Main routes: Highway 67 and Highway 94
Where the Missouri meets the Mississippi, the ground at the confluence sits about 397 feet above sea level, the lowest point in St. Charles County. A pole at Confluence Point State Park marks the 1993 flood at 438.2 feet. Everything we pave out here, driveways and parking lots alike, starts with where the water goes.
Highway 94 ends at Highway 67 in town, and Highway 67 carries on over the Clark Bridge into Alton. Floodplain ground needs more base and better grading than upland does, so we dig out soft material, compact rock in layers and place hot-mix asphalt in lifts. Estimates are free and the work is 25% off. Call (866) 490-7680.
A driveway on river bottom has to carry weight over soft ground, which makes the base the whole job. We strip what has failed, dig deeper where the soil is weak, and compact rock in layers until it holds. Hot mix goes down at a typical 2 to 3 inches compacted for home use, with the surface graded so water sheets off instead of soaking the edges.
Driveway pavingChurch lots, shop pads, farm yards and the parking at the river access points take trucks, trailers and boat rigs. We build base to the heaviest of those, pave in lifts and grade so water heads for a planned outlet. On low ground the grade matters as much as the mix, so we set it first.
Parking lot pavingPrivate roads, field lanes and farm access drives out on the peninsula take heavy equipment and standing water in the same year. We compact the base, crown the running surface, and size culverts for the ditches they cross. Recycled millings and chip seal suit a long lane that carries light traffic.
Road constructionAround West Alton we see plenty of pavement that has been patched over and over. Sometimes one more patch is the right call. Sometimes a mill-and-overlay or a rebuild saves money over the next ten years. We will lay out both options so you can choose.
Asphalt paving
This is low-lying floodplain, and saturated ground plus freeze-thaw winters is the hardest combination asphalt faces. Water that gets under a surface stays there and lifts it. We remove soft soil, compact rock in lifts to build real support, and grade every surface so runoff has somewhere to go before winter.
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.
Typical ranges. Your West Alton estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

It changes the base. On low ground we excavate deeper, take out more soft soil and compact more rock so the surface has support when everything is wet. Grading gets extra attention, since flat bottomland does not drain on its own. The free estimate covers all of that.
Yes. We pave in West Alton and across the river in Alton, Godfrey, East Alton and Wood River, plus the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides. Highway 67 makes the trip short either direction. Estimates are free, and you get 25% off.
Sometimes. If the base under your West Alton 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.
Yes, and we phase it so the lot stays usable. Most small West Alton lots are done in sections, with the entrance kept open where possible, so a business or a Sunday service is not shut out while the asphalt cures.
We pave all around West Alton, across St. Charles County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
