Asphalt work for Gasconade properties

Where the Gasconade River meets the Missouri, this small city has sat since it was platted in 1857, and it served as the county's first seat of government. Driveways and parking lots are the bulk of our work in a place this size: home drives on the town streets, church and shop lots, and the pads behind a working building.

Highway 100 crosses the river near its mouth right at the town, and the ground on either side of that crossing behaves very differently. Bottomland stays wet and soft, while the hills above shed water fast. We build the base and set the grade to match the site instead of using one recipe.

Driveway paving in Gasconade

A drive here may sit on river bottom ground or up on the higher ground above, and that changes the build. Bottomland needs more soft material removed and a thicker compacted rock base. Hillside drives need the grade broken so water leaves sideways. Either way, hot mix goes down typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups, with more where a truck parks.

Parking lot paving in Gasconade

Church lots, a small business lot or a boat and equipment yard near the water all take a loaded truck or trailer now and then, and that sets the base. We put the entrance where a trailer can swing in off Highway 100, slope the lot so water leaves quickly, and keep the edges supported against gravel.

Road construction & private roads

Farm lanes, private drives shared by a few properties and the access roads down toward the river all last longer with a crown, compacted rock beneath and water carried away to a ditch. Chip seal suits a long lane with light traffic. Hot mix suits a lane that runs trucks or sees daily driving.

General asphalt paving & repair

General paving in Gasconade 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.

What's under a Gasconade driveway

River bottom ground at the mouth of a major river holds water, and the Ozark hills to the south run to thin soils with chert in the uplands. Freeze-thaw winters lift anything that stays wet underneath. We remove soft material, compact rock in layers and grade every surface so runoff leaves rather than soaking in at the edges.

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.

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

Gasconade paving questions

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

Does being near two rivers change how you build?

It changes the base. Ground near a confluence holds water longer, so we dig deeper for soft material, add rock depth and compact in layers. The surface then gets graded to move water off fast. We check how your site drains during the free estimate.

Do you work over toward Hermann and Rhineland?

Yes. We pave driveways, lots and lanes along Highway 100 and Highway 19 through this part of Gasconade County, including Hermann, Rhineland and McKittrick, plus greater St. Louis. Estimates are free and you get 25% off.

What goes into the price of paving in Gasconade?

On a Gasconade job the price comes down to size, how much base work is needed, the asphalt thickness, whether old pavement has to come out, drainage fixes and how easily trucks can reach the work. Your written estimate lists each of those so you can compare it with other bids line by line.

What about the apron where my drive meets the street?

In Gasconade 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.
