In 1911 the Vin Fiz Flyer, the first plane to cross North America, came down north of town, and the village still marks it with a festival every August. The pavement question here is simpler than aviation history. No state highway runs through the village, so a county road west to Route 96 carries most of the traffic, and local drives and lots take the rest.
We build driveways and parking areas the same way every time: drainage checked, soft ground removed, rock compacted in layers, hot mix placed and rolled dense. Farm lanes and private roads are part of the work. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate that comes with 25% off.
A drive built around a railroad-era town plat is often narrow and close to the street, and water has a short run to get away. We set the grade first, then compact the rock base and place hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups. Where a drive serves a shop or a trailer, the base goes deeper before any asphalt goes down.
Driveway pavingThe business district burned in 1899 and was rebuilt, and the lots that serve it now sit small and close together. We pay attention to how traffic enters and leaves, build the entrance heavier than the stalls, and grade so water runs to an outlet. Church and farm-yard parking gets a base sized for trucks.
Parking lot pavingWith no state highway through the village, the county road west toward Route 96 does the heavy lifting, and nearly everything off it is private. Shared lanes, farm entrances and access roads hold up when they are crowned over a compacted base. Chip seal suits light traffic, and recycled asphalt makes a solid, lower-cost lane surface.
Road constructionFarm yards, equipment pads, church lots and long country drives around Nebo 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
Rolling Pike County ground moves water fast downhill and holds it in the flats. Both cases hurt asphalt if the base is soft: one cuts the edge, the other freezes and heaves the middle. We compact in layers, grade to a real outlet and support the edges so the surface stays whole through winter.
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 Nebo estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

The same way you do. We ask about the county road route, any narrow bridge and the turn into the property before scheduling, so the equipment matches the access. That is part of the estimate visit, not a surprise on the day of the work.
It can be, especially on a long lane or a farm drive where full hot mix is more than the traffic needs. Milled asphalt compacts into a firm, low-cost surface. It will not look like new pavement, and we say so before you choose it.
Hot-mix asphalt needs warm air and warm ground to compact properly, and the plants serving Nebo typically run from spring into late fall. Winter is a good time to get your estimate and book a spot for the season.
It can, but it has to be built for that load. On Nebo properties, heavy equipment needs a deeper base and a thicker mat than a car driveway. Tell us what actually drives on it, including grain trucks and trailers, and the estimate is sized to that.
We pave all around Nebo, across Pike County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
