Main routes: Route 4 and Route 138
Mount Clare sits right against Benld, about 2 miles south of Gillespie, with Route 4 running along its east side. Driveways come first for us here, then parking areas for shops, churches and homes with more vehicles than garage space. A gravel drive that ruts every spring or a cracked one that holds water is fixable, and it starts with the base.
Big Branch, a tributary of Cahokia Creek, starts in the village, so water has somewhere to go if you give it a path. We grade every driveway and lot so runoff leaves the pavement, compact a solid rock base, and place hot-mix asphalt rolled tight at the edges. Estimates are free, and you get 25% off. Call (866) 490-7680 to get on the schedule.
If your drive is narrow, cracked concrete strips or plain gravel, we can tear out and replace it, widen it for a second car, or pave over a sound gravel base once we check it. Home driveways typically get 2 to 3 inches of compacted asphalt over compacted rock. If you park a camper or work truck, we build that area thicker. The apron at the street gets a clean tie-in so it does not crack at the joint.
Driveway pavingFor a shop, church or small business lot off Route 4 or Route 138, we build the base for the heaviest vehicle that uses it and lay out the surface so water moves to the edges instead of pooling. We can pave a new lot, rebuild a worn one, or overlay one that is cracked but still solid. Seal coating keeps a sound lot in shape once it has cured.
Parking lot pavingWe build private roads, shared drives and access lanes to sheds, shops and back lots. The work starts with grading and a compacted rock base, then asphalt or chip seal depending on traffic. A crown down the center and shoulders that drain keep water off the surface and out of the base, which is what lets a lane last through winter.
Road constructionFarm yards, equipment pads, church lots and long country drives around Mount Clare 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
Freeze-thaw winters are the main enemy of asphalt here. Water gets under the surface, freezes and lifts it. Clay-heavy soils common around St. Louis make that worse because they hold moisture. We fix it at the base: remove soft soil, add compacted rock, and slope the finished surface so water drains off instead of soaking in.
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.

Yes. We cut back the edge, build and compact new rock base beside the old drive, then pave so the new and old sections tie together. Often the whole surface gets a fresh layer so it looks and wears as one driveway. We measure it during the free estimate.

They matter more than the asphalt. A Mount Clare lane that holds water at the culvert will fail there first, so we look at ditches, the culvert and the crown before quoting the surface.
