Main routes: Highway 79, Highway B, and Highway JJ
Broadway runs past City Hall and City Park in the middle of downtown, and the driveways on the blocks around them have been in place a long time. We repave those, and we build the parking lots that go with churches, shops and school buildings. Rutting, edge break and water standing against a garage slab are the usual reasons people call.
Highway 79 follows the Mississippi through town as part of the Great River Road, with Highway B and Highway JJ feeding in from the farm ground. Work out that direction means lanes and equipment yards as much as house drives. Every job gets a compacted rock base, a grade that moves water and hot mix rolled to a dense finish. Estimates are free, and you get 25% off.
In town, drives are short and close to the street, and the apron takes the beating. Out on the farm roads, a drive may run several hundred feet and carry grain trucks. We size the base to whatever actually uses it, then place hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups and more where loaded trucks turn. Soft spots come out before anything goes down.
Driveway pavingChurch lots, downtown business lots and the yards behind a shop or equipment building all need an entrance that works for a truck and a grade that keeps water moving. We build the base for the heaviest load, crown or slope the lot to drain, and keep the edges supported so they do not crumble into the gravel.
Parking lot pavingFarm lanes, field roads and private drives shared by several places are common around here. A crowned surface over compacted rock, with water carried to the ditch, is what makes them last. Chip seal suits a long lane with light traffic. Hot mix suits a lane running loaded trucks through harvest.
Road constructionGeneral paving in Elsberry can be as simple as a new apron where the drive meets the street or as big as an overlay across a business lot. Either way the estimate spells out the base work, the asphalt thickness and what the finished surface should look like.
Asphalt paving
Lincoln County uplands are loess and glacial till, and the soil survey lists low strength, frost action and shrink-swell as limitations for local roads, recommending a crushed rock base and roads that shed water to ditches and culverts. Bottomland near the river adds wetness to that list. We grade first and build the base to match.
When you compare bids, ask each contractor for three numbers in writing: the compacted asphalt thickness, the base depth, and what happens to the water. Those three decide how long the surface lasts.
Typical ranges. Your Elsberry estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Yes. Bottomland ground is wetter and softer, so the base has to be thicker and the surface has to shed water fast. We check the subgrade, remove what will not compact and add rock depth. That evaluation is part of your free estimate.
Yes, if it is built for one. Loaded trucks need a deeper compacted rock base and more asphalt than cars, especially at the entrance, the turns and wherever they stop. Tell us what uses the drive and we size the base and asphalt to match.
Most Elsberry driveways are paved in one to two days once the base is ready, with more time if the old surface has to come out or the base needs rebuilding. You can usually walk on it the same day and drive on it after a few days, depending on the weather.
Most Elsberry estimates happen within a few days of your call, and jobs are usually scheduled a couple of weeks out depending on weather and the season. Booking early in the year gets the better dates.
We pave all around Elsberry, across Lincoln County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
