Driveways and lots across Venedy

No state highway runs through Venedy. Route 15 passes about 2 miles to the south, and County Highway 12 carries most of what comes into the village. In a place of about 120 people, paving means private ground: the driveway, the shop pad, the yard where trucks turn, and the lane running out to the field.

Elkhorn Creek runs just north and the Kaskaskia River lies a few miles northwest, so water is never far from the surface here. We grade first, build a compacted rock base, then place hot-mix asphalt in lifts. Chip seal and recycled millings work well on longer lanes.

Driveway paving in Venedy

A driveway out here is usually a long run from the county road to the house and the outbuildings, carrying a pickup, a trailer and delivery trucks. We take out rutted gravel or broken asphalt, rebuild soft base, and place hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for a home drive. The apron at the road gets built to handle turning loads.

Parking lot paving in Venedy

Farm yards, shop pads and church lots make up the lot work here. Equipment and loaded trucks put far more weight on a small area than cars do, so base rock gets sized and compacted for that. We plan where vehicles turn, grade water to a planned outlet, then pave and roll in lifts.

Road construction & private roads

Field lanes and private roads off County Highway 12 do their hardest work when the ground is wet. We grade, compact base in layers and crown the surface so runoff goes to the ditch instead of pooling in the ruts. Asphalt handles the heaviest use; chip seal and millings cover longer, lighter stretches.

General asphalt paving & repair

A lot of rural pavement near Venedy fails at the edges, where water gets under the asphalt and tires break the shoulder down. Overlays, edge rebuilds and better drainage are often the fix. When the base is gone, we rebuild it before we pave.

Built for Venedy's ground

With Elkhorn Creek just north and the Kaskaskia a few miles off, low ground near the village stays damp well into spring. Clay-heavy soils common across the region hold that water, and freeze-thaw winters lift anything sitting on it. We dig out soft material, compact rock in layers and shape the grade for runoff.

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.

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 Venedy estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Venedy paving questions

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

Is a village this small worth a paving crew's time?

Yes. We pave in Washington County and across the wider St. Louis region, and a driveway or farm yard in Venedy gets scheduled like anything else. Tell us what you need on the phone and we will come look at it. Estimates are free and you get 25% off.

Can millings be used instead of asphalt on a long lane?

Often, yes. Recycled asphalt millings spread and compacted make a firm, lower-cost surface for a lane with light traffic. They will not hold up like hot mix under loaded trucks, so many owners pave the first stretch and run millings for the rest.

Is my part of Washington County in your service area?

Yes. We work in Venedy and throughout Washington 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.

How much of a long lane can you pave at once?

As much as the budget allows. Long lanes around Venedy are often done in stages, starting at the road or at the worst stretch. We build each stage so the next one ties in cleanly rather than leaving a lip where the work stopped.
