Main routes: Highway O
Driveways and parking lots are the bulk of the work here: home drives off Highway O, church and shop lots, and yard pads that need a real surface instead of loose rock. The village started in the 1850s as a lead-mining settlement on the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Railway, got a post office in 1858 and incorporated in 1905.
The old Missouri Pacific line between St. Louis and Texarkana still runs through, and Potosi sits just up the road. Washington County is narrow ridges and steep rocky slopes, so grade and drainage decide how long a surface lasts. Every job gets soft material removed, rock compacted in layers and hot mix rolled to a dense finish. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.
A drive on a ridge or a side slope has to shed water sideways, not carry it down the middle. We set the crown and cross slope first, build a compacted rock base over firm ground, then place hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups. Where a drive meets Highway O or a county road, the apron gets extra base, because that is where weight concentrates.
Driveway pavingChurch lots, small business lots and shop yards around the village get a base sized to what parks on them and a grade that moves water to a ditch or inlet. Older lots that are still solid usually need crack filling, patching and seal coating rather than a rebuild. Millings make a practical surface for a yard or an overflow area.
Parking lot pavingPrivate roads serving a handful of homes, long shared drives and access lanes back to outbuildings are all regular work. A crowned surface over compacted rock keeps water out of the wheel paths. Turnarounds and steep sections get built heavier, since that is where a surface takes the most push from tires.
Road constructionA lot of rural pavement near Mineral Point fails at the edges, where water gets under the asphalt and tires break the shoulder down. Overlays, edge rebuilds and better drainage are often the fix. When the base is gone, we rebuild it before we pave.
Asphalt paving
Rocky Ozark ground drains fast in some spots and holds water in the clay pockets between them. That difference is why a driveway can look fine at one end and sink at the other. We dig out the soft places, compact the base in layers, and shape ditches so winter freeze and thaw has less water to work with.
When you compare bids, ask each contractor for three numbers in writing: the compacted asphalt thickness, the base depth, and what happens to the water. Those three decide how long the surface lasts.
Typical ranges. Your Mineral Point estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Usually yes. Steep drives need a well compacted base, careful hand work at the transitions and attention to where water runs during a storm. Very steep sections can be rolled and finished so they are not slick. We walk the grade with you before quoting, so there are no surprises.
Yes. We cover Mineral Point, Potosi, Irondale and the rest of Washington County, plus greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Driveways, lots, private roads and farm lanes are all regular work. The estimate is free and you get 25% off.
On a Mineral Point 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.
Usually yes, and it is a common question on Mineral Point lanes. We plan the approach before the day of paving, and building a turnaround into the job often costs less than you would expect while making the drive far more usable.
We pave all around Mineral Point, across Washington County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
