Locals know this place as Patterson as often as Wilmington, and it carries its own ZIP code, 62078. No state or US highway runs through it, so you arrive on county and township roads. That means driveways and the parking at shops and churches here are almost all built off local pavement, and drainage has to be handled on the property itself.
The process is the same one we use everywhere. Set the grade, cut out soft material, compact a rock base in layers, then place hot mix and roll it tight while it is hot. Farm lanes and private roads get the same care. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate that comes with 25% off.
A country drive out of Patterson Township often runs a few hundred feet from a township road to the house, and every foot of it has to shed water. We crown the surface, compact the rock base to match the traffic, and place hot mix at a typical 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups, deeper where a truck or tractor uses it.
Driveway pavingParking in a village this small means a church lot, a farm yard or the pad beside a shop building. Those carry loaded trucks and equipment, so the base gets the depth and the grade gets the attention. We build the entrance at the county road heavier, because turning under load is what breaks the weakest point.
Parking lot pavingWith no highway through the village, nearly every surface past the township road is private: shared lanes, field entrances and access drives. A crown over a compacted base and an open ditch line keep them usable through a wet spring. Chip seal and recycled asphalt are practical where traffic is light and the lane is long.
Road constructionA lot of rural pavement near Wilmington fails at the edges, where water gets under the asphalt and tires break the shoulder down. Overlays, edge rebuilds and better drainage are often the fix. When the base is gone, we rebuild it before we pave.
Asphalt paving
Northwest Greene County ground holds moisture in its silty soils, and saturated base material under a hard freeze lifts and cracks asphalt. The fix is drainage, built in from the start. We grade the surface to an outlet, compact rock in layers and keep the edges supported so runoff cannot undercut them.
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.
Typical ranges. Your Wilmington estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Usually, but we check first. Before scheduling we ask about the route in, any weight-limited bridge and the tightest turn, so the equipment that arrives fits the access. If it is a problem, you hear about it at the estimate, not on the work day.
Yes. All three are close by, and we cover them along with the rest of Greene County and greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Driveways, parking lots, farm lanes and private roads are all regular work. Estimates are free.
Hot-mix asphalt needs warm air and warm ground to compact properly, and the plants serving Wilmington typically run from spring into late fall. Winter is a good time to get your estimate and book a spot for the season.
Usually yes, and it is a common question on Wilmington lanes. We plan the approach before the day of paving, and building a turnaround into the job often costs less than you would expect while making the drive far more usable.
We pave all around Wilmington, across Greene County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
