More than ten lakes and reservoirs sit in the valleys of Bee Run and Primrose Creek, dammed and draining toward the Big River. Wooded, rolling and gated, with an elected board of trustees running things. Driveways and parking areas are the steady work here, and every one of them has to handle hillside runoff.
The community lies northwest of Highway 67, about six miles north of Bonne Terre, right up against the Jefferson County line. Roads inside the gates are private, which changes who decides and who schedules. We build base first, then place hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for a residential drive.

Wooded lots on a grade give you two problems: water coming down the hill and shade that keeps the surface damp. We shape the drive to shed runoff sideways, cut the ditch or set the culvert where it crosses, and compact rock in layers before paving. Hot mix runs typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups, thicker where a boat trailer turns.
Driveway pavingCommon areas, a clubhouse, a boat ramp and the church or shop lots nearby all need a base sized for trucks and trailers. We plan the entrance, slope the surface to a planned low point and place asphalt in lifts. Millings compacted over a prepared base make a practical surface for overflow and trailer parking.
Parking lot pavingPrivate roads inside a gated community carry everything: residents, contractors, trash trucks and trailers, over hills and around water. We grade, rebuild the rock base where it has failed, crown the surface, and set ditching and culverts so storms drain. Chip seal works on lower-traffic loops, with asphalt on the main runs.
Road constructionFarm yards, equipment pads, church lots and long country drives around Lake Timberline each carry different loads. We size the base and the asphalt to the traffic that will actually use it, then compact every layer so it stays put.
Asphalt paving
The lakes here are reservoirs built in creek valleys, so this ground moves water constantly. St. Francois County soils run thin over igneous rock on the knobs and red cherty clay on the dissected hills, and NRCS notes low strength for vehicle traffic on several soils, correctable with suitable base. Freeze-thaw winters do the rest.
Bids are only comparable when they spell out the same things: base depth, compacted thickness, how edges are finished, and where water is meant to go. Ask for those before you pick a number.
Typical ranges. Your Lake Timberline estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

The community is run by an elected board of trustees, so shared road work normally goes through that board rather than a city. We can put the scope, the phasing and the access plan in writing so the board has something concrete to review before anything starts.
Usually yes. We check the gate width, the turning room and any weight limits on culverts and small bridges before scheduling. If a truck cannot make a turn, we plan staging outside and haul in smaller loads. That gets sorted during the free estimate.
No. Fresh asphalt in Lake Timberline 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.
It can, but it has to be built for that load. On Lake Timberline properties, heavy equipment needs a deeper base and a thicker mat than a car driveway. Tell us what actually drives on it, including grain trucks and trailers, and the estimate is sized to that.
We pave all around Lake Timberline, across St. Francois County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
