Main routes: I-70 and Highway 19
An interstate town gets two kinds of paving work. Home driveways, quiet and residential, and lots that take truck weight near the exit. We do both here, along with the shop pads and farm lanes on the ground around town. Highway 19 passes along the west side and meets I-70 at Exit 175.
The town was platted in 1858 as Florence and sits on a slight ridge that drains north to Elkhorn Creek and west to Smith Branch. Montgomery City, the county seat, is about 5 miles northwest on Highway 19. Base thickness is the difference between a lot that handles loaded trucks and one that ruts in a year, so we size it to the actual traffic.

Residential drives here mostly need honest base work, not a thicker top. We strip what will not compact, build rock in layers, set a grade that runs water to the ditch or street, then place hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups. Where a drive doubles as a parking spot for a work truck or an RV, we thicken the section and widen the apron at the road.
Driveway pavingLots near the interchange see trucks, and trucks concentrate weight at entrances, turns and wherever they stop. Those areas get a deeper base and a thicker mat. Everything else gets graded so water runs off instead of ponding. Church and office lots in town are lighter duty, so the base is sized down and the money goes into drainage and a clean finish.
Parking lot pavingPrivate roads, shop access drives and farm lanes around town all get a compacted base, a crowned surface and ditching that carries water away rather than down the lane. Entrances off Highway 19 take the hardest wear, so we build them heavier. Chip seal fits a low-traffic lane where a full asphalt section is more than it needs.
Road constructionGeneral paving in New Florence 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.
Asphalt paving
This corner of Montgomery County is claypan upland, which sheds water slowly and holds it in the low spots. Trapped water freezes and lifts the surface, then thaws and leaves a soft base behind. The answer is drainage and compaction: shape the grade, keep ditches open, remove soft ground and build base rock in lifts rather than one dump.
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 New Florence estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Yes, when it is built for them. Truck traffic needs a deeper compacted base and a thicker asphalt section than a car lot, especially at the entrance and wherever trucks stop or turn. We ask what uses the lot, then size base and mat to match.
Yes. We cover New Florence, Montgomery City, Danville, High Hill and the rest of Montgomery County, along with greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Driveways, parking lots, private roads and farm lanes all qualify for a free estimate and 25% off.
Hot-mix asphalt needs warm air and warm ground to compact properly, and the plants serving New Florence typically run from spring into late fall. Winter is a good time to get your estimate and book a spot for the season.
In New Florence 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.
We pave all around New Florence, across Montgomery County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
