Main routes: Highway 94
Highway 94 runs west from here toward Marthasville past winery after winery, and the Katy Trail crosses the community near the river. We pave driveways and parking lots along that stretch, from long private drives climbing to houses on the bluff to gravel lots that need a real surface before the next busy season.
The Historic Daniel Boone Home sits nearby, the stone house Nathan Boone built and where Daniel Boone died in 1820. Ground in the river valley behaves differently than ground on the hill, so we set base depth and drainage to match the site instead of using one recipe everywhere.

A drive off Highway 94 or one of the ridge roads usually runs long, turns a few times and climbs. We build the base to carry delivery trucks and a tractor, not just cars, and set the crown so water leaves at the curves instead of running the length of the drive. Hot mix goes down typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for light traffic, thicker where trucks turn.
Driveway pavingTasting room lots, event parking and shop yards take heavy weekend use and then sit empty. We build for the delivery truck, put the entrance where a trailer can swing in off the highway, and edge the lot so gravel shoulders do not wash across it. Recycled asphalt millings suit overflow areas that do not need a sealed surface.
Parking lot pavingPrivate lanes shared by several properties, farm roads and the service drives behind a winery all need the same things: a compacted rock base, a crowned surface and somewhere for water to go. We can build them in phases when that fits the budget, starting with the stretches that wash out first.
Road constructionA lot of rural pavement near Defiance fails at the edges, where water gets under the asphalt and tires break the shoulder down. Overlays, edge rebuilds and better drainage are often the fix. When the base is gone, we rebuild it before we pave.
Asphalt paving
River valley ground and bluff ground behave differently. Bottomland stays wetter and settles, while hillsides shed water fast and cut channels. Clay-heavy soils are common across the St. Louis region, and they hold water that freezes and lifts pavement in winter. We remove soft material, compact rock in layers and grade so water never stands.
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.
Typical ranges. Your Defiance estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Yes. We can stage a long drive so the worst stretch gets done first and the rest follows later. The base work still has to be done right on each section. We lay out the phases and what each one costs in your free estimate.
Chip seal costs less and suits a long lane with light traffic and a good rock base. Hot-mix asphalt handles daily trucks, tight turns and steep grades better and cleans up easier. We look at traffic and slope before recommending either one.
Hot-mix asphalt needs warm air and warm ground to compact properly, and the plants serving Defiance typically run from spring into late fall. Winter is a good time to get your estimate and book a spot for the season.
Usually yes, and it is a common question on Defiance lanes. We plan the approach before the day of paving, and building a turnaround into the job often costs less than you would expect while making the drive far more usable.
We pave all around Defiance, across St. Charles County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
