Driveways and lots across Waterloo

Waterloo sits on a ridge that sheds water two ways, east toward the Kaskaskia and west toward the Mississippi. The city grew on the old trail from Kaskaskia to St. Louis, and the Peterstown House at the north end of Main Street has stood there since 1830. We pave driveways and parking lots across town and out into the county.

Route 3 runs along the west side, bypassing downtown, while Route 156 comes through on Park, Church, 4th, Market and Front streets. Older pavement near the historic district and newer subdivision drives on the edges need different work but the same fundamentals: base, drainage, clean edges. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.

Driveway paving in Waterloo

Newer subdivision drives on the edge of town often crack early because the base was thin under fill that has since settled. Older drives closer to Main Street usually need failed sections cut out entirely. We rebuild the base either way, then place hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for a home drive, and shape the edges so they hold.

Parking lot paving in Waterloo

Business lots along Route 3 and Route 156, church lots and office lots downtown all take delivery trucks and steady turning traffic. We build base rock for the real load, lay out entrances and flow, and grade so water leaves the surface. Work can be phased by section so a business stays open through it.

Parking lot paving

Road construction & private roads

Subdivision streets, private roads and farm lanes around the county carry garbage trucks, buses and grain haulers. We compact base in layers, crown the surface and set the grade so water reaches the ditch or the inlet. Chip seal and recycled millings fit lanes with lighter traffic.

General asphalt paving & repair

General asphalt paving in Waterloo means matching the fix to the problem. Surface cracks on a firm base call for an overlay. Soft, sinking spots call for digging out and rebuilding the base first. We show you the difference on the walk-through.

Built for Waterloo's ground

Ridge ground sheds water fast, but much of upland Monroe County is sinkhole plain, where soil and residuum cover creviced limestone and collapse features can damage pavement. Add clay-heavy soils and freeze-thaw winters, and base preparation matters more here than most places. We check the ground, remove soft material and compact rock in lifts.

A cheap bid usually gets cheap somewhere you cannot see. Ask what depth of stone goes down, how thick the asphalt is after rolling, and who fixes it if water still stands.

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

Waterloo paving questions

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

Do you pave in Columbia and out toward Valmeyer?

Yes. Columbia is about 9 miles north and Valmeyer about 8 west, and we pave across Monroe County and greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Driveways, lots, subdivision streets and private roads are all part of it. Estimates are free and you get 25% off.

Are there extra considerations paving near sinkhole ground?

Yes. Water draining straight down instead of running off can move soil under a pavement. Before paving we look for repeating low spots and cracks in a line, and we build drainage that carries water to a controlled outlet rather than letting it soak in at the edges.

Is my part of Monroe County in your service area?

Yes. We work in Waterloo 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.

Will paving damage my lawn or sprinkler heads?

We keep trucks on the drive where we can and flag anything close to the work on your Waterloo property. Mark sprinkler heads and invisible fence lines before we start, and we will work around them. Minor lawn scuffing along the edge is normal and easy to repair.
