Main routes: Highway 61 and Highway M
Where Highway 61 meets Route M, Brewer is a crossroads community northwest of Perryville. Paving here is driveways, parking lots, farm and shop yards. Long drives out to houses set back from the highway are common, and they fail where the grade lets water run along them instead of across.
Locals called the place Brewerville before the post office settled on its shorter name in 1886, honoring an early resident, R. M. Brewer. I-55 exit 135 at Route M is signed for it. We dig out soft material, compact clean rock in layers, then place hot-mix asphalt and roll it dense on a grade that drains. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.
A country drive here carries pickups, trailers and delivery trucks, so the base is sized for the heaviest of them, not the average. We shape a cross slope first so runoff leaves early, dig out soft subgrade, and place hot-mix asphalt over compacted rock, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for a home drive and more at turnarounds. Long lanes can be done in sections.
Driveway pavingOut here that means a church, a shop pad, a farm equipment yard or a small business lot near the highway junction. Each gets a base built for the heaviest vehicle that parks on it, a grade that drains away from buildings, and edges rolled tight. Sound asphalt can be crack repaired and seal coated.
Parking lot pavingFarm lanes, field roads and shared private drives run out from Highway 61 and Route M across rolling Perry County ground. We build them with compacted rock, crown or cross slope the surface, and set culverts where runoff crosses. Asphalt suits regular truck traffic, chip seal suits lighter use, and entrances get extra base.
Road constructionOut around Brewer, general asphalt work often means shop pads, machine-shed aprons, turnarounds for trucks and trailers, and the stretch of lane where gravel keeps washing out. We build those with drainage and heavy tires in mind.
Asphalt paving
Perry County is karst country, with more than 680 known caves, and sinkholes, springs and losing streams tie surface runoff straight to shallow groundwater. Water travels where you cannot see it, and soft spots follow. We look at drainage before thickness, dig out weak subgrade and compact clean rock in layers before paving.
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 Brewer estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

I-55 exit 135 at Route M is signed for the community, and Route M runs from there over to the Highway 61 junction in town. That mix of highway and farm traffic is why entrances and turn areas get a thicker base than the rest of a drive.
Yes. We work through Perry County, including Perryville, Lithium, Longtown and the Highway 61 corridor, along with greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Estimates are free, and you get 25% off.
Typically a compacted crushed-stone base several inches deep on firm soil, with soft spots dug out first, and that holds for any Brewer driveway. On clay soils that hold water, a thicker base and good slope matter even more. The estimate states the base depth so there are no surprises.
Not usually. If the subgrade under a Brewer lane is soft, stone alone just sinks into it. The fix is digging out the soft spots and rebuilding in compacted layers so the base has something to sit on.
We pave all around Brewer, across Perry County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
