Driveways and lots across Dellwood

About 22 miles of city streets serve roughly 2,000 homes here, and most of those driveways were put in decades ago. We replace and repair them, and we handle the business lots along West Florissant Avenue where trucks come and go every day. Cracking at the apron and standing water near the garage are the two things we see most.

West Florissant Avenue and Chambers Road cross here, which the city sums up in its Crossroads of North County motto. That traffic means lot work has to be staged so a business stays open. We can pave half a lot at a time, keep an entrance live, and come back for the rest. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate and 25% off.

Driveway paving in Dellwood

North County driveways are mostly short, flat and close to the street, which puts the wear at the apron and the edges. We saw a clean joint at the street, rebuild the base where it has pumped out, and place hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups. Where a drive sits lower than the yard, we regrade so water runs to the street instead of the garage.

Parking lot paving in Dellwood

Lots along West Florissant Avenue and Chambers Road take delivery trucks, trash trucks and steady car traffic. We size the base for the trucks, set the grade to move water to the inlets, and repair the failed sections rather than replacing a lot that is still sound. Striping and seal coating finish the job.

Road construction & private roads

Street sections, church drives and the access lanes behind shops all fail first where trucks turn. We rebuild those areas with extra base, then overlay the rest where the surface is still carrying. Apartment and townhome drives get the same treatment, staged so residents always have a way in and out.

General asphalt paving & repair

General asphalt work in Dellwood 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.

Ground, water and winter in Dellwood

Upland soils across St. Louis County formed in loess, and the county soil survey says local streets on them need enough base material plus ditches and culverts to avoid damage from low strength and frost action. That is the whole problem in one sentence. We compact rock in layers, grade to shed water, and keep the edges supported.

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.

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

Dellwood paving questions

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

Can you work on my lot without closing the business?

Usually yes. We split the lot into sections, keep an entrance and a walking path open, and work around your busiest hours where we can. Fresh asphalt needs time to cure before heavy loads, so we build that into the schedule.

What does a failing driveway apron mean?

It usually means water got under the edge at the street and washed out the base, or the base was never thick enough for the delivery and trash trucks crossing it. Patching the top will not hold. We rebuild the base at the apron and tie it back to the street.

Do I need to be home for the estimate?

It helps, because you know where water sits on the Dellwood 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.

Can you get a paver down a narrow Dellwood drive?

Usually yes. Tight drives around Dellwood 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.
