Main routes: Route 111, I-270, and I-255
Route 111 runs through the center of the village, I-270 crosses the north end at Exit 6, and I-255 runs through the east side. That much interchange traffic means lots here work hard. We pave driveways and parking lots, plus the access roads and truck pads that come with a location like this.
The village took its name from the lakefront at Long Lake and incorporated in 1962, and part of Horseshoe Lake sits in its southwest corner. All of it is American Bottom floodplain, which changes how we build. Home drives get a compacted rock base and hot-mix asphalt, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted.

Subdivision drives here are usually short, flat runs between the street and an attached garage, often with a pad for a second vehicle. Flat ground means the pitch has to be built in rather than assumed. We set the grade so water leaves toward the street, compact aggregate in layers, then place hot mix at typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and light trucks.
Driveway pavingBusiness lots near the I-270 and I-255 ramps take semis, box trucks and steady customer turnover. We build the base for the heaviest of that, thicken entrances and turning lanes, and place asphalt in lifts. Drainage gets planned first on floodplain ground, because a lot that ponds fails at the low spots before anywhere else.
Parking lot pavingHorseshoe Lake Road and the streets off Route 162 feed both business and residential traffic through the village. We build private roads, subdivision streets and industrial access drives on a graded, crowned and compacted rock base sized for loaded trucks, then surface them in asphalt placed in lifts.
Road constructionGeneral asphalt work in Pontoon Beach covers the jobs that do not fit neatly in a box: alley aprons, walkways, basketball pads, repairs where a utility trench was cut, and overlays that bring a tired surface back. Each one gets the same treatment: a clean edge, a sound base and hot mix rolled tight.
Asphalt paving
This is the American Bottom: deep river-laid clay, silt, sand and gravel behind the levee system. Flat ground holds water, and fill areas can be soft under a load. We proof the subgrade, take out what will not compact, build the rock base in lifts, and grade every surface so runoff has a planned exit.
The part of the job you can see is the last two inches. Ask what is underneath, how it will be compacted, and which way the finished surface drains.
Typical ranges. Your Pontoon Beach estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

It does. Flat, wet ground needs a stronger, better-drained base and deliberate slope, since there is no natural fall to help. We check the subgrade before paving and add stone where it proves soft, because pavement is only as good as what sits under it.
Usually yes. We can split the lot into sections, keep an entrance and part of the parking usable, and work through it in phases. Curing time drives the schedule, so we agree on which areas close and for how long before starting.
Most Pontoon Beach 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.
Usually yes. Tight drives around Pontoon Beach are normal work: we size the equipment to the access, hand-work the pinch points along fences and garages, and roll every foot of it. If a spot truly cannot be machine-paved, we tell you before you sign anything.
We pave all around Pontoon Beach, across Madison County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
