Just west of the St. Louis city limits, this village of about twelve hundred people incorporated in 1947. Greenwood Cemetery, the historic African American burial ground founded in 1874, sits on St. Louis Avenue here and has been on the National Register since 2004. We pave driveways and parking lots in the village.
St. Louis Avenue, Kienlen and Lucas and Hunt Road carry the traffic around the neighborhood streets. The housing dates to the middle of the last century, and the drives are the age you would expect. Our work starts under the asphalt: soft subgrade out, compacted rock in, then hot mix in lifts. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.
Drives here are typically single-width, running past the house to a garage at the back of the lot. After decades, the apron at the street is usually the first thing to break, followed by cracking down the center. We rebuild the base where it has softened, tie new asphalt cleanly into the street, and place typically 2 to 3 inches compacted.
Driveway pavingChurch lots, apartment lots and small business lots along St. Louis Avenue and Lucas and Hunt Road are the usual work. We size the base for delivery trucks, plan entrances for how vehicles turn in, slope the surface to a planned drainage point and lay asphalt in lifts. Seal coating follows months later.
Parking lot pavingVillage streets, rear alleys and shared drives take trash trucks every week and fail at the unsupported edges first. We rebuild the base, reset the crown and compact firm edges so the pavement does not ravel. Settled utility cuts get cut back to sound material and rebuilt rather than patched a second time.
Road constructionPlenty of Hillsdale pavement just needs the right repair at the right time. Full-depth patches, overlays and edge rebuilds stretch the life of what you already have. When a surface is past saving, we say so and quote the rebuild instead.
Asphalt paving
Mid-county upland soils formed in loess, and the St. Louis County soil survey lists low strength and frost action as the limits for local streets, with adequate base material plus ditches and culverts as the fix. Water under asphalt through a freeze-thaw winter is what breaks it apart.
Before you sign anything, get the base depth and the compacted asphalt thickness on paper. Two bids that look far apart are often just two different pavements.
Typical ranges. Your Hillsdale estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Usually yes, on its own. Aprons take the hardest use and fail first. We saw cut the damaged section, rebuild and compact the base under it, then tie new asphalt into the existing drive and the street so the joint sheds water instead of holding it.
Yes. Those are common jobs in the mid-county villages. We size the base for delivery and service trucks, plan the entrance and parking layout around how the lot is used, and can phase the work so residents and visitors always have somewhere to park.
Most Hillsdale driveways are paved in one to two days once the base is ready, with more time if the old surface has to come out or the base needs rebuilding. You can usually walk on it the same day and drive on it after a few days, depending on the weather.
Plan on keeping cars off new asphalt for two to three days in mild weather, and longer through a hot Hillsdale summer. Fresh pavement stays soft while it cures, so turning tires on a parked car is what leaves scuff marks.
We pave all around Hillsdale, across St. Louis County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
