Paving Old Jamestown from the base up

Long driveways are the story here. The community covers about 15 square miles in north St. Louis County, mostly north and west of Highway 67, and the 2020 census counted 7.8 percent of residents living in rural areas, which is unusual for this county. We pave those long drives and the parking lots at churches, shops and community buildings.

Sioux Passage Park sits on the Missouri River at 17930 Old Jamestown Road, and the river forms the northern edge of the community. Wooded acreage, river bluffs and older subdivisions all sit close together, so no two drives here need the same base. We look at the ground before quoting.

Driveway paving in Old Jamestown

A drive that runs a few hundred feet through trees has to handle water crossing it at several points, plus roots and soft shoulders. We shape the grade, add cross drainage where runoff wants to travel, compact rock in layers and place hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups. Long drives can be paved in phases, or the far section surfaced with millings to control cost.

Parking lot paving in Old Jamestown

Churches, small businesses and community buildings along New Halls Ferry Road and Old Jamestown Road need lots that hold up to turning traffic and the occasional truck. The base gets built heavier at the entrance and the aisles, and the grade sends water to a ditch or inlet rather than the low corner. Sound older lots usually need patching and seal coating.

Parking lot paving

Road construction & private roads

Private roads shared among acreage neighbors, subdivision streets and access lanes down toward the river bottoms are all regular work. Crowned surface, compacted base, open ditches: that is what keeps a lane usable through a wet spring. Steep sections down off the bluff get extra base, because water and weight both work hardest there.

General asphalt paving & repair

Beyond driveways and lots, we handle the everyday asphalt work around Old Jamestown: overlays on sound pavement, full-depth patches where the base gave out, walking paths, sport courts and shop aprons. You get a straight answer on whether to repair or replace.

Ground, water and winter in Old Jamestown

Ground near the Missouri River runs from bluff soil to bottomland in a short distance, with clay-heavy soils common throughout the region. Bottom ground stays wet, bluff ground sheds water fast and erodes where it is not controlled. We probe the subgrade, remove what will not compact, build the base in layers and grade so winter water is never sitting under the surface.

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.

Compacted asphaltTypically 2 to 3 in. for a car drive
Stone baseTypically 4 to 8 in., compacted
Drive on itUsually 2 to 3 days, longer in heat
First sealcoatTypically 6 to 12 months after paving

Typical ranges. Your Old Jamestown estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Old Jamestown paving questions

Straight answers for Old Jamestown homeowners and property managers. Anything else, call (866) 490-7680.

Is it cheaper to pave part of a long driveway?

Often, yes. Many people pave the section closest to the house and the turnaround, then surface the rest with recycled asphalt millings or leave it rock for now. We can lay out a phased plan that keeps the base work consistent so later sections tie in cleanly.

Do you cover Old Jamestown, Florissant and Black Jack?

Yes. We pave in Old Jamestown, Florissant, Black Jack, Spanish Lake and the rest of north St. Louis County, along with greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Driveways, parking lots, private roads and farm lanes all qualify for a free estimate.

Do I need to be home for the estimate?

It helps, because you know where water sits on the Old Jamestown property and how the drive gets used. If you cannot be there, tell us what you want done when you call and we will work out the best way to walk the site and go over the details with you.

Does my HOA need to approve the work?

Some Old Jamestown subdivisions have rules about materials, width or how long equipment can sit on the street. Check with your HOA before you schedule, and we will work the timing around whatever they require.
