Main routes: Highway 61, Highway D, and Highway FF
Signed as the Avenue of the Saints, Highway 61 runs through the village, and Highway D comes in as Main Street. Most of what we pave here is driveways and parking lots: home drives on the village streets, church and small business lots, and the pads and yards on the places outside town.
The village was platted in 1881 along the railroad and named for Aeolus, after a surveying day the surveyor called the windiest he had seen. Ground and drainage have not changed since. We take out soft material, compact rock base in layers, set a grade that sheds water and roll hot mix to a dense finish. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate and 25% off.
A drive here may be a short village apron or a long run in from a county road. Either way, the base decides how long it lasts. We remove what will not compact, build rock in layers and place hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups, with extra depth where a work truck or trailer parks. Edges get supported so they hold their shape.
Driveway pavingSmall lots for a church, a shop or a business along Main Street take a delivery truck on top of cars, and that truck sets the base thickness. We put the entrance where a trailer can turn in off Highway D or Highway 61, grade the lot to drain, and keep the edge from breaking away at the gravel.
Parking lot pavingFarm lanes and drives shared by a few properties make up a lot of the paving out here. Crown the surface, compact the rock under it, carry water to the ditch. Chip seal fits a long, lightly used lane. Hot mix fits one that sees loaded trucks or daily driving in and out.
Road constructionFarm yards, equipment pads, church lots and long country drives around Eolia each carry different loads. We size the base and the asphalt to the traffic that will actually use it, then compact every layer so it stays put.
Asphalt paving
Pike County runs from Lincoln Hills knobs and river bluffs on the east to rolling prairie farmland toward the west. Upland farm ground here holds water in the clay, and a freeze-thaw winter turns that into heaving. We grade for runoff before anything else, then compact the rock base in layers so it carries the load.
Bids are only comparable when they spell out the same things: base depth, compacted thickness, how edges are finished, and where water is meant to go. Ask for those before you pick a number.

Yes. The culvert has to be sized and set right before asphalt goes over it, or the drive settles at that spot. We check the pipe, the cover depth and the ditch line during your free estimate, and any fix goes into the quote.
It depends on use. A lane driven daily, or one that washes out every spring, usually pays back the base work and the surface. A lane used a few times a month may be better served by chip seal or compacted millings. We can price both.
Yes. We work in Eolia and throughout Pike County, along with the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Call or send the form with your address and we will set up a time to look at the job.
They matter more than the asphalt. A Eolia lane that holds water at the culvert will fail there first, so we look at ditches, the culvert and the crown before quoting the surface.
We pave all around Eolia, across Pike County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
