Paving Chesterfield from the base up

Chesterfield Valley flooded in July 1993 when its Missouri River levee failed. The higher levees built since then opened the way for heavy commercial development, including the Chesterfield Commons retail area, and with it acres of parking. On the higher ground south of Highway 40, the work looks different: subdivision drives, long private roads and wooded lots.

We pave driveways, retail and office lots and access roads with a compacted rock base and hot-mix asphalt, graded so water goes where it is supposed to go. Valley ground and bluff ground need different base work, and one city holds both. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.

Driveway paving in Chesterfield

West County drives are often long, curved and set on sloping lots with mature trees. Roots, shade and runoff all work against asphalt. We rebuild soft base, compact rock in layers, and pitch the surface so water crosses to the side rather than running the full length of the drive. A home drive typically takes 2 to 3 inches of compacted hot mix, with a thicker build where trailers and delivery trucks turn.

Parking lot paving in Chesterfield

Retail and office lots off Chesterfield Airport Road, Long Road and Clarkson Road take steady traffic and heavy delivery loads. Entrances and drive aisles fail first, so those get the deepest base. We plan drainage together with the layout, keep water off the building pads, and use milling, overlays and seal coating where the existing base is still sound.

Parking lot paving

Road construction & private roads

Private roads, office park access drives and subdivision streets carry more truck weight than their width suggests. We grade and crown, compact rock in lifts and pave to the load. Out in the Valley, where the ground is flat, the crown and the outlet locations do most of the drainage work.

General asphalt paving & repair

General asphalt paving in Chesterfield 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.

Ground, water and winter in Chesterfield

Part of the city lies in the Missouri River floodplain behind levees, where bottom ground stays soft and settles. The rest is low hills along the river bluffs with the clay-heavy soils common around St. Louis. Clay swells and shrinks, freeze-thaw lifts trapped water, and both crack pavement. Base and drainage come first.

A cheap bid usually gets cheap somewhere you cannot see. Ask what depth of stone goes down, how thick the asphalt is after rolling, and who fixes it if water still stands.

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 Chesterfield estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Chesterfield paving questions

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

Does paving in Chesterfield Valley take a different approach?

Yes. The Valley is Missouri River floodplain behind levees, so the ground is flatter and softer than the hills to the south. That usually means more base preparation, careful compaction and a real drainage plan, since there is little natural fall to move water off a large lot.

Can a worn retail lot be resurfaced instead of replaced?

Often. If the base is still solid and the trouble is surface cracking and worn areas, milling and an overlay restore the lot for less than a rebuild. Where potholes keep coming back in the same spots, water is in the base and those sections have to come out.

Do I need to be home for the estimate?

It helps, because you know where water sits on the Chesterfield property and how the drive gets used. If you cannot be there, tell us what you want done when you call and we will work out the best way to walk the site and go over the details with you.

Does my HOA need to approve the work?

Some Chesterfield subdivisions have rules about materials, width or how long equipment can sit on the street. Check with your HOA before you schedule, and we will work the timing around whatever they require.
