No state or U.S. highway runs through this village. Everything arrives by county and local roads, which is worth knowing before anyone paves here, because the surface a new drive connects to is often a county road with its own drainage and its own edge. About two hundred people live in the village, out on Washington County farm ground.
Driveways and small lots are the core of the work, along with farm lanes and private roads. We set the grade so water leaves, remove soft soil, compact a rock base in layers, then place and roll hot-mix asphalt. A residential drive typically finishes at 2 to 3 inches compacted, more where equipment crosses. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.
A drive that ties into a county road needs the connection built right: enough base at the apron, a grade that does not trap water where the two surfaces meet, and edges rolled tight so they do not ravel. Behind that, the build is straightforward. Soft soil comes out, rock goes in and is compacted in layers, and hot mix is placed and rolled hot at 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups.
Driveway pavingChurch parking, a hall, a shop pad or a farm yard is what gets paved commercially around here. We size the base for the heaviest vehicle that uses it, plan where trucks enter and turn, and grade so runoff leaves at a chosen point rather than standing. Asphalt goes down in lifts. Existing gravel can sometimes be reworked into the base.
Parking lot pavingFarm lanes, field entrances, private roads and long access drives get graded, crowned and built over a compacted rock base. Away from the state routes, the ditches alongside a lane do as much work as the surface itself, so we shape those too. Chip seal is worth asking about where traffic is light and the lane is long.
Road constructionA lot of rural pavement near Oakdale fails at the edges, where water gets under the asphalt and tires break the shoulder down. Overlays, edge rebuilds and better drainage are often the fix. When the base is gone, we rebuild it before we pave.
Asphalt paving
Washington County upland is loess-covered till plain, and the soils commonly carry a slow-draining claypan below the surface. Water moves down through it slowly, so it collects in a base unless the pavement above sheds it. Freeze-thaw winters then work every crack. We grade for runoff, remove soft material and compact rock base in layers.
Before you sign anything, get the base depth and the compacted asphalt thickness on paper. Two bids that look far apart are often just two different pavements.

Yes. Getting equipment to a site on county and township roads is routine. We plan the haul and the schedule around it, and we look at how the new pavement meets the county road so the connection drains properly and holds up under turning traffic.
We pave in Oakdale, Coulterville, Addieville, Nashville, Tilden, Okawville and the surrounding Washington and Randolph County area, plus greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Estimates are free and you get 25% off.
Sometimes. If the base under your Oakdale 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 Oakdale. 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.
We pave all around Oakdale, across Washington County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
