Main routes: I-55, Highway 61-67, and Highway M
Two I-55 exits serve this community: 185 at Highway M and 186 at Main Street. Mastodon State Historic Site and its 431 acres protecting the Kimmswick Bone Bed sit here as well. We pave driveways and parking lots between the interstate, Highway 61-67 and the river along the eastern edge.
The community is unincorporated and wraps around the small city of Kimmswick, so road and permit matters usually run through Jefferson County. Terrain here runs from bluff-side ridges to low ground near the Mississippi. We build the base for what the ground actually is, then place hot mix in lifts. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.
Subdivision drives here sit alongside acreage lanes that run a few hundred feet off a county road. Both fail the same way when water gets underneath. We remove soft material, compact rock in layers, shape the slope so runoff leaves the surface and place hot mix typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups.
Driveway pavingLots near the I-55 exits take trucks as well as cars, so entrances get planned for the turning radius and the base gets sized for the heaviest load. Shop, church, restaurant and small office lots along Main Street and Highway M get the same sequence: base, grade, asphalt in lifts, then striping once cured.
Parking lot pavingPrivate roads, subdivision streets and acreage lanes in this corner of Jefferson County cross real grade changes. We regrade, build a compacted rock base and crown the surface so runoff has somewhere to go. Entrances off Highway 61-67 or Highway M get extra base, because turning trucks concentrate load at the edge.
Road constructionBeyond driveways and lots, we handle the everyday asphalt work around Imperial: overlays on sound pavement, full-depth patches where the base gave out, walking paths, sport courts and shop aprons. You get a straight answer on whether to repair or replace.
Asphalt paving
Ridges near the Mississippi carry thick loess, and slopes back from the river hold cherty red clay over limestone. Clay holds water, loess erodes when runoff concentrates, and freeze-thaw winters exploit either one. We set the grade to move water off the pavement, 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.
Typical ranges. Your Imperial estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

No. Imperial is unincorporated and surrounds the small city of Kimmswick, so most road and permit matters go through Jefferson County rather than a city hall. We work both, along with Arnold, Barnhart and Pevely. Estimates are free, and you get 25% off.
Yes. Buses and loaded trucks need a deeper compacted base and thicker asphalt than a car lot, usually in more than one lift, plus entrances shaped for a wide turn. We ask what uses the lot and where it turns before sizing the pavement.
No. Fresh asphalt in Imperial 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.
Unsupported edges. When the ground beside a Imperial driveway settles or gets driven on, the asphalt has nothing holding it up and breaks off. Rebuilding the edge and backfilling it properly is what stops it.
We pave all around Imperial, across Jefferson County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
