Main routes: Highway 94
A wine town brings visitors, and visitors bring parking. Driveways and parking lots in Augusta carry more weekend traffic than the population suggests, from winery and shop lots to home drives on the hills above the Missouri River valley. The Augusta AVA became the first federally recognized American Viticultural Area in 1980, and Highway 94 runs just north of town on the stretch between Defiance and Marthasville.
The Katy Trail passes through, and the bottomland between town and the river has been dry since an 1872 flood shifted the channel. We pave drives, lots and private lanes with a compacted rock base, hot-mix asphalt rolled dense, and grades that carry water off hillside surfaces.

Hill driveways need grade work before anything else. Water running down a slope will find the weakest edge and take the base with it. We shape the surface to shed sideways, build shoulders that hold, and place hot-mix asphalt, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted over compacted rock. Steep drives can get a coarser, higher-friction finish and thicker base at the turns and parking flats.
Driveway pavingWinery, restaurant, shop and guest house lots take heavy weekend use and delivery trucks midweek. We lay out entrances and flow, build base to match the loads, grade so water leaves at planned points, and keep gravel overflow areas from washing onto the pavement. Work can be phased so a lot stays usable through the season.
Parking lot pavingPrivate lanes to vineyards, homes and event spaces run through hills and trees, where runoff concentrates fast. We build them with a compacted base, a crown or cross slope that sheds, and culverts where the ground calls for one. Asphalt suits regular truck traffic, and chip seal fits quieter lanes.
Road constructionIn a town like Augusta, general asphalt work covers a lot of ground: shop and church lots, alley aprons, repairs along a curb line, overlays on older streets and pads for equipment. The approach stays the same: fix the base, lay the hot mix, roll it tight, finish the edges.
Asphalt paving
The wine country here sits in a bowl of hills, with the river valley to the south. Hillside ground moves water fast and takes base material with it when a surface is graded wrong. Clay-heavy soils common around the region hold what does soak in, and freeze-thaw winters do the rest. Drainage and compaction carry the job.
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.
Typical ranges. Your Augusta estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Usually. Slope changes how we build: thicker base at the bottom of the run, a surface graded to shed water sideways, and solid edges so runoff does not undercut them. Very steep drives may want a coarser mix for traction. We walk it with you during the free estimate.
Cars and light trucks are not the problem. Delivery, grease and trash trucks are, because they concentrate weight at turns and stops. We build those areas thicker and grade them to drain, so a lot handles busy weekends without rutting at the entrance.
Most Augusta 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.
Most Augusta estimates happen within a few days of your call, and jobs are usually scheduled a couple of weeks out depending on weather and the season. Booking early in the year gets the better dates.
We pave all around Augusta, across St. Charles County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
