Main routes: Telegraph Road and Lemay Ferry Road
With 36,301 residents at the 2020 census, this is one of the larger communities in South County, and nearly all of it is single-family housing with a driveway out front. We repave those drives and rebuild the ones that have failed, plus the parking lots at churches, schools and the businesses along the main roads.
Telegraph Road is the main thoroughfare and runs roughly parallel to the Mississippi, while US 61/67 follows Lemay Ferry Road south toward Arnold. The community sits on bluffs above the river and is bordered by the Mississippi and the Meramec. Bluff ground means grade, and grade means drainage decides how long a surface lasts.

Plenty of drives here run uphill or downhill to the garage, and that slope is what wears them. We set the crown and cross slope so runoff leaves before it reaches the house, dig out soft subgrade, compact rock in layers and place hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups. Where a boat or camper parks, the section gets thicker and the edge gets more support.
Driveway pavingSchools, churches, medical offices and retail along Telegraph Road and Lemay Ferry Road take steady turning traffic and regular truck deliveries. We build the base heavier at entrances, drive aisles and loading zones, grade the lot so water reaches the inlets, and keep the layout simple. Lots with a sound base get crack repair, patching and seal coating instead of replacement.
Parking lot pavingSubdivision streets, HOA-owned lanes and the private drives serving a few homes along the bluff roads are all regular work. Compacted base, a crowned surface and open drainage keep water out of the wheel paths. Steep approaches and turnarounds get extra thickness, since those are the places tires push hardest and the surface gives up first.
Road constructionGeneral asphalt paving in Oakville means matching the fix to the problem. Surface cracks on a firm base call for an overlay. Soft, sinking spots call for digging out and rebuilding the base first. We show you the difference on the walk-through.
Asphalt paving
Bluff and upland ground above the Mississippi drops toward the river, so runoff moves fast and finds any weak edge. Underneath, clay-heavy soil common across the region holds water and shifts with freeze and thaw. We grade first, cut drainage where it is needed, remove soft material and compact the base in layers so the asphalt sits on something that will not move.
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.
Typical ranges. Your Oakville estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Usually because water runs toward the house instead of away, or the slab and asphalt meet without proper support. We reset the grade so runoff leaves at the street side, rebuild the base at the transition, and tie the new asphalt into the apron so the joint holds up.
Yes. We plan around your calendar, work in sections so part of the lot stays usable, and build in the cooling time fresh asphalt needs before vehicles go on it. Summer breaks and weekends usually give the cleanest window for a larger lot.
Typically a compacted crushed-stone base several inches deep on firm soil, with soft spots dug out first, and that holds for any Oakville driveway. On clay soils that hold water, a thicker base and good slope matter even more. The estimate states the base depth so there are no surprises.
Most Oakville driveways are a one to two day job. You can usually walk on the surface the same evening and drive on it after a couple of days, so plan to park on the street for that stretch.
We pave all around Oakville, across St. Louis County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
