Your Bowling Green paving crew

County seat traffic keeps the parking lots busy in Bowling Green: courthouse business, the square, the shops and the highway corridor. Driveways in the neighborhoods off Main and Court streets are the other half of the work. Highway 61 passes as the Avenue of the Saints, with Business 61 running through town.

The Champ Clark House on East Champ Clark Drive, built in 1888 and bought in 1898 by the Speaker of the U.S. House, is a National Historic Landmark. Highway 54 crosses here too, and Highway 161 ends at Business 61. We build on a compacted rock base with hot-mix asphalt rolled dense and graded to drain. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.

Driveway paving in Bowling Green

Older homes near the courthouse square came with narrow drives on thin base, while newer edges of town have longer drives on graded lots. Both fail where water sits. We take out failed material, rebuild and compact the base, and place hot-mix asphalt, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups, thicker where trucks and trailers park.

Driveway paving

Parking lot paving in Bowling Green

Lots around the square, along Business 61 and at churches and schools take delivery trucks, buses and steady turning traffic. We build entrances and drive aisles thicker than parking bays, grade to planned drains instead of low corners, and rebuild areas already broken through. Pavement still tight gets crack sealing and seal coating.

Parking lot paving

Road construction & private roads

Private roads, subdivision streets and farm lanes around town fail in the wheel paths and at the edges. We rebuild with compacted base, crown the surface and firm the shoulders. Entrances onto Business 61, Highway 54 or Highway 161 get extra thickness where turning trucks load the pavement hardest.

General asphalt paving & repair

In a town like Bowling Green, 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.

Built for Bowling Green's ground

Pike County runs to rolling farm ground west of the highway, with the Lincoln Hills knobs and river bluffs to the east. Clay-heavy soils common through the region hold water, and freeze-thaw winters push it into any weak spot. We grade surfaces to shed, ditch where runoff collects, and compact rock base in layers.

Bids are only comparable when they spell out the same things: base depth, compacted thickness, how edges are finished, and where water is meant to go. Ask for those before you pick a number.

Compacted asphaltTypically 2 to 3 in. for a car drive
Stone baseTypically 4 to 8 in., compacted
Drive on itUsually 2 to 3 days, longer in heat
First sealcoatTypically 6 to 12 months after paving

Typical ranges. Your Bowling Green estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Bowling Green paving questions

Straight answers for Bowling Green homeowners and property managers. Anything else, call (866) 490-7680.

Do you cover the county from Bowling Green?

Yes. We pave in town and across Pike County, including St. Clement and Ashley down Highway 161, Louisiana and Clarksville toward the river, and Eolia. Estimates are free and come with 25% off on the work.

What is the difference between an overlay and a repave?

An overlay puts new asphalt over the existing surface, which works when the base and grade are sound. A repave removes the old material and rebuilds what is under it. If the base is failing or water stands, an overlay just hides it for a season or two.

Is my part of Pike County in your service area?

Yes. We work in Bowling Green and throughout Pike County, along with the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Call or send the form with your address and we will set up a time to look at the job.

Do you need a permit to tie into a Bowling Green road?

Work inside your Bowling Green property line usually does not need one, but a new entrance onto a city street, a county road or a state route often does. The rules differ by road, so check with the city or county first; the owner normally pulls that permit.
