Steel built this city in the 1890s. Granite City grew as a company town around graniteware and steel manufacturing, with a street-grid downtown and newer subdivisions on its east side. We pave driveways and parking lots in all of it, from older grid streets to newer east-side neighborhoods.
The ground is flat American Bottom floodplain, protected by levees, so water has no slope to follow unless we build one in. Every driveway and lot we pave gets a compacted rock base, a set grade and hot-mix asphalt rolled tight. Commercial lots and industrial yards get a base built for truck traffic and turning loads.

A short driveway on an older grid street and a wide drive in a newer east-side subdivision need different plans, but both need the right slope. On flat ground, we build a gentle, steady fall away from the garage so water does not sit. Home drives typically get 2 to 3 inches of compacted hot-mix asphalt over a compacted rock base.
Driveway pavingMost retail and dining in town sits along the Nameoki Road corridor, known locally as the Nameoki Strip. For a business lot there, or an industrial yard off Route 3 or Route 203, we build the base for truck traffic, set grades so water reaches drains on flat ground, and pave in lifts. We can phase work to keep a business open.
Parking lot pavingWe build and repave access roads for industrial and commercial sites, private drives, alleys that serve garages, and subdivision streets. Heavy trucks need a deep compacted base and thicker asphalt. On flat floodplain ground, a crown and shoulders that drain are what keep water from sitting on the road.
Road constructionGeneral asphalt work in Granite City covers the jobs that do not fit neatly in a box: alley aprons, walkways, basketball pads, repairs where a utility trench was cut, and overlays that bring a tired surface back. Each one gets the same treatment: a clean edge, a sound base and hot mix rolled tight.
Asphalt paving
The city sits on the flat American Bottom floodplain along the Mississippi, protected by levees, and borders Horseshoe Lake on its southeast side. Flat ground gives water nowhere to go, and the clay-heavy soils common around St. Louis slow it further. Freeze-thaw winters then lift a wet base. We build slope into every surface and compact rock in layers.
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.

We build the slope in. Even a small, steady fall, typically around 1 to 2 percent, moves water off asphalt. We set grades carefully, shape the base to match, and direct runoff to the street, a drain or a planned low point. A well-compacted base keeps that slope from settling.
Yes. Industrial yards and truck lots get a deeper compacted base and thicker asphalt placed in lifts, sized to your loads and turning traffic. We can phase the work so operations continue. Tell us about your trucks during the free estimate, and we will size the pavement to match. You get 25% off.
No. Fresh asphalt in Granite City 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.
No. Paving a Granite City driveway happens on your property; trucks stage at the curb for the day and the street stays open. If an apron tie-in means a short blocked stretch at the street, we tell you which hours that falls in.
