Jacob Maeys put a sawmill here in 1852, the village was surveyed as Maeysville in 1856, and the post office changed the name four years later. Nearly the whole place is now listed as the Maeystown Historic District. It sits in the valley of Maeystown Creek, which reaches the Mississippi floodplain about two miles southwest.
Paving in a valley village is mostly about grade and water. We build driveways and small lots so runoff has a planned path off the surface instead of finding its own. Under the asphalt goes a compacted rock base, and a house drive typically gets 2 to 3 inches of compacted hot mix on top of it. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.
Sloped drives are common in a creek valley, and slope changes everything. Water runs fast on a steep drive, so edges and the point where it meets the road take the most abuse. We build the base deeper on the low end, shape the surface to move water to one side, and place hot mix that gets rolled while it is still hot. Two to three inches compacted is typical for a car and pickup drive.
Driveway pavingSmall lots here serve a church, a shop or a handful of visitors, and they still need real drainage and a real base. We cut the grade, compact rock to depth, and place asphalt in lifts so the surface holds a consistent slope. Gravel parking that has settled for years can sometimes be reworked into base rather than hauled off.
Parking lot pavingMaeystown Road runs from Route 3 in Waterloo through Wartburg and down to Bluff Road, and the private lanes that branch off roads like it take real weather. We grade and crown them, compact a rock base built for farm equipment, then pave or chip seal. On steep sections we pay extra attention to shoulders and to where the water leaves.
Road constructionIn a town like Maeystown, general asphalt work covers a lot of ground: shop and church lots, alley aprons, repairs along a curb line, overlays on older streets and pads for equipment. The approach stays the same: fix the base, lay the hot mix, roll it tight, finish the edges.
Asphalt paving
Much of the Monroe County upland is sinkhole plain, where loess and till cover creviced limestone, and the Illinois State Geological Survey advises looking closely at land before building on it. Down in the valley, the concern is runoff and a wet base. We check the ground, set drainage first, then build rock base in compacted 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 Maeystown estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Yes. A sloped drive needs the surface shaped so water crosses it rather than runs the full length, and the base built deeper where the weight ends up. We also look at how the drive meets the road, since that transition is usually the first spot to break up.
We pave in Maeystown, Waterloo, Valmeyer, Fults, Columbia and the rest of Monroe County, plus greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Estimates are free and you get 25% off on driveways, lots and lanes.
Sometimes. If the base under your Maeystown pavement is still solid and the surface only has shallow cracking, an overlay can work well. If the pavement is sinking, rutting or breaking into alligator cracks, the base has failed and it needs to be rebuilt first. The free estimate is where we sort that out.
Work inside your Maeystown property line usually does not need one, but a new entrance onto a city street, a county road or a state route often does. The rules differ by road, so check with the city or county first; the owner normally pulls that permit.
We pave all around Maeystown, across Monroe County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
