Main routes: Manchester Road
About 33,000 vehicles a day pass through the Big Bend and Manchester intersection, according to the city, and the downtown built around Manchester Road, Sutton Avenue and Big Bend Boulevard absorbs all of it. Business parking lots carry that load, and the residential streets behind them hold drives that have been there a long while.
The historic residential areas went up mostly between 1900 and 1910, so lots are narrow, drives are tight and aprons are old. We rebuild from the subgrade up when that is what a drive needs, and resurface when it does not. Residential asphalt is typically 2 to 3 inches compacted over rock.

A narrow drive between two century-old houses leaves no room for error on edges or grade. We look at the apron, the low corner and any tree roots before quoting. Then soft subgrade comes out, rock gets compacted in layers, and hot mix goes down, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups, with edges built to stand on their own.
Driveway pavingShops, restaurants and offices downtown run small lots that see constant turnover plus delivery trucks in tight quarters. We plan entrances and turning room first, size the base to the truck, then pave in lifts. Older lots with sound base are usually candidates for crack repair, patching, an overlay and seal coating.
Parking lot pavingAlleys, rear access lanes and shared drives behind the storefronts are steady work in an inner-ring suburb. We grade, rebuild the rock base where it has pumped out, crown the surface and pave to the traffic. Where a lane meets Hanley Road or Sutton Avenue, the entrance gets extra base for turning trucks.
Road constructionGeneral asphalt work in Maplewood covers the jobs that do not fit neatly in a box: alley aprons, walkways, basketball pads, repairs where a utility trench was cut, and overlays that bring a tired surface back. Each one gets the same treatment: a clean edge, a sound base and hot mix rolled tight.
Asphalt paving
I-44 passes just south of the city limits near Deer Creek, and low ground in that direction stays wetter. County upland soils formed largely in loess, and the soil survey says local streets on many of them need adequate base plus ditches and culverts for low strength and frost action. We fix drainage before laying anything.
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 Maplewood estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Yes. Tight city drives get smaller equipment and more hand work at the edges and the apron. The base work does not change: soft ground out, rock compacted in layers, then asphalt. We walk the access with you during the free estimate and plan around it.
If the base is sound and the problems are surface cracking or a few potholes, an overlay over prepared and patched areas works well and costs less than a rebuild. If sections rock underfoot or hold water, the base has failed. We tell you which one you have.
Most Maplewood 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.
Yes. Shared drives and alley aprons in Maplewood get the same treatment as any other job: a firm base, a clean saw-cut edge where new meets old, and a surface shaped to move water. When a drive is shared, it helps if every owner sees the estimate.
