. On clay soils that hold water, a thicker base and good slope matter even more. The estimate states the base depth so there are no surprises.
Yes. We set the finished grade at the garage so water runs away from the building rather than toward it, which on older East St. Louis homes is often the real reason the slab edge keeps taking on water.
We pave all around East St. Louis, across St. Clair County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
