Main routes: I-255
Chemical plants gave this village its start when it incorporated as Monsanto in 1926, and it was later renamed for its first village president, Leo Sauget. The 2020 census counted 141 residents, yet the village keeps its own 16-member fire and police departments. Industry still sets the tone. Parking lots and driveways here mostly serve businesses, and they carry loads that would tear a residential drive apart.
I-255 runs through with an interchange at Mousette Lane that reaches the ballpark, and the American Bottoms treatment plant sits here as well. Flat floodplain ground plus semi traffic makes base depth and drainage the whole story. We build for the heaviest axle, not the average one.

Residential drives are rare in a village this small, so most drive work is a business approach, a gate entrance or a pad beside a building. Those see trucks, so we build them like small lots: soft ground removed, a deep compacted rock base, then hot mix in more than one lift with extra thickness where trailers turn and back.
Driveway pavingEvent parking at the ballpark, employee lots and truck yards all get sized to their heaviest regular vehicle. We plan entrances around how semis actually swing in, build the base for those loads, place asphalt in lifts, and grade to planned drainage points so flat ground does not hold water in the corners.
Parking lot pavingPlant access roads, yard roads and private drives take loaded trucks daily. We grade, crown and compact a rock base deep enough for that weight, then place asphalt in lifts. Entrances and turning areas take the worst punishment, so those sections get extra base rather than the same section as a straight run.
Road constructionGeneral asphalt work in Sauget 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 flat American Bottom floodplain across from St. Louis: deep river-laid clay, silt, sand and gravel behind the levees. That ground gives under heavy load and holds water when it rains. We proof the subgrade, replace soft material, compact the base in lifts, and build deliberate slope into every surface.
Bids are only comparable when they spell out the same things: base depth, compacted thickness, how edges are finished, and where water is meant to go. Ask for those before you pick a number.
Typical ranges. Your Sauget estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Usually yes. We phase the work so part of the yard stays open, keep an entrance usable, and schedule sections around your traffic. Curing time is the limit for heavy trucks, so we agree on which areas close and for how long before starting.
A deep, well-compacted aggregate base with hot-mix asphalt placed in more than one lift. Thickness alone does not do it. The base carries the load and drainage keeps it stable, so the effort goes there before anything black gets placed.
Most Sauget 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 Sauget 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.
