Main routes: I-55, Highway 61, and Highway Y
Bloomsdale has an interstate exit and a US highway through the middle of it, which is unusual for a town this size. I-55 exit 157 at Route Y brings traffic in, and Highway 61 runs through town. Driveways off those roads and parking lots along them do most of the wearing out around here.
The settlement started in 1839 as La Fourche a Duclos, and the name most likely traces to a Catholic priest, Father Blume. Establishment Creek runs nearby. We pave drives, lots, yards and private lanes: soft material removed, clean rock compacted in layers, hot-mix asphalt rolled dense, and a grade that sheds water.

Drives here run from short town lots to long country lanes, and the long ones need drainage planning more than extra thickness. We set a cross slope so runoff leaves early, dig out soft subgrade, and compact clean rock before paving. Typical home drives get 2 to 3 inches of compacted hot-mix, more where trailers, campers or work trucks park and turn.
Driveway pavingNear an interstate exit, lots see trucks, and trucks find every weak spot. We build entrances, drive lanes and any truck parking thicker than the car bays, grade so water reaches planned drains, and rebuild the sections that have already broken through. A lot still in sound shape can be crack sealed and seal coated.
Parking lot pavingAccess roads, farm lanes and private drives around town cross karst ground where water finds its own paths. We build a compacted base, crown the surface, and place culverts where runoff crosses. Asphalt suits regular truck use, chip seal fits light traffic, and entrances off Highway 61 get extra base.
Road constructionAround Bloomsdale we see plenty of pavement that has been patched over and over. Sometimes one more patch is the right call. Sometimes a mill-and-overlay or a rebuild saves money over the next ten years. We will lay out both options so you can choose.
Asphalt paving
A karst plain of thick loess over limestone runs along the river side of Ste. Genevieve County, marked by sinkholes and sinkhole ponds. Water moves through it in ways the surface does not show, and soft spots appear where it collects. We check drainage first, dig out weak subgrade 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 Bloomsdale estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

They can. The karst plain along this side of the county is dotted with sinkholes and sinkhole ponds, so water can drain oddly and ground can settle. We look for signs of settling before building, and rebuild soft areas rather than paving across them.
Yes. Bloomsdale sits between them on Highway 61 with I-55 exit 157 right there, and we pave through this stretch and the rest of the county, along with greater St. Louis. Estimates are free, and you get 25% off.
Sometimes. If the base under your Bloomsdale 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.
Yes, and we phase it so the lot stays usable. Most small Bloomsdale lots are done in sections, with the entrance kept open where possible, so a business or a Sunday service is not shut out while the asphalt cures.
We pave all around Bloomsdale, across Ste. Genevieve County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
