Main routes: I-44, Highway N, and Highway C
Bourbon took its name from bourbon whiskey and now sits on I-44 between Sullivan and Cuba, with Highways N, C and J running out into the countryside. Driveways and parking lots make up most of the work here, along with farm lanes and private roads. Each one is a drainage question before it is a paving question.
A post office has operated here since 1853, and the city is part of the Crawford County R-I district. Ozark ground under town runs to cherty clay over dolomite, which holds water and moves with frost. We dig out the weak layer, compact clean rock, then place and roll hot-mix asphalt on a grade that drains. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.
Country drives around here run long, climb and fall, and carry trailers, trucks and equipment along with cars. We set grade so water crosses and leaves instead of running the length of the drive, build base for the heaviest load, and place hot-mix asphalt, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups. Long lanes can be paved in sections over time.
Driveway pavingLots along the highway corridor and in town serve shops, service businesses, churches and a school. Trucks and buses concentrate weight at entrances and turns, so we build those areas thicker, grade the lot to drain at planned points, and rebuild the spots that have already failed. Tight pavement gets crack sealing and seal coating.
Parking lot pavingFarm lanes and private roads out toward Leasburg and St. Cloud cross hills and hollows where runoff concentrates. We build a compacted base, crown the surface, and set culverts where water crosses. Chip seal suits lightly used lanes, asphalt suits ones carrying regular truck weight, and entrances off state routes get extra base.
Road constructionIn a town like Bourbon, general asphalt work covers a lot of ground: shop and church lots, alley aprons, repairs along a curb line, overlays on older streets and pads for equipment. The approach stays the same: fix the base, lay the hot mix, roll it tight, finish the edges.
Asphalt paving
Crawford County's Ozark uplands formed from cherty dolomite, limestone and sandstone, and ridgetop soils commonly have a fragipan over red cherty clay. Water perches on that layer instead of soaking through. Springs and caves in the carbonate rock move it in unseen ways. We drain, dig out soft ground and compact rock in layers.
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 Bourbon estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.
Straight answers for Bourbon homeowners and property managers. Anything else, call (866) 490-7680.
It cuts both ways. Chert and rock make a firm foundation where they are solid, but the clay layers between them hold water and soften. We look for the soft seams, dig them out and replace them with compacted rock so the whole section carries the load evenly.
Yes. Bourbon sits between Sullivan and Cuba on I-44, with Leasburg and St. Cloud close by, and we pave driveways, lots and lanes through that stretch and the rest of the area. Estimates are free, and you get 25% off.
No. Fresh asphalt in Bourbon needs time to cure before it is sealed, typically several months and often up to a year. Sealing too early can trap oils in the pavement. After that, sealing every few years helps it resist water, sun and salt.
Only if the grade changes. Paving over a low spot in Bourbon leaves the same low spot in a smoother surface. We measure the fall first and tell you what it takes to move the water.
We pave all around Bourbon, across Crawford County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
