Main routes: Highway 141 and I-44
Highway 141 crosses the Meramec River into Valley Park and threads over and under the railroad tracks on its way through town. We pave driveways and parking lots across the city, from homes on the side streets to lots along Marshall Road, Meramec Station Road and Vance Road.
Most of the city sits on the river's north bank behind the Meramec Valley levee, which held through the big flood in March 2008. Ground like that rewards careful base work and honest grading. We dig out soft material, compact rock in layers, then place hot-mix asphalt and roll it while it is hot. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.
A driveway here may sit on bottomland that stays damp for days after a storm, which makes the base the whole job. We strip failed material, cut out soft spots and compact rock in layers before any asphalt goes down. Home drives typically get 2 to 3 inches of compacted hot mix, with the surface shaped so water runs to the sides and away from the garage apron.
Driveway pavingShops, churches and small industrial buildings near Marshall Road and Meramec Station Road need lots that carry delivery trucks without rutting. We set base depth to the heaviest load the lot will see, pave in lifts, and grade to planned low points so water leaves instead of standing. Work can be phased so part of the lot stays open.
Parking lot pavingPrivate roads, shop drives and access lanes toward the river take heavy tires and spring runoff. Each gets a compacted rock base, a crown that sheds water, and culverts sized for the ditch they cross. Recycled millings are a lower-cost surface for a lane that sees light traffic.
Road constructionAround Valley Park 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
Freeze-thaw winters do the damage here, and the clay-heavy soils common around St. Louis hold water long enough to make it worse. Water under pavement freezes, lifts and cracks the surface. We grade for runoff first, then build base rock in compacted lifts so the asphalt sits on something firm.
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.

It changes the base more than the asphalt. On low ground we dig deeper, remove soft soil and compact more rock so the surface has support when the ground is wet. Grading gets extra attention too, since flat bottomland gives water nowhere to go on its own.
Usually yes. We split the lot into sections and pave one at a time so customers and deliveries keep a path in. Fresh asphalt needs time to cure before heavy loads, so we plan the phases around that. Estimates are free, and you get 25% off.
Sometimes. If the base under your Valley Park 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 Valley Park 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 Valley Park, across St. Louis County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
