Main routes: St. Charles Rock Road, I-170, and Natural Bridge Road
The city's commercial district runs along St. Charles Rock Road, and that corridor is where most of the parking lot work here starts. Off it sit blocks of modest homes with short, narrow driveways, and those are the other half of what we do in St. John. Both get the same approach: fix the base, then pave.
Lambert-St. Louis International Airport sits a few miles northwest, and I-170 and Natural Bridge Road both cross the city, so through traffic is constant. Lots on those routes need entrances and drainage planned before anything gets paved. On the residential side, most drives need the base rebuilt rather than a surface patch.

Narrow drives are the norm on these streets, and many of them are original. We take out the failed material, compact rock in layers, and place hot-mix asphalt, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups. Widening a few feet or adding a side pad gives you room to park without blocking the sidewalk, and the new section gets its own base so it does not settle away.
Driveway pavingAlong St. Charles Rock Road, McKibbon Road and Brown Road, lots serve shops, offices, churches and small industrial buildings. We lay out entrances, aisles and drainage together, size the base for delivery trucks, and place asphalt in lifts. Work can be staged in sections so part of the lot stays open through the job.
Parking lot pavingWe pave private drives, apartment access lanes, loading approaches and the service roads behind commercial buildings near I-170. Each gets a graded, compacted base and a crown or cross slope that sheds water. The entrance off the public street gets extra thickness, because turning trucks break edges first.
Road constructionNot every job is a full rebuild. On older St. John 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
Freeze-thaw winters and clay-heavy soils common around St. Louis are the two things that end pavement here. Trapped water freezes, lifts the asphalt and cracks it. We grade so runoff leaves the surface, remove soft soil, and compact the rock base in layers before placing any hot mix.
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 St. John estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Cars can usually be back on it within a few days, depending on weather. Heavy trucks and trailers should wait longer while the mix cures and hardens. Avoid parking in one spot in hot weather at first, and keep sharp turns to a minimum while it is new.

No. Fresh asphalt in St. John needs time to cure before it is sealed, typically several months and often up to a year. Sealing too early can trap oils in the pavement. After that, sealing every few years helps it resist water, sun and salt.
Yes. We set the finished grade at the garage so water runs away from the building rather than toward it, which on older St. John homes is often the real reason the slab edge keeps taking on water.
We pave all around St. John, across St. Louis County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
