Paving Fenton from the base up

Olde Towne covers the original eight square blocks laid out in 1818 near the Meramec River, and the city has grown out from there into a large commercial and industrial district, including the old Chrysler plant site now used as a logistics park. Driveways and parking lots are both steady work here, and an industrial lot takes a very different build than a subdivision drive.

Record Meramec floodwaters reached the city in 2017, and USGS publishes flood-inundation maps for the river here, so low-lying pavement gets designed to drain and dry out. Higher ground off Smizer Mill and Larkin Williams roads has a different problem: slope. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate and 25% off.

Driveway paving in Fenton

Subdivision drives off Bowles Avenue and Smizer Mill Road are usually sloped, with a turn into the garage that collects water. We break the grade so runoff sheds sideways, rebuild the base where it has softened, and place hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and light trucks. Aprons at the street get rebuilt rather than patched over.

Parking lot paving in Fenton

Warehouse and logistics lots carry loaded semis, and that load sets everything: base depth, asphalt thickness and where the heavy sections go. We build truck aprons and dock approaches thicker than the car parking, grade so water leaves quickly, and phase the work so trailers keep moving through the site.

Road construction & private roads

Service roads through an industrial park, private subdivision streets and church or park access drives all wear first at the turns and the truck entrances. We rebuild those areas with extra base and overlay the straight runs where the structure is still carrying. Drainage gets checked at every low point before we pave.

General asphalt paving & repair

General asphalt paving in Fenton 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.

Ground, water and winter in Fenton

Meramec valley bottomland here stays wetter and softer than the hills above it, and both sit on ground where the county soil survey calls for adequate base plus ditches and culverts against low strength and frost action. We remove what will not compact, build rock in layers and grade so water never stands on the surface.

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 Fenton estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Fenton paving questions

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

Can a lot handle loaded semis?

Yes, when it is built for them. Semi traffic needs a deeper compacted rock base and more asphalt than car parking, especially at dock approaches and turning areas. We ask about your truck counts and trailer movements, then size the sections during the free estimate.

Does flooding ruin an asphalt lot?

Not automatically. Asphalt on a well-drained compacted base that sheds water off the surface usually comes back fine. The damage shows up where water gets underneath and stays. We build the base and the edges so the lot drains rather than holds.

How long does a new asphalt driveway take in Fenton?

Most Fenton driveways are paved in one to two days once the base is ready, with more time if the old surface has to come out or the base needs rebuilding. You can usually walk on it the same day and drive on it after a few days, depending on the weather.

Will paving damage my lawn or sprinkler heads?

We keep trucks on the drive where we can and flag anything close to the work on your Fenton 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.
