Long driveways, turnarounds and small lots paved in Westwood, graded so shaded ground still drains.

Conway Road runs past Westwood Country Club, which moved out this way around 1927 when the land was still farm ground. The village that grew around it stayed small, about 300 people, and almost entirely homes. Driveway work is the core of what we do here, with parking lots for the club, churches and offices nearby.
Lots in this part of central St. Louis County are wide and wooded, and the drives are long enough to show every mistake in grading. We set the fall so water leaves the surface, dig out soft soil, compact rock in layers and place hot-mix asphalt in lifts, rolled while it is hot. Estimates are free and the work is 25% off.

Long, curving drives under mature trees are the norm here. Shade keeps them damp, roots lift the edges, and low spots collect water that freezes. We rebuild the base where it has softened, trim roots where it can be done safely, and pave with hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for home use. Turnarounds, side pads and a clean apron go in with it.
Driveway pavingClub parking, church lots and small office lots in this area take event traffic in waves rather than all day. That still calls for a base built to the heaviest vehicle, asphalt placed in lifts, and a grade that carries water to a planned low point. Work can be phased around a schedule so the lot stays usable.
Parking lot pavingPrivate drives and shared lanes here often serve only a few homes but still carry trash trucks, delivery vans and landscaping trailers. We compact the base in layers, crown the surface for drainage and match asphalt thickness to the real traffic. A shared lane can be priced as one run so every owner sees the same plan.
Road constructionGeneral asphalt work in Westwood covers the jobs that do not fit neatly in a box: alley aprons, walkways, basketball pads, repairs where a utility trench was cut, and overlays that bring a tired surface back. Each one gets the same treatment: a clean edge, a sound base and hot mix rolled tight.
Asphalt paving
Upland soils across the county are mostly loess, and the county soil survey warns that local roads on them need adequate base material along with side ditches and culverts, because of low strength and frost action. Shaded ground dries slowly, which makes drainage matter more. We grade for it, build base, then pave.
Bids are only comparable when they spell out the same things: base depth, compacted thickness, how edges are finished, and where water is meant to go. Ask for those before you pick a number.

Drainage, mostly. We set a crown or cross slope so water leaves the surface rather than sitting on it, clear the shoulders so runoff has an exit, and rebuild base where the ground has stayed soft. Thicker asphalt over a wet base does not last; normal asphalt over a dry base does.
Yes. We work across this part of St. Louis County, including Frontenac, Creve Coeur, Ladue, Town and Country and Des Peres, plus the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Estimates are free and the work is 25% off.
Most Westwood driveways are paved in one to two days once the base is ready, with more time if the old surface has to come out or the base needs rebuilding. You can usually walk on it the same day and drive on it after a few days, depending on the weather.
Usually yes. Tight drives around Westwood are normal work: we size the equipment to the access, hand-work the pinch points along fences and garages, and roll every foot of it. If a spot truly cannot be machine-paved, we tell you before you sign anything.
We pave all around Westwood, across St. Louis County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
