Main routes: I-170 and Olive Boulevard
Olive Boulevard runs along a ridge through this city, and the neighborhoods fall away on either side of it. That shape matters for paving, because every driveway off Price Road, Dielman Road or Old Bonhomme Road is working with some grade. We rebuild those drives and pave the office, church and retail lots along the corridor.
Four separate communities merged to incorporate Olivette in 1930, on ground that started as farmland, so the housing and the drives span nearly a century. I-170 has its own interchange at Olive Boulevard here. Older drives were built thin on little base and patched since. We fix the base rather than covering it.

Drives that slope from a ridge street down to a garage need the water taken off early. We set the crown and cross slope, rebuild the base where it has thinned, and place hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for a home drive. Circle drives and wider aprons common on these lots get full base under the turning areas, because that is where a thin section shows up first as cracking.
Driveway pavingOffice buildings, medical suites, churches and retail lots along Olive Boulevard and Price Road handle constant in-and-out traffic. We thicken the base at entrances, aisles and dumpster pads, grade to the inlets so water clears fast, and phase the work so tenants keep parking. Lots that are structurally sound get crack filling, patching and seal coating rather than a full rebuild.
Parking lot pavingPrivate drives in condominium and townhome developments, shared lanes between properties and commercial service roads are all part of the work. They get a compacted base, a crowned surface and a clean tie-in at the public street. Where delivery and trash trucks repeat the same turn, the section gets built thicker from the start instead of patched later.
Road constructionPlenty of Olivette pavement just needs the right repair at the right time. Full-depth patches, overlays and edge rebuilds stretch the life of what you already have. When a surface is past saving, we say so and quote the rebuild instead.
Asphalt paving
Ridge ground drains, low ground does not, and this city has both within a few blocks. Underneath is the clay-heavy soil common across St. Louis County, which swells wet and shrinks dry. Freeze and thaw pries at every weak spot. We grade for runoff, remove material that will not compact, and build base rock in layers so nothing shifts under the new surface.
Bids are only comparable when they spell out the same things: base depth, compacted thickness, how edges are finished, and where water is meant to go. Ask for those before you pick a number.
Typical ranges. Your Olivette estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

We tie asphalt into existing concrete aprons, curbs and garage slabs with a clean, supported joint so the two surfaces meet flush and stay that way. If the concrete itself is broken or settled, we will say so, since paving up to failing concrete just moves the problem.
A typical residential drive is a one to two day job: removal and base work on the first day, paving once the base is right. Weather can shift that. You will have a schedule up front, and we tell you when the drive is ready for vehicles.
It helps, because you know where water sits on the Olivette 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.
Plan on keeping cars off new asphalt for two to three days in mild weather, and longer through a hot Olivette summer. Fresh pavement stays soft while it cures, so turning tires on a parked car is what leaves scuff marks.
We pave all around Olivette, across St. Louis County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
