Highway 50 carries traffic straight through Gerald, and the town grew up along a railroad line after it was platted in 1901. We pave driveways and parking lots here, from short in-town drives off Fitzgerald Avenue to shop pads, church lots and the gravel approaches that turn to ruts every spring.
Western Franklin County is farm country, and the Gasconade county line sits about two miles west of town. That means long lanes and equipment yards as often as tidy suburban drives. We compact rock in layers, place hot-mix asphalt in lifts and grade so water leaves the surface. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.
A driveway here might be a two-car drive near the old school on West 3rd Street or a quarter-mile lane out to a farmhouse. We build both the same way underneath. Soft spots come out, rock goes in and gets compacted in layers, then hot-mix asphalt, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups. Where a grain truck turns, we build thicker.
Driveway pavingShop lots, church lots, small business lots and equipment pads all need a base sized for the heaviest thing that parks on them. We plan the entrance and the slope first, then place asphalt in lifts. A lot with a sound base under a worn surface often needs only repairs and an overlay rather than a full rebuild.
Parking lot pavingFarm lanes, field access roads and private drives take real weight during harvest. We grade, build a compacted rock base and crown the surface so water runs off both sides. Asphalt suits lanes with steady traffic, and chip seal can work on longer runs with lighter use. Entrances off Highway 50 get extra base.
Road constructionAround Gerald we see plenty of pavement that has been patched over and over. Sometimes one more patch is the right call. Sometimes a mill-and-overlay or a rebuild saves money over the next ten years. We will lay out both options so you can choose.
Asphalt paving
Cherty red clay over dolomite is common across this part of the Ozark foothills, and clay holds water. Water under pavement plus freeze-thaw winters is what cracks a surface apart. We remove soft soil, compact rock in layers and set the grade so runoff leaves fast instead of sitting.
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 Gerald estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Yes. A long lane needs a solid base its full length, a crown to shed water and firm edges where trucks run off the side. We can pave the whole run at once or start near the house and extend later. The free estimate can cover both options.
Yes. We serve Gerald, Rosebud, Leslie, Owensville and the rest of western Franklin County, along with greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Highway 50 makes the run straightforward. Estimates are free, and you get 25% off.
Hot-mix asphalt needs warm air and warm ground to compact properly, and the plants serving Gerald typically run from spring into late fall. Winter is a good time to get your estimate and book a spot for the season.
Both. Patching a failed section, filling cracks before winter and rebuilding an apron are regular work in Gerald. We will tell you honestly when patching is throwing good money after bad.
