Built for Country Club Hills's ground
North County ground is rolling upland with the clay-heavy soils common around St. Louis. Clay holds water, swells, then shrinks as it dries, and pavement over that movement cracks along the same lines every year. Freeze-thaw winters open those cracks wider. Compaction and drainage matter more than extra thickness.
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 Country Club Hills estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.
