Main routes: I-44, Highway 185, and Highway D
Meramec State Park sits just east off Highway 185, and I-44 serves the city at exits 225 and 226. Between the park traffic and the highway business, parking lots here work hard. We build and repair those, and we pave driveways through town and out on the surrounding hills.
The city grew from about 900 residents in 1920 to more than 4,000 by 1960, so the housing runs across several eras and the driveways do too. Historic Route 66 still runs through town. Older drives usually need the base rebuilt, not a skim coat. Sullivan straddles the Franklin and Crawford county line, and we work both sides.

In-town drives are short and often steep off the street; out of town they run long over changing ground. Both start below the surface. We cut out failed material, compact rock in layers, and place hot-mix asphalt, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups, more where a truck or camper parks. On a slope, the crown and the edge drainage do most of the work.
Driveway pavingMotels, restaurants, shops and church lots near the interchanges take trucks, RVs and steady turning. We plan entrances and drive aisles for the largest vehicle first, size the base to match, and place asphalt in lifts. A lot with a sound base may only need crack repair, an overlay or seal coating after curing.
Parking lot pavingWe build and repave private roads, campground and cabin access lanes, farm lanes and field roads around the Meramec. Each gets grading, a compacted rock base and a crown to shed water. On a long access road, chip seal or recycled asphalt over solid base is often the sensible finish.
Road constructionAround Sullivan we see plenty of pavement that has been patched over and over. Sometimes one more patch is the right call. Sometimes a mill-and-overlay or a rebuild saves money over the next ten years. We will lay out both options so you can choose.
Asphalt paving
Franklin County runs up to about 1,050 feet near here, and Ozark hill ground shifts from rock to clay in short distances. Freeze-thaw winters pull apart anything holding water underneath. We grade so runoff leaves the surface, strip soft soil, and compact rock in layers before any asphalt is placed.
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 Sullivan estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.
Straight answers for Sullivan homeowners and property managers. Anything else, call (866) 490-7680.
Yes. The grade has to move water off the side rather than down the length of the drive, and the base needs to be compacted well enough that it does not creep. On steeper drives we may add a swale or change the crown so runoff never builds speed.
Yes. All three are within about six miles, and we work across Franklin and Crawford counties plus greater St. Louis. I-44 keeps travel simple. Estimates are free, and you get 25% off. Call (866) 490-7680.
Sometimes. If the base under your Sullivan 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.
Yes, and we phase it so the lot stays usable. Most small Sullivan lots are done in sections, with the entrance kept open where possible, so a business or a Sunday service is not shut out while the asphalt cures.
We pave all around Sullivan, across Franklin County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
