Hot-mix asphalt, laid right in Webster Groves

Five communities merged in 1896 to make one city: Webster, Old Orchard, Webster Park, Tuxedo Park and Selma. That history still shows in streets that change character block to block. We pave driveways across all of them, plus parking lots for the businesses and churches along Lockwood, Big Bend and Elm.

Tree-lined streets and older single-family homes mean older drives, narrow access and roots. We work around them: remove the failed material, rebuild and compact the base, then lay hot-mix asphalt in lifts and roll it hot. The Elm Avenue exit off I-44 is signed for the historic downtown and Webster University. Free estimate at (866) 490-7680, with 25% off.

Driveway paving in Webster Groves

A long drive beside a century-old house is a different job from a short one at a newer build. The old ones usually have thin base rock, settled low spots and root damage along the edges. We dig out what has failed, compact fresh rock in layers, then place hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for a home drive. Slope is set so water runs to the street rather than toward the basement.

Parking lot paving in Webster Groves

Lots along Lockwood Avenue, Big Bend Boulevard and Elm Avenue serve shops, restaurants, churches and school traffic that all peak at different hours. We plan the layout, the entrances and the drainage together, build base for delivery trucks, and pave in lifts. Phasing keeps part of a lot open while the rest cures.

Road construction & private roads

Private drives, church lanes and condo access roads here carry trash trucks, buses and moving vans. A surface sized for cars will not hold that. We compact the base in layers, crown the running surface so water leaves it, and match asphalt thickness to what actually uses the road.

General asphalt paving & repair

Not every job is a full rebuild. On older Webster Groves pavement we often start with the smaller fixes: cutting out a failed patch, resetting a sunken section by the garage, or putting a fresh overlay over a surface whose base is still sound. We tell you which of those your asphalt actually needs, and we put it in writing.

Why the base matters in Webster Groves

The high ground here was called the Dry Ridge long before the city existed, but dry ground still freezes. Loess over clay is the norm across St. Louis County, and the county soil survey calls for real base material plus ditches and culverts on local streets. We grade for water first, then compact rock, then pave.

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.

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

Webster Groves paving questions

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

Tree roots have lifted my driveway. Can that be fixed?

Usually. We open the lifted area, trim roots where it can be done without harming the tree, rebuild and compact the base, then repave that section or the whole drive. Roots keep growing, so we also set the grade so water does not pond in the low spot they created.

Do you pave near Webster University and the historic downtown?

Yes. We do driveways, church lots and business lots throughout the city, including the blocks around Webster University and Eden Theological Seminary. Access is often tight there, so we plan equipment and staging ahead of the work. The estimate is free and the work is 25% off.

Do you pave in Webster Groves in the winter?

Hot-mix asphalt needs warm air and warm ground to compact properly, and the plants serving Webster Groves typically run from spring into late fall. Winter is a good time to get your estimate and book a spot for the season.

My drive sits lower than the street. Can that be fixed?

Often it can. A settled apron on a Webster Groves drive usually means the base under it gave way. We dig out the soft material, rebuild with compacted stone, and reset the grade so water leaves the drive instead of pooling at the garage.
