Hot-mix asphalt, laid right in McKittrick

The Katy Trail's trailhead here sits at mile marker 100.8 with parking, and the McKittrick Farmers Mercantile has been on the National Register since 2010. A town this size still needs lots that handle trail traffic and trucks. Driveways and parking areas are what we build, starting with the ground under them.

Highway 19 runs along the west side and crosses the Missouri River about two miles south to Hermann, with Highway 94 meeting it just south of town. The Loutre River forms the western border. Low ground and river bottom are part of the picture, so we plan drainage first and size base to it. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.

Driveway paving in McKittrick

Drives here range from short approaches off Main Street to longer lanes out on the bottom ground and the hills above it. Bottom ground stays wet longer, so we go deeper on base and get the grade right before anything else. Hot mix runs typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups, thicker where a truck or a trailer turns.

Parking lot paving in McKittrick

Trailhead parking, a shop lot or a church lot in a town this size still needs a base sized for the delivery truck and a surface that sheds water. We plan the entrance and the turning room, build the rock base, then pave in lifts. Compacted millings work for overflow and for gravel areas that need firming up.

Parking lot paving

Road construction & private roads

Farm lanes, private roads and river-bottom access drives take equipment and loaded trucks in season. We crown the surface, build a deep compacted rock base, firm the shoulders, and set culverts at every crossing. Asphalt where the traffic justifies it, chip seal on lighter runs out in the fields.

General asphalt paving & repair

General paving in McKittrick 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.

What's under a McKittrick driveway

River bottom near the Loutre and the Missouri holds water, and Rhineland moving its houses uphill after the 1993 flood shows what this ground can do. On the upland flats, Montgomery County claypan soils drain very slowly and perch water in winter and spring. Either way, subgrade drainage decides the outcome.

Before you sign anything, get the base depth and the compacted asphalt thickness on paper. Two bids that look far apart are often just two different pavements.

Compacted asphaltTypically 2 to 3 in. for a car drive
Stone baseTypically 4 to 8 in., compacted
Drive on itUsually 2 to 3 days, longer in heat
First sealcoatTypically 6 to 12 months after paving

Typical ranges. Your McKittrick estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

McKittrick paving questions

Straight answers for McKittrick homeowners and property managers. Anything else, call (866) 490-7680.

Does river-bottom ground need a deeper base?

Usually yes. Bottom ground holds moisture, so the subgrade stays soft longer and needs more compacted rock under the asphalt, plus ditching or culverts that carry water away. We check how the site drains through a wet season before pricing the base depth.

Can you pave a parking area for trail users?

Yes. A trailhead lot takes cars, a few trucks and the occasional bus or trailer, so the base gets sized for the heaviest of those. We plan the entrance, the turning room and the striping, then place the asphalt in lifts over compacted rock.

What goes into the price of paving in McKittrick?

On a McKittrick 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.

What about the apron where my drive meets the street?

In McKittrick 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.
