Blacktop that holds up in Florissant

Roughly 18,000 houses went up here between 1947 and 1980, so a very large share of the driveways in the largest city in St. Louis County are mid-century and sitting on thin bases. We replace and repair them. We also pave parking lots for the churches, schools, offices and shops spread along Lindbergh, New Halls Ferry and Dunn roads.

Old Town holds properties dating from 1790 to 1940, including the Old St. Ferdinand Shrine with its 1821 church, and the drives on those blocks are narrow and tight. Newer subdivisions to the north run wider with side pads. We size base and asphalt to the property, not to a formula. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate and 25% off.

Driveway paving in Florissant

A subdivision drive from the 1950s or 1960s is usually a thin mat of asphalt over very little rock, and it fails at the apron, along the edges and wherever water pools by the garage. We dig out what has failed, compact rock in layers and place hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups. A wider pad for a second vehicle gets the same base work underneath.

Parking lot paving in Florissant

Church, school and office lots across the city take buses, delivery trucks and trash trucks on top of daily cars. Those vehicles set base depth and decide where the heavy sections go. We grade so water reaches the inlets instead of standing in the back row, rebuild the drive aisles at the turns, and stage the work to keep an entrance open.

Road construction & private roads

MoDOT maintains Dunn Road, North Lindbergh, New Halls Ferry Road and Pershall Road inside the city, so most of our road work here is private: subdivision streets, church and school drives, apartment lanes and service roads. Those wear at the entrances and the turns first, and that is where extra base goes.

General asphalt paving & repair

Not every job is a full rebuild. On older Florissant 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.

Why the base matters in Florissant

Ground toward the northwestern boundary drops to the Missouri River, where the city runs the 108-acre Sunset Park, while most of the city is rolling loess upland. The county soil survey calls for adequate base plus ditches and culverts against low strength and frost action. We grade for runoff and compact rock in layers.

Bids are only comparable when they spell out the same things: base depth, compacted thickness, how edges are finished, and where water is meant to go. Ask for those before you pick a number.

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

Florissant paving questions

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

Our subdivision streets are private. Can you repave them?

Yes. Private streets and shared drives are regular work for us. We check the base along the wheel paths, rebuild the failed sections, then mill and overlay the rest. Work gets staged so residents keep a way in and out every day.

Can an old driveway be overlaid instead of replaced?

Sometimes. An overlay works when the base is still solid and the cracking is limited. If the cracks form a web pattern or the surface moves underfoot, the base has failed and an overlay will crack through in a year or two. We check before recommending either.

Should I sealcoat my new driveway right away?

No. Fresh asphalt in Florissant 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.

Can you match the drive to my garage floor height?

Yes. We set the finished grade at the garage so water runs away from the building rather than toward it, which on older Florissant homes is often the real reason the slab edge keeps taking on water.
