Hot-mix asphalt, laid right in Ellisville

Two roads set the pattern here. Manchester Road carried the original 1926 alignment of Route 66, and Clarkson Road begins where it meets that highway. We pave driveways on the streets running off both, and the lots serving the businesses along them. Older West County drives usually need base work, not just a fresh surface.

Bluebird Park covers about 167 acres on Kiefer Creek Road, and the neighborhoods around it hold the sort of long, sloped driveways that punish bad drainage. We look at where water goes before quoting anything. Then soft ground comes out, rock gets compacted in layers, and hot mix goes down and gets rolled tight.

Driveway paving in Ellisville

West County drives tend to be long, sloped and shaded, with a turnaround or a side pad. Those are the spots that fail: the low point, the turn and the apron. We rebuild the base where it has softened, compact rock in layers, then place hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and light trucks. Edges get support so they do not break off into the yard.

Parking lot paving in Ellisville

Retail and office lots along Manchester Road and Clarkson Road take delivery trucks every day, and that is what sets base depth. We grade so water reaches the inlets instead of standing at the back row, rebuild the drive aisles where trucks turn, and stage the work in sections so customers keep an entrance the whole time.

Road construction & private roads

Subdivision streets, church and school access drives, and private lanes shared by a few homes all wear along the wheel paths first. We mill and overlay where the base is still carrying, dig out and rebuild where it is not, and add depth at the entrances where heavy vehicles swing off the main road.

General asphalt paving & repair

Beyond driveways and lots, we handle the everyday asphalt work around Ellisville: overlays on sound pavement, full-depth patches where the base gave out, walking paths, sport courts and shop aprons. You get a straight answer on whether to repair or replace.

Why the base matters in Ellisville

The neighborhoods off Kiefer Creek Road sit on rolling loess upland over limestone, typical of this side of the county. The county soil survey says local streets here need adequate base plus side ditches and culverts to prevent damage from low strength and frost action. We grade for runoff, compact in layers, and keep water off the edges.

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

Ellisville paving questions

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

My driveway is cracking in a web pattern. What does that mean?

A pattern of interconnected cracks usually means the base under the asphalt has failed, not the surface. Sealing it hides the look for a season without fixing the cause. We dig a test spot, then rebuild the base in that area and repave over it.

Can you match a new driveway to a steep garage approach?

Yes. Steep approaches need the grade broken so water sheds sideways before it reaches the garage, and the transitions kept gentle enough that cars do not scrape. We work out the elevations on site and show you the plan during the free estimate.

Should I sealcoat my new driveway right away?

No. Fresh asphalt in Ellisville needs time to cure before it is sealed, typically several months and often up to a year. Sealing too early can trap oils in the pavement. After that, sealing every few years helps it resist water, sun and salt.

What causes those cracks along the edge of my drive?

Unsupported edges. When the ground beside a Ellisville driveway settles or gets driven on, the asphalt has nothing holding it up and breaks off. Rebuilding the edge and backfilling it properly is what stops it.
