Driveways and lots across Crestwood

Watson Road, the old Route 66 alignment, is the commercial spine of this city, and Crestwood Plaza stood on it from 1957 until it came down in 2016 and 2017. Behind the corridor sit tree-lined streets of midcentury homes with newer infill built between them, and Grant's Trail running through.

Those two worlds need different pavement. Business lots on Watson take delivery trucks and constant turning, while residential drives take two cars and seventy winters. We rebuild base, pave in hot-mix asphalt and grade so water leaves the surface instead of soaking the edges. Repairs, overlays and seal coating all get priced against a full replacement, so you can see the difference. Free estimate at (866) 490-7680, and 25% off.

Driveway paving in Crestwood

A midcentury drive has usually been sealed, patched and overlaid more than once, and the base underneath is the part nobody has looked at. We check that first. Where the rock is sound, milling and an overlay work well. Where the drive flexes or a pothole keeps returning, that section gets dug out, re-rocked and compacted, then repaved at typically 2 to 3 inches of compacted hot mix.

Parking lot paving in Crestwood

Retail and office lots along Watson Road, Sappington Road and Big Bend Road take steady traffic plus delivery and trash trucks, and entrances fail before the middle ever does. We build the deepest base where vehicles enter and turn, plan drainage with the striping layout, and phase the work so part of the lot stays open for customers.

Road construction & private roads

Service drives behind the Watson Road businesses, shared drives and short private streets all carry truck weight their width does not suggest. We grade and crown, compact rock in lifts, then pave to the load. Access points onto an arterial get extra base, since every vehicle slows, turns and pushes on the pavement there.

General asphalt paving & repair

General asphalt work in Crestwood covers the jobs that do not fit neatly in a box: alley aprons, walkways, basketball pads, repairs where a utility trench was cut, and overlays that bring a tired surface back. Each one gets the same treatment: a clean edge, a sound base and hot mix rolled tight.

Built for Crestwood's ground

South county is rolling upland with the clay-heavy soils common around St. Louis, and mature trees keep shaded ground damp. Clay swells and shrinks as moisture changes, cracking pavement laid over it. Freeze-thaw winters widen those cracks and lift the surface. Drainage and a properly compacted base come first.

The part of the job you can see is the last two inches. Ask what is underneath, how it will be compacted, and which way the finished surface drains.

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

Crestwood paving questions

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

Can a driveway with big established trees be repaved?

Yes, with care. Roots lift asphalt and shade slows drying, so we look at where roots run before setting base depth. Often the fix is rebuilding the base in that one section and steering drainage away from the tree, rather than repaving the whole drive.

What does milling and overlay actually do?

Milling grinds off the worn top layer so a new layer bonds properly and the finished height still matches curbs and garage doors. The overlay then goes on top. It restores a surface that has a sound base, but it does not fix problems underneath.

Is my part of St. Louis County in your service area?

Yes. We work in Crestwood and throughout St. Louis 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.

Can you get a paver down a narrow Crestwood drive?

Usually yes. Tight drives around Crestwood are normal work: we size the equipment to the access, hand-work the pinch points along fences and garages, and roll every foot of it. If a spot truly cannot be machine-paved, we tell you before you sign anything.
