Main routes: Highway 161 and Highway Z
Highway 161 runs through Ashley about six miles south of Bowling Green, and most of the paving out here is driveways, parking lots, farm yards and lanes. A gravel drive that washes into ruts every spring, an old blacktop that never drained right, a yard apron that pumps mud after rain: same cause, different symptoms.
The community was platted in 1836 and named for William Henry Ashley, Missouri's lieutenant governor in the 1820s. We do plain work well. Soft material comes out, clean rock goes in and gets compacted, hot-mix asphalt is placed and rolled dense, and the grade sends water off the surface. Highway Z is the other way out of town.

Rural drives in this part of Pike County run long and often climb or fall along the way. We shape the grade first so water crosses and leaves, then build base to match the load, typically 2 to 3 inches of compacted asphalt over compacted rock for cars and pickups and more where grain trucks or equipment run. A long lane can be paved in sections instead of all at once.
Driveway pavingLot work here looks like a church, a shop, a small business yard or a farm equipment pad. We build the base for the heaviest vehicle that will sit on it, grade so water drains away from doors and slabs, and finish edges so they do not ravel. Sound older asphalt may need only crack repair and seal coating.
Parking lot pavingFarm lanes and field roads take steady truck weight in harvest season and sit mostly idle the rest of the year. Both matter. We build a compacted base, crown the surface, and use asphalt where traffic is regular or chip seal where it is light. Entrances off Highway 161 get extra thickness where tires turn.
Road constructionOut around Ashley, 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
Northeast Missouri's rolling farm ground carries clay-heavy soil that holds water well after a rain. Freeze-thaw winters then work that trapped water into anything above it. We keep water moving: grade to shed, ditch where runoff collects, remove soft subgrade and compact rock in layers before asphalt.
Before you sign anything, get the base depth and the compacted asphalt thickness on paper. Two bids that look far apart are often just two different pavements.

Yes. Bowling Green is about six miles north up Highway 161, and we work in both, along with St. Clement, Eolia and the rest of Pike County. Estimates are free and come with 25% off, and we will tell you plainly if a repair beats a repave.
It depends on traffic. Chip seal costs less and suits lanes used lightly by cars and pickups. Hot-mix asphalt holds up better under regular truck and equipment weight, especially at turns and stopping points. Either one needs a compacted base under it to last.
Most Ashley 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.
They matter more than the asphalt. A Ashley lane that holds water at the culvert will fail there first, so we look at ditches, the culvert and the crown before quoting the surface.
We pave all around Ashley, across Pike County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
