Main routes: Highway 30 and Highway 47
Highways 30 and 47 carry traffic straight through Parkway, and I-44 sits about a mile and a quarter west, so the village catches what is headed to St. Clair and beyond. Driveways and parking lots are the bulk of our work here, along with shop pads, farm lanes and private roads.
Population grew about half again between the 2010 and 2020 censuses, which means new drives going in beside older ones that have been patched for years. Both get the same treatment. Base rock compacted in layers, a surface graded to shed water, then hot mix placed and rolled. The Meramec River runs roughly two miles east, and low ground near it holds water longer.

Lots out here often mean a long run from the road to the house, sometimes with a culvert at the entrance and a grade in the middle. We set the culvert and the ditch line first, then build the base in compacted lifts. Home drives typically get 2 to 3 inches of hot mix. On longer runs, recycled asphalt millings hold a firm surface for less money.
Driveway pavingA lot fronting Highway 30 or Highway 47 needs an entrance that matches how drivers actually turn in, and a base sized for delivery trucks rather than cars. We slope the surface so water leaves at a planned point, keep the apron tight where it meets the highway, and stripe after the asphalt has cured.
Parking lot pavingPrivate roads, farm lanes and access drives to shop buildings need crown and drainage more than they need raw thickness. We grade the subgrade, compact rock in layers and pave the width the traffic calls for. Chip seal and recycled asphalt are worth pricing on long lanes where a full hot-mix section is more than the use requires.
Road constructionIn a town like Parkway, general asphalt work covers a lot of ground: shop and church lots, alley aprons, repairs along a curb line, overlays on older streets and pads for equipment. The approach stays the same: fix the base, lay the hot mix, roll it tight, finish the edges.
Asphalt paving
Franklin County sits on the northern edge of the Ozarks, with cherty red clay over dolomite common through the Salem Plateau and karst features like sinkholes and springs across the county. Clay holds water, freeze-thaw winters drive it into cracks, and pavement fails from below. Drainage and a compacted base come first.
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.
Typical ranges. Your Parkway estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Parkway sits right beside St. Clair, and we serve both, along with Union, Villa Ridge and the rest of Franklin County. Same approach on base and drainage in each. Call for a free estimate and you get 25% off the work.
It can be. Gravel needs regrading and loses material every year. Asphalt over a compacted rock base stops that and handles rain better on a slope. If the drive runs very long, compare recycled asphalt millings before you decide.
Hot-mix asphalt needs warm air and warm ground to compact properly, and the plants serving Parkway typically run from spring into late fall. Winter is a good time to get your estimate and book a spot for the season.
Only if the grade changes. Paving over a low spot in Parkway leaves the same low spot in a smoother surface. We measure the fall first and tell you what it takes to move the water.
We pave all around Parkway, across Franklin County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
