One of the oldest surviving houses in Illinois stands here, the Martin-Boismenue House, built around 1790 with squared logs set upright on a sill over a stone foundation. Around it is a small river village with no state highway running through. Local streets, private drives and lanes are how people get in and out, and that is where our work sits.
I-255 and Route 3 pass through neighboring Dupo, a couple of miles off. On river ground, the base under a driveway or parking lot decides how long it lasts. We remove soft material, compact rock in layers, set the grade so runoff leaves the surface, then place hot-mix asphalt and roll it tight.

Village drives here are short, close to the street and sitting on low river ground. We build the apron heaviest, because that is where wear concentrates, cut clean supported edges, and set a cross slope that moves water to the street. Hot-mix goes down typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups, with more depth wherever a trailer or truck parks.
Driveway pavingChurch parking, a shop pad, a yard behind a business or a boat and trailer area all get planned around the same two things: the heaviest vehicle and the path water takes. We build entrances with extra base for turning loads and grade the surface to a planned outlet. Sound older lots may need only repairs and seal coating.
Parking lot pavingPrivate roads and shared drives in a village without a state highway carry every kind of local traffic, including delivery and service trucks. We crown the surface over a compacted rock base, thicken the rock at turns and stops, and tie entrances into the village street so the joint does not break apart before the rest.
Road constructionIn a town like East Carondelet, 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
The county's western floodplain, the American Bottom, is mostly protected by a levee and drainage canal system, and the ground below is deep river-laid clay, silt and sand. It holds water, and a wet base under freeze-thaw winters means lifted, cracked asphalt. We plan drainage first, dig out soft subgrade and compact clean rock in layers.
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 East Carondelet estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Yes. The Martin-Boismenue House is a state historic site with its own protections, and work near landmarks calls for care with access, equipment and grading. On nearby private property we keep drive lines and grades close to what is there and work carefully around walks, steps and trees.
No. A single driveway is normal work, and a small job gets the same base preparation, compaction and hot-mix as a large one. We cover this village along with Dupo, Columbia and greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Estimates are free and you get 25% off.
Sometimes. If the base under your East Carondelet pavement is still solid and the surface only has shallow cracking, an overlay can work well. If the pavement is sinking, rutting or breaking into alligator cracks, the base has failed and it needs to be rebuilt first. The free estimate is where we sort that out.
Work inside your East Carondelet property line usually does not need one, but a new entrance onto a city street, a county road or a state route often does. The rules differ by road, so check with the city or county first; the owner normally pulls that permit.
We pave all around East Carondelet, across St. Clair County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
