Residents voted 168 to 82 in November 2016 to incorporate, which made St. Rose one of the newest villages in Clinton County. The paving here looks the way it does in most farm communities north of Breese: home driveways, church and shop lots, and lanes running back to barns and bins. We build each one on compacted rock with hot-mix asphalt placed and rolled in lifts.
Driveways and lots come first, and both start with grade and base rather than surface. Get water moving off the pavement and a drive lasts; skip that and it cracks along the edges in the first few winters. Chip seal and recycled millings are worth considering on longer, lighter-duty lanes. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.
Around here a driveway often runs a good distance off the county road, and it has to hold up under a pickup, a trailer and delivery trucks. We take out failed material, rebuild soft base, and place hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for a home drive. Where the drive meets the road, we build the apron so the edge does not break apart under turning wheels.
Driveway pavingChurch lots, shop pads and farm yards make up most of the commercial work in a village this size. We set the entrance and turning path, build base rock sized for the heaviest vehicle, then pave and roll. Grading sends water to planned outlets. A lot that is still structurally sound can take an overlay or seal coating instead of a rebuild.
Parking lot pavingPrivate roads and field lanes off the section roads take the hardest use in spring and fall, when the ground is wet and the trucks are loaded. We grade, compact the base in layers and crown the surface so water leaves to the ditch. Hot mix suits heavy traffic; millings or chip seal work on lanes that see fewer trips.
Road constructionA lot of rural pavement near St. Rose fails at the edges, where water gets under the asphalt and tires break the shoulder down. Overlays, edge rebuilds and better drainage are often the fix. When the base is gone, we rebuild it before we pave.
Asphalt paving
The farm country between St. Rose and Breese is flat and drains slowly. Clay-heavy soils common around St. Louis hold water near the surface, and freeze-thaw winters lift pavement that sits on a saturated base. We remove soft soil, compact rock in layers and shape the surface so rain runs off rather than working its way under it.
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 St. Rose estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Yes. Breese is about 5 miles south and Aviston about 5 miles southwest, and we pave in both, along with Germantown, Highland, Trenton and the rest of Clinton County. Driveways, lots and farm lanes are all part of it. Estimates are free and you get 25% off.
Yes. Many owners pave the first stretch near the house and the yard, where turning and standing traffic do the most damage, and leave the rest in gravel or millings. We can phase it that way and build a clean transition where the surfaces meet.
Sometimes. If the base under your St. Rose pavement is still solid and the surface only has shallow cracking, an overlay can work well. If the pavement is sinking, rutting or breaking into alligator cracks, the base has failed and it needs to be rebuilt first. The free estimate is where we sort that out.
As much as the budget allows. Long lanes around St. Rose are often done in stages, starting at the road or at the worst stretch. We build each stage so the next one ties in cleanly rather than leaving a lip where the work stopped.
We pave all around St. Rose, across Clinton County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
