Main routes: I-55, Highway 61-67, and Highway M
Between the interstate and the highway, Barnhart runs on Route M. I-55 exit 185 is signed for Barnhart and Antonia, and Route M carries traffic east from there to Highway 61-67. Driveways and parking lots along that stretch take the wear, and the homes off it have drives long enough that drainage decides how they age.
The place took its name in the early 1900s when the Frisco railroad came through, and the 1860 James O'Fallon Home, now called the Parkton Mansion, still stands here. This is unincorporated Jefferson County, so roads and permits run through the county. We build with compacted rock, hot-mix asphalt rolled dense, and a grade that sheds water. Free estimates, and you get 25% off.
Drives here run longer than a city lot allows, often up or down a grade and sometimes over ground that stays soft in spring. We shape the grade so water crosses and leaves, dig out the soft spots, compact rock in layers, then place hot-mix asphalt, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for a home drive and thicker where a work truck or camper parks.
Driveway pavingAlong Route M and Highway 61-67, lots serve shops, service businesses, churches and storage yards. Each needs base sized for the trucks that actually use it, entrances built where turning tires load the pavement hardest, and grades that drain away from buildings. Older lots in sound shape may need only crack repair and seal coating.
Parking lot pavingPrivate roads and shared drives off Route M carry several households on one surface, which wears faster than any single driveway. We build a compacted base, crown the surface and firm the edges. Access roads to shops, yards and equipment areas get a thicker section where loaded trucks turn and stop.
Road constructionGeneral asphalt paving in Barnhart 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
Jefferson County soils include cherty red clay over limestone on the slopes and loess on the ridges near the Mississippi. Both hold water, and slopes over 20 percent are common in the north of the county. Freeze-thaw winters lift pavement on a wet base, so we drain first, compact second and pave last.
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 Barnhart estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Barnhart is unincorporated, so Jefferson County handles roads and permits rather than a city hall. That matters most at the apron where a drive meets a public road. We figure out what your address requires before work starts, and estimates are free.
Asphalt helps, but only if the reason is fixed first. Washing usually means water runs along the drive instead of across it. We regrade, add a crown or cross slope, ditch where needed, then build base and pave. Otherwise a new surface fails the same way.
Sometimes. If the base under your Barnhart pavement is still solid and the surface only has shallow cracking, an overlay can work well. If the pavement is sinking, rutting or breaking into alligator cracks, the base has failed and it needs to be rebuilt first. The free estimate is where we sort that out.
We keep trucks on the drive where we can and flag anything close to the work on your Barnhart property. Mark sprinkler heads and invisible fence lines before we start, and we will work around them. Minor lawn scuffing along the edge is normal and easy to repair.
We pave all around Barnhart, across Jefferson County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
