Main routes: Route 161
German immigrants settled here in 1833 and called the place Hanover first. Nearly two centuries later the village still runs on the same pattern of home lots, church property and farm ground at the edges, and that is the mix we pave: driveways, parking lots, shop pads and lanes.
Route 161 runs along the southern edge of the village, nine miles west to New Baden and about twenty-two east to Centralia. Wherever you sit off it, the work is the same underneath. Soft ground out, rock base compacted in layers, grade set to shed water, hot mix placed and rolled dense. Free estimates, 25% off, and a straight answer about what your drive actually needs.

Driveways in the village are short and close to the neighbors, so the edges and the joint at the street need to be clean. Places outside town run longer and carry heavier traffic. We compact rock in layers under both, set a cross slope that moves water to the side, and place hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and light trucks.
Driveway pavingChurch and parish lots, the parking at a hall, shop yards and equipment pads make up most of the commercial work here. Those surfaces fill all at once and take truck weight at the entrance. We size the base for the heaviest loads, grade the lot to a low point away from buildings and keep the entrance off Route 161 clean.
Parking lot pavingFarm lanes and private drives running out to the fields are ordinary work. A crowned surface over a compacted base keeps water out of the wheel paths and keeps the lane usable in the spring. For a long lane with light traffic, chip seal is a lower-cost surface that still sheds water.
Road constructionFarm yards, equipment pads, church lots and long country drives around Germantown each carry different loads. We size the base and the asphalt to the traffic that will actually use it, then compact every layer so it stays put.
Asphalt paving
Clinton County ground here is farm soil that holds water, and the winters run through freeze and thaw repeatedly. Water that soaks under an edge lifts it when it freezes, then the surface cracks along the lift line. We grade for runoff, compact the base and keep the shoulders supported so the edges do not break down.
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.
Typical ranges. Your Germantown estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Yes. We cut a clean edge, build the base up to the right height and place the asphalt so it meets the concrete flush. A joint between the two materials is normal and gets sealed. Done right, that seam sheds water instead of trapping it.
Yes. We work across Clinton County, including Breese, Albers, Bartelso, Aviston and Damiansville, and through greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.
Hot-mix asphalt needs warm air and warm ground to compact properly, and the plants serving Germantown typically run from spring into late fall. Winter is a good time to get your estimate and book a spot for the season.
It can, but it has to be built for that load. On Germantown properties, heavy equipment needs a deeper base and a thicker mat than a car driveway. Tell us what actually drives on it, including grain trucks and trailers, and the estimate is sized to that.
We pave all around Germantown, across Clinton County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
