Asphalt work for Terre du Lac properties

Built around a set of man-made lakes and a golf course spanning the St. Francois and Washington county line, this community runs on private roads rather than public streets. We pave driveways here, rebuild those private roads and handle the lots that serve the common areas.

Ground here overlooks the Big River valley to the south, so nearly everything sits on a slope. A drive that falls toward a lake or a ditch has to be graded so runoff leaves at a controlled point instead of eating the edge. Highway 47 is the link out. We size the base for the traffic, including the trucks that come down these roads. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.

Driveway paving in Terre du Lac

Sloped drives and golf-course lots make up most of the residential work. We set the grade so water leaves where we choose, cut out soft material, compact rock in layers, and place hot-mix asphalt, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups. Edges matter on a slope, since unsupported asphalt breaks away once runoff gets under it.

Parking lot paving in Terre du Lac

Clubhouse, marina and common-area lots take cars, boat trailers and maintenance equipment. Trailer traffic drives the design: backing room, turning radius and weight on few wheels. We build the base for that, place asphalt in lifts, and grade to planned low points rather than letting water pick its own.

Parking lot paving

Road construction & private roads

Private roads are the backbone of a community like this, and they carry delivery trucks, service vehicles and construction traffic. We regrade, compact rock in layers, crown for drainage and match asphalt thickness to the load. Long stretches can be phased by section, or finished with chip seal where that fits the budget.

General asphalt paving & repair

Farm yards, equipment pads, church lots and long country drives around Terre du Lac 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.

What's under a Terre du Lac driveway

St. Francois County is Ozark highland: gently rolling plain in places, dissected cherty hills in others. Runoff moves fast on these slopes and slowly in the flats, and freeze-thaw winters exploit whichever holds water. We plan drainage first, remove soft soil, and compact the rock base in layers before paving.

When you compare bids, ask each contractor for three numbers in writing: the compacted asphalt thickness, the base depth, and what happens to the water. Those three decide how long the surface lasts.

Compacted asphaltTypically 2 to 3 in. for a car drive
Stone baseTypically 4 to 8 in., compacted
Drive on itUsually 2 to 3 days, longer in heat
First sealcoatTypically 6 to 12 months after paving

Typical ranges. Your Terre du Lac estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Terre du Lac paving questions

Straight answers for Terre du Lac homeowners and property managers. Anything else, call (866) 490-7680.

Who handles paving on private community roads?

That is usually the homeowner association or a road board rather than a county. We can walk the roads, mark which sections need full rebuilding and which need an overlay, and price the work in phases so it can be budgeted over several years.

Do you serve Bonne Terre and Park Hills?

Yes. Bonne Terre is about four miles away and Park Hills about nine, and we work across St. Francois and Washington counties plus greater St. Louis. Estimates are free, and you get 25% off. Call (866) 490-7680.

What goes into the price of paving in Terre du Lac?

On a Terre du Lac job the price comes down to size, how much base work is needed, the asphalt thickness, whether old pavement has to come out, drainage fixes and how easily trucks can reach the work. Your written estimate lists each of those so you can compare it with other bids line by line.

Will asphalt hold up to farm equipment and delivery trucks?

It can, but it has to be built for that load. On Terre du Lac properties, heavy equipment needs a deeper base and a thicker mat than a car driveway. Tell us what actually drives on it, including grain trucks and trailers, and the estimate is sized to that.
