Main routes: I-44, Highway 100, and Highway MM
Exit 253 off I-44 puts you at Gray Summit, where Highway 100 heads east toward St. Louis and northwest about eleven miles to Washington. We pave driveways and parking lots across the area, from acreage drives on the county roads to lots that take truck traffic off the interstate.
Shaw Nature Reserve, about 2,400 acres run by the Missouri Botanical Garden, sits here as well, and from 1926 to 1933 Route 66 followed what is now Highway 100 east of town. The community is unincorporated, so road and permit questions go through Franklin County rather than a city hall. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.
Acreage drives out here can run several hundred feet from a county road to a house set back in the trees. Those need a base built for the whole length and a crown that sheds water, because a rutted low spot becomes a pothole in one winter. For cars and pickups we place hot-mix asphalt typically 2 to 3 inches compacted over rock.
Driveway pavingNear an interstate exit, lots see trucks as well as cars. We size the base for the heaviest vehicle, plan entrances so semis can turn without riding over the edge, and lay asphalt in lifts. Church, shop and small business lots along Highway 100 get the same treatment at a scale that fits them.
Parking lot pavingPrivate roads, farm lanes and shared access drives off Highway MM and the county roads all need grading, a compacted rock base and a crown. Asphalt suits lanes with daily traffic, and chip seal can work on longer runs with lighter use. Entrances off Highway 100 get extra base, since turning trucks break edges first.
Road constructionAround Gray Summit 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
This is the northern edge of the Ozarks, where cherty red clay over dolomite is common and karst features like sinkholes and springs show up. Clay holds water, and a wet base under freeze-thaw winters is what destroys pavement. We remove soft soil, compact rock in layers and grade so runoff leaves.
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 Gray Summit estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Gray Summit is unincorporated, so road and permit matters go through Franklin County rather than a city hall. What applies depends on whether the work touches a county right of way. We can tell you what your property needs during the free estimate.
Yes. Truck lots need a deeper compacted base and thicker asphalt than a car lot, usually placed in more than one lift, plus entrances shaped for the turning radius. We ask what vehicles use the lot and how they move through it before pricing the work.
On a Gray Summit 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.
Both. Patching a failed section, filling cracks before winter and rebuilding an apron are regular work in Gray Summit. We will tell you honestly when patching is throwing good money after bad.
We pave all around Gray Summit, across Franklin County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
