Free estimates25% off
Three man-made lakes, Summerset, Winterhaven and Spring Lake, give this Jefferson County community its shape, and the roads and drives follow the water rather than a grid. We pave driveways here, along with private roads and the small lots that serve a lake community.
Lakeside lots often slope toward the water, which is good for drainage and hard on pavement if the grade is not controlled. Runoff picks up speed and finds the edge of the drive. We plan where water goes before the base rock arrives. The community sits about three miles south of De Soto and uses that mailing address.

A drive that runs downhill to a lake house needs its water handled on purpose. We set a crown or a cross slope that moves runoff to a controlled point, dig out the soft places, compact rock in layers, and place hot-mix asphalt, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups. Steeper drives get extra attention at the edges, which erode first.
Driveway pavingClubhouse lots, boat ramp and dock parking, and small church or shop lots are the commercial work around here. Trailer traffic is the thing to design for: backing, turning and weight concentrated on a few wheels. We build the base for that, then place asphalt in lifts and grade to planned low points.
Parking lot pavingPrivate roads serving lake subdivisions carry more than people expect, including delivery trucks and contractor vehicles. We regrade, compact rock in layers, crown for drainage and match asphalt thickness to that traffic. Where budget matters over a long stretch, chip seal or recycled asphalt over a solid base is a fair option.
Road constructionFarm yards, equipment pads, church lots and long country drives around Summer Set each carry different loads. We size the base and the asphalt to the traffic that will actually use it, then compact every layer so it stays put.
Asphalt paving
Jefferson County is rugged Ozark border country, and slopes here shed water fast toward the lakes. That speed is the problem: runoff cuts along pavement edges and undermines them. We build ditches and edge support into the plan, remove soft soil, and compact the base in layers so freeze-thaw winters find nothing to lift.
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 Summer Set estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.
Straight answers for Summer Set homeowners and property managers. Anything else, call (866) 490-7680.
Usually yes. Steep drives need the water controlled first and a well compacted base so the asphalt does not creep. We look at the slope, the turnaround and where runoff ends up, then tell you honestly if a different surface would serve you better.
Yes. We work with homeowner groups and road boards on private lake roads, and we can phase the work by section so costs spread over time. Estimates are free, and you get 25% off. Call (866) 490-7680.
Sometimes. If the base under your Summer Set 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.
They matter more than the asphalt. A Summer Set lane that holds water at the culvert will fail there first, so we look at ditches, the culvert and the crown before quoting the surface.
We pave all around Summer Set, across Jefferson County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
