Main routes: Highway 100 and Highway C
Front Street holds nine contributing buildings from about 1890 to 1940, listed on the National Register in 1999, and the driveways and lots behind that district still have to work in 2026. We pave home drives, business and church lots, and the access lanes at properties outside town. Older surfaces here usually fail at the base, not the top.
The city was first platted as Miller's Landing in 1855 and sits on upland above the Missouri River valley, in the Missouri Rhineland. Highway 100 runs along the south side, with Hermann about 13 miles northwest and Washington about 11 miles east. Slopes off the upland move water fast, which is good for drainage and hard on a poorly built edge. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.
Drives that run down off the upland need water taken off before it picks up speed. We set the crown and cross slope, add cross drainage where it helps, and build a compacted rock base under hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups. Edges take the worst of it on a slope, so they get full base support instead of asphalt feathered into the grass.
Driveway pavingBusiness lots near the historic district, church lots and winery or event parking outside town all get the same approach: base sized to the traffic, a grade that moves water to a ditch or inlet, and an entrance built heavier where vehicles turn in. Gravel overflow areas can be surfaced with recycled asphalt millings when a finished lot is not needed.
Parking lot pavingPrivate roads, shared drives and vineyard or farm lanes on the ridges above the river are regular work. A crowned surface over compacted rock keeps water out of the wheel paths, and steep pitches get extra base where tires push hardest. Chip seal suits a long, lightly used lane; asphalt suits one with truck traffic.
Road constructionIn a town like New Haven, general asphalt work covers a lot of ground: shop and church lots, alley aprons, repairs along a curb line, overlays on older streets and pads for equipment. The approach stays the same: fix the base, lay the hot mix, roll it tight, finish the edges.
Asphalt paving
Upland soil above the Missouri River valley is loess over heavier ground, and clay-heavy soils are common across the region. Loess cuts and holds a slope well but erodes fast when water is allowed to run on it. We build ditching and grade first, compact the base in layers, then place asphalt so the freeze and thaw months have less water to work with.
A cheap bid usually gets cheap somewhere you cannot see. Ask what depth of stone goes down, how thick the asphalt is after rolling, and who fixes it if water still stands.
Typical ranges. Your New Haven estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Yes. Event parking fills and empties in bursts, so entrances, aisles and turnarounds take the real wear. We build those areas heavier, grade the lot for drainage, and can pave part of it while surfacing overflow areas with millings to keep the cost down.
We pave in New Haven, Berger, Marthasville, Washington and the rest of Franklin County, and across greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Driveways, parking lots, private roads and farm lanes all get a free estimate, and you get 25% off.
No. Fresh asphalt in New Haven needs time to cure before it is sealed, typically several months and often up to a year. Sealing too early can trap oils in the pavement. After that, sealing every few years helps it resist water, sun and salt.
Only if the grade changes. Paving over a low spot in New Haven leaves the same low spot in a smoother surface. We measure the fall first and tell you what it takes to move the water.
