Main routes: Highway 21 and Highway 110
Artesian wells gave this town its Fountain City name, and water is still what decides how long a driveway lasts here. We pave driveways and parking lots across town and out on the roads that climb away from Joachim Creek. Most of the failures we get called to look at trace back to water sitting where it should have run off.
Highway 21 passes on the west side of town and Highway 110 comes in from the north, so getting equipment and material in is straightforward. Every job gets soft ground removed, rock base compacted in layers, a grade that sheds water and hot mix rolled to a dense finish. Estimates are free, and you get 25% off. Call (866) 490-7680.
Driveways on the older streets near Main Street are often narrow and steep, sitting on whatever base was put down decades ago. We check that base before quoting. Where it holds, we overlay. Where it does not, we dig out, add rock and compact it, then place hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups. Steep drives get extra attention at the top and bottom, where water runs.
Driveway pavingLots along Main Street, church lots and the yards behind local shops handle delivery trucks on top of cars, so we size the base for the heaviest thing that rolls across. Grade comes first. A lot that drains to a low corner and stands there will crack there first. Repairs and seal coating can stretch the life of a sound lot.
Parking lot pavingPrivate roads and shared drives on the ridges outside town take the worst of the runoff. A crowned surface over compacted rock, with water carried to a ditch or culvert, holds up far better than a flat lane. Chip seal works on long, lightly used lanes. Hot mix works where trucks run every day.
Road constructionIn a town like De Soto, general asphalt work covers a lot of ground: shop and church lots, alley aprons, repairs along a curb line, overlays on older streets and pads for equipment. The approach stays the same: fix the base, lay the hot mix, roll it tight, finish the edges.
Asphalt paving
Jefferson County sits in Ozark border hills, with cherty red clay over limestone on many slopes and thick loess on the ridges toward the Mississippi. Slopes are steep enough that runoff moves fast and cuts. We grade to control it, compact the base in layers, and keep water off the pavement edges where frost does its damage.
Before you sign anything, get the base depth and the compacted asphalt thickness on paper. Two bids that look far apart are often just two different pavements.
Typical ranges. Your De Soto estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Yes, with the right base and drainage. Steep drives need water carried across or off the surface before it can run down the middle and undercut the edges. We look at the slope, the top of the drive and where water leaves during your free estimate.
Yes. We work the roads around De Soto and across Jefferson County, from Hillsboro to Festus and the properties in between, plus greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Estimates are free and you get 25% off.
On a De Soto job the price comes down to size, how much base work is needed, the asphalt thickness, whether old pavement has to come out, drainage fixes and how easily trucks can reach the work. Your written estimate lists each of those so you can compare it with other bids line by line.
In De Soto that is the piece that takes the most abuse, so it gets extra attention: a firm base, a tie-in that sits flush with the road, and a shape that moves water to the ditch or gutter instead of back toward the drive.
We pave all around De Soto, across Jefferson County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
