Asphalt work for Farmington properties

Courthouse Square sits at the center of downtown, a historic district on the National Register, and the streets around it hold some of the oldest pavement in the county. We repave driveways there and across the newer subdivisions, and we build parking lots for the businesses, churches and offices spread along Highway 32 and Columbia Street.

Highway 67 and Highway 32 run together for about seven miles between here and Leadington, and Highway 221 ends at the interchange rebuilt as a diverging diamond in 2012. That corridor carries the truck traffic, and lots off it need base depth to match. Everything we build starts with a compacted rock base and a grade that moves water.

Driveway paving in Farmington

Drives around the square are short and tight to the street, while the ones in newer subdivisions run longer with a side pad or a turnaround. Both fail first where water collects. We take out soft ground, compact rock in layers and lay hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups, with extra depth where a work truck, camper or boat trailer sits.

Parking lot paving in Farmington

Office, church and retail lots along Columbia Street and the Highway 32 corridor take delivery and trash trucks every week. Those set the base. We grade so water reaches the inlets rather than pooling at the back row, rebuild the drive aisles where trucks turn, and phase the work so an entrance stays open through the job.

Parking lot paving

Road construction & private roads

Private roads in subdivisions outside the city, church and school access drives, and the lanes serving shops and storage buildings all take heavy turns at the entrance. Those get extra base. Straight runs with sound structure can be milled and overlaid instead of rebuilt, which keeps the cost down.

General asphalt paving & repair

General paving in Farmington can be as simple as a new apron where the drive meets the street or as big as an overlay across a business lot. Either way the estimate spells out the base work, the asphalt thickness and what the finished surface should look like.

Why the base matters in Farmington

The Farmington Plain is gently rolling ground around 900 to 1,000 feet, with clayey soils over dolomite and loamy soils over sandstone. The soil survey flags low strength under vehicle traffic on several of them, correctable with suitable base material. That is exactly what we build, compacted in layers, with the grade set to shed water.

The part of the job you can see is the last two inches. Ask what is underneath, how it will be compacted, and which way the finished surface drains.

Compacted asphaltTypically 2 to 3 in. for a car drive
Stone baseTypically 4 to 8 in., compacted
Drive on itUsually 2 to 3 days, longer in heat
First sealcoatTypically 6 to 12 months after paving

Typical ranges. Your Farmington estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Farmington paving questions

Straight answers for Farmington homeowners and property managers. Anything else, call (866) 490-7680.

How long does a commercial lot take?

Most small lots run a few days, split between base work, paving and striping. Size, weather and how much has to be dug out drive the schedule. We give you a day-by-day plan with the free estimate and stage sections so you keep an entrance open.

Do you serve Park Hills, Desloge and Bonne Terre too?

Yes. We cover Farmington and the towns along Highway 67 through St. Francois County, plus Fredericktown, Bonne Terre and the rural roads between them, along with greater St. Louis. Estimates are free and you get 25% off.

Should I sealcoat my new driveway right away?

No. Fresh asphalt in Farmington 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.

What about the apron where my drive meets the street?

In Farmington that is the piece that takes the most abuse, so it gets extra attention: a firm base, a tie-in that sits flush with the road, and a shape that moves water to the ditch or gutter instead of back toward the drive.
