Main routes: Highway 19, Highway 28, and Highway P
Highways 19 and 28 share pavement for a short stretch through this Gasconade County city, and most of the commercial lots sit near that line. We pave those lots and the driveways in the neighborhoods around them, plus shop yards and equipment pads on the ground outside town. Driveways and parking lots are the steady work.
The first post office opened in 1856, and the town was formally platted in 1886 when the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad arrived. It is the county's largest city, though Hermann is the county seat, and it sits about 22 miles north of I-44 in northern Ozark hill country. Grade and base decide how long a surface lasts up here.

In-town drives are short and straightforward. Drives on the ground outside town are long and carry work trucks and trailers. Both get soft material removed, rock compacted in layers and a grade that puts water in a ditch or at the street. Hot mix runs typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups, thicker where heavy vehicles park or turn, with edges built on full base.
Driveway pavingBusiness lots near the highway junction, church and school lots, and shop or equipment yards each get a base sized to the load. We grade for drainage before anything else, build entrances heavier where trucks turn in off Highway 19 or Highway 28, and keep the stall layout simple. Recycled asphalt millings are a practical surface for a yard or overflow area.
Parking lot pavingPrivate roads, shop access lanes and farm drives around the county are all regular work. A crowned surface over a compacted base keeps water out of the wheel paths, and open ditches keep the base itself dry through a wet season. Chip seal suits a long lane with light traffic. Asphalt is the answer where trucks run all week.
Road constructionGeneral paving in Owensville 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
Northern Ozark hills here sit on rock in some spots and deeper clay in others, and the difference often shows up within one driveway. Trapped water freezing under a thin section is what produces the potholes and heaves you see by March. We dig out the soft ground, compact base rock in lifts and shape the grade so water leaves quickly.
A cheap bid usually gets cheap somewhere you cannot see. Ask what depth of stone goes down, how thick the asphalt is after rolling, and who fixes it if water still stands.
Typical ranges. Your Owensville estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Yes. An equipment pad needs a deeper compacted base and a thicker asphalt section than a parking area, because the load sits in one place instead of rolling across. We ask about weights and how the pad gets used, then build it for that rather than guessing.

Most Owensville driveways are paved in one to two days once the base is ready, with more time if the old surface has to come out or the base needs rebuilding. You can usually walk on it the same day and drive on it after a few days, depending on the weather.
Most Owensville estimates happen within a few days of your call, and jobs are usually scheduled a couple of weeks out depending on weather and the season. Booking early in the year gets the better dates.
