Main routes: Highway 67, Highway 47, and Highway K
Red clay over limestone is the ground under Bonne Terre, and it is hard on pavement built without drainage. Driveways, business lots and church parking lots across town sit on rolling Ozark hills where water runs fast on the slopes and stands in the flats. The town grew around the St. Joe lead mine, worked from 1864 to 1962.
Highway 47 ends at Highway 67 here, at an interchange that also serves Route K. The 1909 depot on Oak Street and the old lead company administration building are both on the National Register. We build drives and lots the same way: soft material out, clean rock compacted in layers, hot-mix asphalt rolled dense, grade set to drain. Free estimates, and you get 25% off.
Hill drives here pick up speed, and water goes wherever the grade lets it. We shape a cross slope so runoff leaves early, firm the shoulders, and build base heavy enough for pickups and trailers. Typical home drives get 2 to 3 inches of compacted hot-mix over compacted rock, thicker at the turnaround and the parking flat. Red clay subgrade gets dug out where it is soft.
Driveway pavingDowntown storefronts, churches, mine tour visitors and businesses along Highway 67 all need lots that handle turning trucks and steady parking. We build entrances and drive aisles thicker than the bays, grade so water reaches planned drains, and repair failed areas down to the base. Sound pavement can be crack sealed and seal coated.
Parking lot pavingPrivate roads, subdivision streets and access drives around town run over hills and old mining ground. We rebuild them on a compacted base with a crown that sheds and culverts where water crosses. Asphalt suits regular truck use, chip seal suits quieter lanes, and entrances off Highway 67 or Route K get extra thickness.
Road constructionAround Bonne Terre 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
Rolling Ozark hills with red clay over limestone drain unevenly: fast down the slopes, slow in the flats. Freeze-thaw winters then lift anything above trapped water. Chat piles from the mining era still sit around the area. We plan drainage first, dig out soft clay, and compact clean rock in layers before asphalt.
When you compare bids, ask each contractor for three numbers in writing: the compacted asphalt thickness, the base depth, and what happens to the water. Those three decide how long the surface lasts.
Typical ranges. Your Bonne Terre estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

It is if you pave straight on it. Clay holds water, softens under load and moves with frost. We dig out the weak material, replace it with clean rock compacted in layers and grade the surface so water leaves. Built that way, clay ground supports pavement fine.
Yes. Bonne Terre, Desloge, Leadwood and Park Hills sit close together along Highway 67, and we pave driveways, lots and private roads across that area and the rest of St. Francois County. Estimates are free, and you get 25% off.
On a Bonne Terre 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.
Both. Patching a failed section, filling cracks before winter and rebuilding an apron are regular work in Bonne Terre. We will tell you honestly when patching is throwing good money after bad.
We pave all around Bonne Terre, across St. Francois County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
