Around sixty people live in this village up in northern Lincoln County, platted in 1882 and incorporated in 1907. Out here a driveway is usually long, and a parking lot usually belongs to a church, a shop or a farm. We build both on compacted rock with hot-mix asphalt placed in lifts.
The village takes its name from William Whiteside, who owned the original town site, and the children attend Pike County R-III. The ground around it is rolling loess and glacial till farmland. The county soil survey lists low strength, frost action and shrink-swell as the road limits on those soils, and recommends a crushed-rock base. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate with 25% off.
A drive out here may run several hundred feet from a county road to the house, crossing more than one kind of ground on the way. We walk the whole run, crown the surface, cut shoulders so runoff has an exit, dig out the soft spots and compact rock in layers. Home drives typically finish at 2 to 3 inches of compacted hot mix, with more depth where a truck turns.
Driveway pavingChurch lots, shop pads and farm yards near here carry tractors, grain trucks and trailers, not just cars. Base depth is set to the heaviest of those. We pave in lifts, roll each one hot, and grade the surface so water reaches a planned outlet instead of standing where vehicles park.
Parking lot pavingFarm lanes, field access roads and shared private drives connect houses and ground to the county roads. Each gets a compacted base, a crown, solid shoulders and culverts sized to the ditch. Chip seal and recycled millings are practical surfaces for a long lane that mostly sees light traffic.
Road constructionOut around Whiteside, general asphalt work often means shop pads, machine-shed aprons, turnarounds for trucks and trailers, and the stretch of lane where gravel keeps washing out. We build those with drainage and heavy tires in mind.
Asphalt paving
Loess and glacial till uplands drain slowly and move with the seasons, swelling when wet and shrinking when dry, and frost lifts whatever sits on them. The county soil survey answers that with crushed rock in the base and roads that shed water to ditches and culverts. We build drives and lots the same way.
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.

Yes. A single driveway or one church lot is a normal job. We serve greater St. Louis on both sides of the river and out into the surrounding counties, and northern Lincoln County is part of that. Estimates are free and the work is 25% off.
Often yes. Existing gravel gives us something to work with. We regrade it, add and compact rock where it is thin, dig out soft ground, then pave or chip seal depending on the traffic. A long lane needs a crown and clear shoulders so water does not run down the middle.
Yes. We work in Whiteside and throughout Lincoln 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.
Both cost less than hot mix and both work well on long drives around Whiteside. Chip seal gives a tough, textured surface; compacted millings bind tighter than gravel and cut the dust. We will walk the lane and tell you honestly where each one makes sense.
