Main routes: I-44, Highway 100, and Highway M
Exit 251 off I-44 puts you at Villa Ridge, where Highway 100 heads west toward Washington. We pave driveways and parking lots through this part of northeastern Franklin County, along with the long lanes that run back from Highway M to homes, shops and fields.
The community takes its name from a ridge near the original town site, and the ground matches: cherty red clay over dolomite is common on this end of the Salem Plateau, with caves, springs and sinkholes scattered through it. We build a compacted rock base, place hot-mix asphalt in lifts and grade so water leaves. Estimates are free and the work is 25% off. Call (866) 490-7680.
Long drives are common out here, running a few hundred feet from the road to the house. The problems repeat: ruts where water runs down the wheel tracks, and a soft spot where the ground stays wet. We crown the surface so runoff heads to the shoulders, dig out the soft ground, compact rock and pave with hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for home use.
Driveway pavingBusinesses near the interchange, along with churches and shop pads on Highway M, need lots that carry trucks year round. We match base depth to the heaviest load, pave in lifts, and set the grade so water reaches a planned outlet. Once new asphalt has cured for months, seal coating helps the surface hold up.
Parking lot pavingPrivate roads, farm lanes and field access drives take tractors, grain trucks and heavy rain. We build a compacted base, crown the running surface, cut ditches where they are needed and size culverts to the flow. Chip seal and recycled millings are practical surfaces for a long lane that sees light use.
Road constructionFarm yards, equipment pads, church lots and long country drives around Villa Ridge 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
Freeze and thaw work on pavement every winter, and cherty clay subsoil drains slowly once it is saturated. Water under the base is what heaves and breaks a surface. We grade for drainage first, remove soft material and compact rock in layers, then set asphalt thickness to the traffic the drive or lot actually carries.
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 Villa Ridge estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Yes, and gravel often makes a good starting point because some base is already there. We regrade it, add and compact rock where it is thin, dig out soft spots, then pave with hot mix. Long drives need a crown and clear shoulders so water does not run down the middle.
Yes. We cover this side of Franklin County, including Union, Pacific, Gray Summit and Washington, plus greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Estimates are free, and you get 25% off the work. Call (866) 490-7680 to set one up.
Sometimes. If the base under your Villa Ridge 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.
They matter more than the asphalt. A Villa Ridge 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 Villa Ridge, across Franklin County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
