Main routes: I-44 and Highway 185
Two-thirds of a square mile, all of it land, sitting right beside Sullivan in southern Franklin County. The paving work follows the size of the place: home driveways, a few business and church lots, shop pads and gravel areas that never got a real surface. Driveways and lots are the core of it.
I-44 and Highway 185 both run inside village limits, which puts this ground on the Ozark foothill edge of the county where elevations climb toward Sullivan. Hill ground drains fast where the rock is close and slowly where the clay sits, so base work here is never one-size-fits-all. We check what is under the surface first.

Village drives run from short town aprons to longer approaches on a few acres. Both need the same start: soft material out, rock compacted in layers, and a grade that carries water to a ditch. Hot mix goes down typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups, thicker where a work truck or camper sits. Edges get real base under them, because unsupported edges are where the cracking starts.
Driveway pavingChurches, small businesses and shop yards near Highway 185 get lots built around what actually parks on them. We grade for drainage first, thicken the base at the entrance and anywhere trucks turn, then place and compact the mat. For a yard or overflow area that does not need a finished look, recycled asphalt millings are a practical and cheaper surface.
Parking lot pavingPrivate roads shared by a few homes, shop access lanes and farm drives outside the village are steady work. A crowned surface over a compacted base keeps water from standing in the wheel paths, and open ditches keep the base dry. Chip seal fits a lightly used lane. Asphalt is the right call where trucks run through the week.
Road constructionOut around Oak Grove Village, general asphalt work often means shop pads, machine-shed aprons, turnarounds for trucks and trailers, and the stretch of lane where gravel keeps washing out. We build those with drainage and heavy tires in mind.
Asphalt paving
Franklin County sits on Ozark foothills of the Salem Plateau, and this corner rises toward the higher ground near Sullivan. Rock is shallow in some spots and clay is deep in others, so a drive can be firm at one end and soft at the other. We dig out the weak ground, compact base in layers and grade so winter water has somewhere to go.
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 Oak Grove Village estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Yes. We grade the existing rock, add and compact more where it is thin, then pave or place recycled asphalt millings depending on your budget and how the area gets used. Either way the drainage gets fixed first, because a flat gravel pad holds water.
Yes. We pave in the village, Sullivan, Stanton, Miramiguoa Park, Bourbon and the surrounding part of Franklin County, and across greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Driveways, lots, private roads and farm lanes all get a free estimate and 25% off.
Sometimes. If the base under your Oak Grove Village pavement is still solid and the surface only has shallow cracking, an overlay can work well. If the pavement is sinking, rutting or breaking into alligator cracks, the base has failed and it needs to be rebuilt first. The free estimate is where we sort that out.
Both cost less than hot mix and both work well on long drives around Oak Grove Village. Chip seal gives a tough, textured surface; compacted millings bind tighter than gravel and cut the dust. We will walk the lane and tell you honestly where each one makes sense.
