Main routes: Highway 50 and Highway 47
As the Franklin County seat since the 1820s and home of East Central College, Union carries daily traffic that a town its size would not otherwise see. Courthouse business, campus traffic and new commercial building all land on parking lots. We build and repair those, and we pave driveways across the growing subdivisions.
US 50 and Highway 47 meet in the city, I-44 is about five miles east, and Washington is roughly seven miles north on Highway 47. The town sits on rolling hills and farm ground on the northwest side of the Bourbeuse River, so grade changes are constant and drainage decides how long pavement lasts.

New subdivision drives and drives behind the older blocks fail in different ways. New ones settle where construction traffic compacted the ground unevenly; older ones lose their base. We remove failed material, compact rock in layers, and place hot-mix asphalt, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups, with the grade set to carry water away from the house.
Driveway pavingLots serving the courthouse area, the college, retail along US 50 and churches around town take heavy weekday turnover. We plan entrances, aisles and drainage together, size the base for delivery trucks and buses, and place asphalt in lifts. Larger lots can be paved in phases so parking stays available.
Parking lot pavingWe build and repave subdivision streets, private roads, farm lanes and commercial access drives. Each gets a graded, compacted base and a crown that sheds water, with asphalt thickness matched to the traffic. A street carrying school buses and delivery trucks needs far more base and asphalt than the driveways off it.
Road constructionGeneral asphalt paving in Union means matching the fix to the problem. Surface cracks on a firm base call for an overlay. Soft, sinking spots call for digging out and rebuilding the base first. We show you the difference on the walk-through.
Asphalt paving
Franklin County is Ozark foothill country, and the rolling hills and wooded groves around here sit above the Bourbeuse River. Slopes shed water fast and the flats hold it, and freeze-thaw winters exploit whatever is trapped under the pavement. We grade for runoff, strip soft soil, and compact rock in layers.
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 Union estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Cars can usually use it within a few days, weather depending. Keep heavy trucks and trailers off longer while the mix hardens. In hot weather, avoid leaving a vehicle parked in one spot on a fresh drive, and take turns slowly for the first few weeks.

No. Fresh asphalt in Union 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.
Most Union driveways are a one to two day job. You can usually walk on the surface the same evening and drive on it after a couple of days, so plan to park on the street for that stretch.
We pave all around Union, across Franklin County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
