Main routes: Route 156
After the Great Flood of 1993, Valmeyer moved about 2 miles east and more than 300 feet up, off the Mississippi floodplain and onto higher ground. That makes for an unusual mix of paving work: newer driveways and lots on the upland site, and older pavement still down at the original townsite.
Route 156 runs along the southern edge of the new village and on through the old townsite, with Bluff Road below in the bottoms. We pave driveways and parking lots in both places, on a compacted rock base under hot-mix asphalt. Farm lanes and private access roads are part of the work.

Bluff-top drives sit on ground that was graded and filled when the new village was built, and settlement shows up over time as low spots and cracking. We rebuild those areas rather than paving over them, then place hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for a home drive. Down in the bottoms, the problem is usually a soft, wet base instead.
Driveway pavingChurches, shops, shop pads and farm yards here need lots that take trucks and equipment, not just cars. We build base rock to match the load, set the entrance and the turning path, and grade so water runs clear of the pavement. A lot still sound underneath can take an overlay or seal coating instead of a rebuild.
Parking lot pavingPrivate roads and field lanes run between the bluff and the bottoms, and the change in grade makes water control the main job. We compact the base in layers, crown the surface and build the shoulders so runoff leaves to the ditch rather than cutting along the edge. Chip seal and millings suit lighter-use lanes.
Road constructionFarm yards, equipment pads, church lots and long country drives around Valmeyer 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
Much of upland Monroe County is sinkhole plain, where loess, till and bedrock residuum sit over creviced limestone, and the Illinois State Geological Survey advises examining ground carefully before building on it. We check drainage and soft spots before setting base, compact rock in lifts, and grade so water leaves the surface instead of soaking down.
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.
Typical ranges. Your Valmeyer estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Yes. Route 156 runs through the old townsite and Bluff Road runs the bottoms, and we pave driveways, lots, farm lanes and access roads down there as well as up on the bluff. Estimates are free and you get 25% off.
Low spots that keep coming back, cracks that open along one line, and water that disappears instead of running off. Those are worth looking at before paving, because new asphalt over moving ground follows it down. We check the site when we come out to quote.
Yes. We work in Valmeyer and throughout Monroe County, along with the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Call or send the form with your address and we will set up a time to look at the job.
They matter more than the asphalt. A Valmeyer 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 Valmeyer, across Monroe County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
