Main routes: St. Charles Rock Road and Page Avenue
Pagedale grew out of farmland and incorporated in 1950, so plenty of the driveways here have been in the ground a long time. We pave home drives and business parking lots, and we start with what sits under the surface: base rock, grade and where the water goes.
Route 180 runs through town as St. Charles Rock Road, and Page Avenue carries Route D, so the side streets off both see steady turning traffic. A two-car drive near Baerveldt Park and a small lot off Ferguson Avenue start the same way. Compact the base in layers, place hot mix, roll it while it is hot.

Most drives in Pagedale are short, flat runs from the street to a garage or a side pad. That shape makes drainage the whole job. We pitch the surface so water sheds toward the yard or the curb line instead of standing at the garage apron. Failed blacktop and broken concrete come out, soft spots in the subgrade get rock, and a home drive typically finishes at 2 to 3 inches of compacted hot mix.
Driveway pavingChurches, small shops and apartment buildings along Page Avenue and the Rock Road need lots that take delivery trucks without rutting. We size the base for the heaviest vehicle that will use it, set the slope toward planned outlets, and lay out entrances so traffic moves through the lot one way. A worn lot with a sound base may take an overlay instead of a rebuild.
Parking lot pavingPrivate drives behind apartment buildings, shared alleys and back-door access lanes get a road section rather than a driveway section: graded subgrade, crowned surface, rock compacted in lifts and asphalt thick enough for the traffic. Edges get support so the pavement holds where tires ride off the side.
Road constructionNot every job is a full rebuild. On older Pagedale pavement we often start with the smaller fixes: cutting out a failed patch, resetting a sunken section by the garage, or putting a fresh overlay over a surface whose base is still sound. We tell you which of those your asphalt actually needs, and we put it in writing.
Asphalt paving
Upland soils across St. Louis County formed in loess, and the county soil survey says local roads on many of them need adequate base material plus side ditches and culverts, because of low strength and frost action. Add clay-heavy ground and freeze-thaw winters, and water under the pavement is what breaks it. Drainage gets fixed first.
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 Pagedale estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Usually you can drive on it within a day or two, but fresh asphalt stays soft for weeks while it cures. Keep heavy trucks, trailer jacks and kickstands off it, and try not to turn your wheels while stopped. We go over the timing before we leave.
Yes. Pagedale covers a little over a square mile and most parcels are modest, so short drives and small church or shop lots are common here. The base prep is the same at any size. Estimates are free and you get 25% off.
On a Pagedale job the price comes down to size, how much base work is needed, the asphalt thickness, whether old pavement has to come out, drainage fixes and how easily trucks can reach the work. Your written estimate lists each of those so you can compare it with other bids line by line.
Yes. We set the finished grade at the garage so water runs away from the building rather than toward it, which on older Pagedale homes is often the real reason the slab edge keeps taking on water.
We pave all around Pagedale, across St. Louis County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
