Main routes: Highway 30, Highway MM, and Highway W
The Big River runs through town, and the ruins of the old mill and dam that gave the city its name still sit on it. Patrick C. Byrnes, an Irish immigrant of 1849, founded the settlement. River-valley ground and hillside lots make driveways here anything but flat.
Route W from the north and Route MM from the east meet Highway 30 in town, and the population roughly doubled between 1990 and 2020, so older drives and newer subdivision pavement sit side by side. We pave driveways, small lots and private roads over a compacted rock base, and we rebuild the aprons, turnarounds and shoulders that hillside drives wear out first.

A hillside driveway needs a base that will not creep and a surface that pushes water to the side. We cut and compact rock in layers, shape a crown or a cross slope, then pave, typically 2 to 3 inches of compacted hot mix for a home drive. Steep approaches get firm edges, because that is where the first cracks show after a hard freeze and thaw.
Driveway pavingMost lots around here belong to a church, a shop, a small business along Highway 30 or a subdivision common area. We size the base for the heaviest truck that will show up, not for the cars, then slope the surface so storm runoff and snowmelt reach a planned outlet instead of sitting in the middle of the lot.
Parking lot pavingPrivate roads and shared drives above the Big River lose their edges to runoff before they lose their surface. We grade and crown, compact rock in lifts, keep the ditches cut and pave to match the traffic. Subdivision streets get the same treatment, with attention to where water leaves each section.
Road constructionGeneral asphalt paving in Byrnes Mill means matching the fix to the problem. Surface cracks on a firm base call for an overlay. Soft, sinking spots call for digging out and rebuilding the base first. We show you the difference on the walk-through.
Asphalt paving
Valley ground and hill ground behave differently. Bottom land stays wet, while the clay-heavy soils common in the region swell and shrink through the year. Water trapped in a base freezes, lifts the surface and leaves a pothole when it thaws. Drainage first, compaction second, asphalt last.
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.
Typical ranges. Your Byrnes Mill estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Yes, and the grade is the main design question. We shape the surface and shoulder so runoff crosses the drive instead of running its full length. On a steep drop we firm up the edges too, since that is where water and turning tires do the most damage.
Fresh hot-mix asphalt needs time to cure. Light car traffic is usually fine within a couple of days in mild weather, but heavy vehicles, trailer jacks and sharp turns should wait longer. We give you the timeline for your job and the weather we finished in.
Yes. We work in Byrnes Mill and throughout Jefferson 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.
We keep trucks on the drive where we can and flag anything close to the work on your Byrnes Mill property. Mark sprinkler heads and invisible fence lines before we start, and we will work around them. Minor lawn scuffing along the edge is normal and easy to repair.
