Main routes: I-44 and Business 44 (old Route 66)
Route 66 came down what is now Osage Street from 1933 until I-44 bypassed the town in 1965, and that old alignment still carries much of the local business traffic as Business Loop 44. The lots along it and the driveways in the neighborhoods behind it are the bulk of our work here, along with commercial pads near the interstate.
The town was platted in 1852 as Franklin and renamed for the Pacific Railroad when it incorporated in 1859. It sits in the Meramec River valley below sandstone bluffs, with low ground on the south side that has flooded historically, and it straddles the Franklin and St. Louis County line. Valley ground and bluff ground call for different base work. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.
Drives in the valley neighborhoods sit on ground that can be soft after a wet stretch, while drives up against the bluffs deal with runoff coming down at them. We probe the subgrade, remove what will not hold, compact rock in layers and place hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups. On sloped drives the crown, the edges and the apron all get extra attention.
Driveway pavingBusiness lots along Osage Street and St. Louis Street, church lots and commercial pads near the interstate all take turning traffic and trucks. We build the base heavier at entrances, aisles and loading areas, grade so water reaches an inlet rather than standing, and can stage the work so a business keeps its doors open. Sound lots get crack repair, patching and seal coating.
Parking lot pavingPrivate roads, subdivision streets, industrial access drives and the lanes running back toward the river bottoms are all regular work. Compacted base, crowned surface and open drainage keep water out of the wheel paths. Where rail and truck traffic cross a property, we build those approaches thicker because that is where the surface takes the hardest hits.
Road constructionGeneral paving in Pacific 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
Valley bottom near the Meramec holds water and can stay saturated, while the ground below the bluffs takes runoff coming off rock. Clay-heavy soils are common across the region and move with freeze and thaw. Good drainage matters more here than anywhere: we grade the surface to shed water, cut drainage where runoff collects, and compact base rock in layers.
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 Pacific estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

It affects how we build, not whether we can. Ground that floods or stays wet gets a deeper rock base, careful subgrade work and a grade that moves water off fast. Paving a saturated subgrade without that preparation is how a new surface fails in one season.
Yes. We work in Pacific, Eureka, Gray Summit, Villa Ridge, Wildwood and the surrounding parts of Franklin and St. Louis counties, plus greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Driveways, parking lots and private roads all get a free estimate.
Hot-mix asphalt needs warm air and warm ground to compact properly, and the plants serving Pacific typically run from spring into late fall. Winter is a good time to get your estimate and book a spot for the season.
In Pacific 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 Pacific, across Franklin County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
