The Apple Butter Festival each October typically draws more than 100,000 people to a town of a couple hundred, and every one of them parks somewhere. That is real load on small lots and gravel overflow areas. We pave parking lots and driveways in Kimmswick, and we size the base to the traffic that actually shows up.
Restoration of the old buildings started in 1970, so the historic district is a mix of narrow lots, shared access and tight turns. We plan entrances and drainage before anything gets paved. For homes, residential asphalt is typically 2 to 3 inches compacted over a rock base. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.
Homes near the historic district sit on small lots with short drives, and the ones outside the old grid run longer off the county roads. Either way we deal with the ground first: cut out soft spots, compact rock in layers, then place hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups. Where a drive meets an old stone or concrete apron, we set the edge so water keeps moving.
Driveway pavingShops and restaurants here carry steady weekend traffic plus two festival surges a year, one in June and one in October. A lot built for that needs a base sized for delivery trucks, a surface that sheds water fast, and striping that fits the turns. Older lots with sound base often need only patching, an overlay or seal coating.
Parking lot pavingPrivate drives, alleys and shared access lanes are common in a town this old and this tight. We grade, build a compacted rock base and crown the surface so water runs off rather than standing at a doorway. Where a lane serves several buildings, we plan the whole thing around the heaviest truck that uses it.
Road constructionGeneral paving in Kimmswick can be as simple as a new apron where the drive meets the street or as big as an overlay across a business lot. Either way the estimate spells out the base work, the asphalt thickness and what the finished surface should look like.
Asphalt paving
A historic bridge over Rock Creek sits at the edge of town and the Mississippi is right there, so low ground and runoff shape every job. Jefferson County ridges carry thick loess and cherty red clay over limestone. Add freeze-thaw winters and standing water is what breaks pavement. We grade to drain and compact the base 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.
Typical ranges. Your Kimmswick estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Yes. An overflow or event lot needs a base sized for the heaviest vehicle, not the average one, plus a surface that drains quickly when several hundred cars sit on it. We look at entrances, turning room and where water goes, then size the pavement in the free estimate.
Yes. Tight lots, shared drives and narrow alleys are normal work. We plan access and staging first so the crew can reach the area, then handle the base, edges and drainage. Small jobs get the same base work as large ones. Estimates are free and you get 25% off.
On a Kimmswick 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.
In Kimmswick that is the piece that takes the most abuse, so it gets extra attention: a firm base, a tie-in that sits flush with the road, and a shape that moves water to the ditch or gutter instead of back toward the drive.
We pave all around Kimmswick, across Jefferson County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
