Travelers have been pulling off here since the first Okawville Springs Hotel opened in 1867, and the Original Springs Hotel and Bathhouse still brings people into town. Driveways and parking lots are the bulk of our work in the village, along with approaches and shop pads out on the surrounding farms.
I-64 exit 41 puts Route 177 traffic through town, so a business lot here sees local cars and people stopping off the interstate both. We build those lots on a base sized for delivery trucks. Home drives get a compacted rock base and hot-mix asphalt, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.
Village drives off Front Street and High Street are usually short and close to the neighbors, so clean edges and a straight joint at the garage matter. Farm drives outside town run long and carry heavier loads. Either way we shape the subgrade to shed water, compact rock in layers, and place hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups.
Driveway pavingThe village has churches, a museum, small businesses and the hotel property, all needing lots that stay flat under repeat traffic. We set the base for the heaviest vehicle expected, slope the surface to a planned low point, and place asphalt in lifts. A worn lot with a solid base underneath may only need patching and an overlay.
Parking lot pavingTownship lanes, farm access roads and private drives around here take loaded grain trucks in the fall. Those need a crowned surface, a deep compacted base and firm shoulders so the edges do not crumble. We match the surface to the traffic: asphalt where it earns its keep, chip seal on lighter runs.
Road constructionGeneral paving in Okawville 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
Plum Creek runs through the village and the Kaskaskia River lies two to three miles north, so parts of this ground sit low and drain slowly. Water under pavement is what breaks it, especially with freeze-thaw winters. We remove soft soil, compact the rock base in lifts, and grade so runoff leaves the surface.
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 Okawville estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Yes. Lots near I-64 exit 41 take delivery trucks and out-of-town cars, so we build the base for the heaviest axle loads and thicken the asphalt at entrances and turning areas. We walk the lot with you during the free estimate and size it from there.
Yes. Older drives and lots in Okawville often have a sound base under a tired surface. Where that is the case, patching and an overlay cost less than a full rebuild. Where the base has failed, we say so and price the removal plainly.
Typically a compacted crushed-stone base several inches deep on firm soil, with soft spots dug out first, and that holds for any Okawville 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.
In Okawville 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 Okawville, across Washington County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
