Main routes: I-170
The name comes from Vinita Station, an electric rail car stop that once stood where Midland Boulevard meets Page Avenue. Those two streets still carry the traffic, and we pave driveways and parking lots along them and on the residential blocks in between.
The city started as a subdivision platted in 1905, became a village in 1941 and a city in 1950, then took in neighboring Vinita Terrace in 2017. Housing that old often sits on tired base rock. We remove what has failed, compact new rock in layers and place hot-mix asphalt, rolled while it is hot. Access is easy here, just east of I-170. Free estimate at (866) 490-7680, with 25% off.
Most drives here are single width, running past the house to a garage or a rear pad. Age shows first at the apron and along the open edges. We cut back to solid material, rebuild the base where it has gone soft, and place hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for a home driveway. The finished grade sends water toward the street, not back at the foundation.
Driveway pavingSmall offices, shops, churches and apartment buildings near Page Avenue and Midland Boulevard need lots built for daily turnover and the occasional delivery truck. We lay out parking and drainage together, set base depth to the heaviest load, and pave in lifts. New asphalt needs curing time before heavy traffic, and we plan the schedule around that.
Parking lot pavingApartment access drives, shared lanes and private roads in this part of the county carry trash trucks and delivery vans on a fixed schedule. Those need more base and more asphalt than a car drive. We compact the base in layers, crown the surface for drainage and match thickness to the real load.
Road constructionPlenty of Vinita Park pavement just needs the right repair at the right time. Full-depth patches, overlays and edge rebuilds stretch the life of what you already have. When a surface is past saving, we say so and quote the rebuild instead.
Asphalt paving
Upland soils across the county are mostly loess, and the county soil survey notes that local streets on them need adequate base material along with side ditches and culverts, because of low strength and frost action. Driveways follow the same logic: drainage, then compacted rock, then asphalt in lifts.
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.
Typical ranges. Your Vinita Park estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Often yes. If the rest of the drive is solid, we saw a clean line, rebuild the base at the apron and patch it with hot mix. If the failure runs further back, a partial fix will not hold, and we will tell you that during the free estimate.
Yes. Vinita Terrace consolidated into Vinita Park in 2017, and we work throughout the city, plus Overland, Charlack, St. John and the neighboring towns. Estimates are free and the work is 25% off. Call (866) 490-7680 to set one up.
Sometimes. If the base under your Vinita 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.
Plan on keeping cars off new asphalt for two to three days in mild weather, and longer through a hot Vinita Park summer. Fresh pavement stays soft while it cures, so turning tires on a parked car is what leaves scuff marks.
We pave all around Vinita Park, across St. Louis County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
