Main routes: Manchester Road and Highway 141
Manchester Road is the main line through Ballwin, and the driveways and parking lots along it and behind it make up most of our work in west St. Louis County. Subdivisions built through the postwar decades are now on their second or third generation of asphalt, and the drives that fail first are the ones where water never had a way off.
Route 141 and parts of Clayton Road trace some of the city's boundaries, and the northern part of Castlewood State Park, with its limestone bluffs above the Meramec, lies inside the city. We rebuild base, place hot-mix asphalt in lifts, roll it dense and grade it to drain. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.
A driveway here usually sits on a graded subdivision lot, which means the grade was set decades ago and has moved since. We check where water goes before we build. Failed material comes out, the base gets rebuilt and compacted, and hot-mix asphalt goes down, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups. Widening for a second car or adding a turnaround fits in the same job.
Driveway pavingManchester Road business lots, office and medical drives, church lots and subdivision parking all take constant turning traffic. We build base for delivery trucks, grade to planned drains instead of low corners, and rebuild the entrances that take the worst of it. An overlay works on sound pavement, and seal coating suits asphalt that is still tight.
Parking lot pavingSubdivision streets and private drives in west county fail in the wheel paths first, then at the edges. We rebuild with compacted base, a proper crown and tight edges so water does not run under the pavement. Access drives at apartment buildings, schools and commercial buildings get a thicker section where trucks stop.
Road constructionGeneral asphalt paving in Ballwin means matching the fix to the problem. Surface cracks on a firm base call for an overlay. Soft, sinking spots call for digging out and rebuilding the base first. We show you the difference on the walk-through.
Asphalt paving
St. Louis County uplands formed in loess, and the county soil survey says local roads and streets on many of those soils need adequate base plus ditches and culverts to prevent damage from low strength and frost action. Near the Meramec, ground is lower and wetter. We grade for runoff and compact rock in layers.
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 Ballwin estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Most run one to two days: demolition and base work first, paving after. Weather and size change that, and a drive that needs the base rebuilt takes longer than one getting a straight replacement. We give you a schedule with the free estimate rather than a guess.
We can phase a commercial lot so part of it stays usable, and schedule the heaviest work when traffic is lightest. Fresh asphalt needs time before vehicles park on it, so we plan the sequence with you first and keep entrances open as much as possible.
On a Ballwin job the price comes down to size, how much base work is needed, the asphalt thickness, whether old pavement has to come out, drainage fixes and how easily trucks can reach the work. Your written estimate lists each of those so you can compare it with other bids line by line.
Unsupported edges. When the ground beside a Ballwin driveway settles or gets driven on, the asphalt has nothing holding it up and breaks off. Rebuilding the edge and backfilling it properly is what stops it.
We pave all around Ballwin, across St. Louis County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
