Asphalt work for Godfrey properties

Small businesses, farmland and housing developments all share Godfrey, the village just north of Alton. A wall of 200-foot limestone bluffs lines the Mississippi on its southwestern edge. We pave driveways and parking lots in every part of it, with a compacted rock base and hot-mix asphalt placed in lifts.

Route 67 runs through the village center, and Route 255 has its northern end there, so getting equipment to any part of the village is simple. Each job starts with how water moves on your property, then a plan for base, thickness and slope. Private roads and farm lanes on acreage are part of the work too. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.

Driveway paving in Godfrey

With both acreage and housing developments in the village, driveway work runs from long rural lanes to wide suburban drives. For a long drive, we can pave it all or phase it. For a subdivision drive, we fix sunken aprons, widen for another car and correct water that pools at the garage. Either way, we compact the base and place hot-mix asphalt, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted.

Parking lot paving in Godfrey

For a shop, office, restaurant or church lot on Godfrey Road or Homer M. Adams Parkway, we plan entrances, traffic flow and drainage before paving. The base is sized for delivery trucks, and the asphalt goes down in lifts. We can phase the work so part of the lot stays open, then seal coat after the asphalt cures.

Parking lot paving

Road construction & private roads

Housing developments and farm properties both need roads. We build and repave subdivision streets, private roads, shared drives and farm lanes with a graded, compacted base and a crown to shed water. Asphalt fits streets with daily traffic, and chip seal can work on longer lanes with light use.

General asphalt paving & repair

Sidewalk-to-driveway transitions, trail connections, subdivision patches and small pads are all part of the work around Godfrey. Small jobs still get a compacted base, clean saw-cut edges and a proper tie-in to the existing pavement.

Why the base matters in Godfrey

Near the bluffs, slopes move water fast, and it can undercut pavement edges. On flatter ground, the clay-heavy soils common around St. Louis hold water under the surface. Freeze-thaw winters then heave anything built on a wet base. We grade every job for runoff, remove soft soil and compact rock in layers.

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.

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

Godfrey paving questions

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

Can you pave a long driveway on acreage in Godfrey?

Yes. Long drives need a solid base the full length, a crown or cross slope to shed water, and firm edges. We can pave it all at once or start near the house and extend later. Your free estimate can price both options so you can choose.

Do you work near the bluffs along the Great River Road?

Yes. Route 100, the Great River Road, follows the Mississippi along the village's southern edge toward Grafton. Properties near the bluffs can have steeper drives, so we pay close attention to grade, edges and runoff. Estimates are free, and you get 25% off.

Do you pave in Godfrey in the winter?

Hot-mix asphalt needs warm air and warm ground to compact properly, and the plants serving Godfrey typically run from spring into late fall. Winter is a good time to get your estimate and book a spot for the season.

Can you widen a driveway for a second car?

Yes, widening is routine work in Godfrey. The added strip gets its own base, is tied into the existing pavement with a clean edge so the seam does not open, and is rolled with the rest so the surface reads as one driveway.
