Main routes: Highway 170 and Natural Bridge Road
Highway 170 meets Natural Bridge Road inside Bel-Ridge at exit 6, which puts a lot of traffic through a small city. Driveways here sit close to busy arterials, and the parking lots along Natural Bridge and North Hanley take turning trucks all day. Both wear from the edges in.
The city was a village from 1947 until residents voted to change that in 2015. We pave driveways and lots the same way either side of that line: failed material out, rock base compacted, hot-mix asphalt placed and rolled dense, grade set so water leaves the surface instead of standing on it.

Small lots mean short drives, and short drives still fail at the apron where they meet the street. That is where turning tires push and water collects. We rebuild the base under the apron, not just the surface, then place hot-mix asphalt, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups. Where a drive drops toward a garage, we set the grade so water is not carried to the door.
Driveway pavingBusinesses along Natural Bridge Road and North Hanley Road work with tight lots and heavy turning traffic. We build entrances and drive aisles thicker than the parking bays, grade so runoff reaches inlets instead of ponding in a corner, and rebuild curb edges that have ravelled. Sound asphalt can be crack sealed and seal coated rather than replaced.
Parking lot pavingApartment drives, service roads and short private streets carry delivery trucks, trash trucks and buses on pavement built for cars. We rebuild the base where those wheel paths have failed, crown the surface, and tie entrances into the public road cleanly so the joint does not break up first.
Road constructionNot every job is a full rebuild. On older Bel-Ridge pavement we often start with the smaller fixes: cutting out a failed patch, resetting a sunken section by the garage, or putting a fresh overlay over a surface whose base is still sound. We tell you which of those your asphalt actually needs, and we put it in writing.
Asphalt paving
Loess uplands cover most of St. Louis County, and the county soil survey warns that 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. Around an interstate interchange, runoff is concentrated. We grade for it 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 Bel-Ridge estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Usually we phase it. Half the lot gets demolition, base and paving while the other half stays open, then we switch. Fresh asphalt needs time before traffic, so the schedule matters more than how fast we can pave. We plan it with you before the first day.
The apron takes the most abuse: turning tires, the transition between two pavements, and water running along the street. If the base there is thin or wet, that section breaks up while the rest looks fine. Rebuilding the base under the apron is the lasting fix.
On a Bel-Ridge 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.
Yes. We set the finished grade at the garage so water runs away from the building rather than toward it, which on older Bel-Ridge homes is often the real reason the slab edge keeps taking on water.
We pave all around Bel-Ridge, across St. Louis County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
