Dairy farmland became houses here starting in 1939, and the city that formed in 1946 covers about a tenth of a square mile. That means short blocks, tight driveways and lots measured in spaces rather than acres. We replace and repair those drives, and we pave the small lots behind churches and shops nearby.
West Florissant Avenue and Jennings Station Road frame the neighborhood, and pavement off them gets the same treatment as anything else we build. Soft ground comes out, rock base goes in and gets compacted in layers, the grade is set to move water, and hot mix is rolled to a dense finish. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate and 25% off.
A drive on one of these blocks is short, narrow and sits close to the neighbor's, so the apron and the edges take nearly all the abuse. We saw a clean joint at the street, dig out the base where it has pumped, compact rock in layers, then lay hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups. Grades get set so one drive does not drain onto the next.
Driveway pavingSmall lots here serve a church, a corner business or a few apartment units, and they still take a trash truck every week. We build the base for that truck, slope the lot so water reaches the street or an inlet, and rebuild the entrance where turning tires push the asphalt. Crack filling and seal coating extend a sound lot.
Parking lot pavingShort residential streets, shared apartment drives and the lanes behind buildings fail first at the entrances. We rebuild those with added base and tie them cleanly into the public street, then overlay the straight sections where the structure underneath is still doing its job.
Road constructionNot every job is a full rebuild. On older Flordell Hills pavement we often start with the smaller fixes: cutting out a failed patch, resetting a sunken section by the garage, or putting a fresh overlay over a surface whose base is still sound. We tell you which of those your asphalt actually needs, and we put it in writing.
Asphalt paving
Ground under the old dairy farmland is rolling loess upland, the same as the rest of north St. Louis County, where the soil survey calls for adequate base plus ditches and culverts to prevent damage from low strength and frost action. Flat blocks make drainage the whole job. We grade for it and compact the base in layers.
The part of the job you can see is the last two inches. Ask what is underneath, how it will be compacted, and which way the finished surface drains.
Typical ranges. Your Flordell Hills estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

We take single driveways. A short residential drive is usually a one-day job once the base work is done. You get the same base preparation and compaction as a larger project, a free estimate up front, and 25% off the price.
The apron carries every vehicle that enters, including trash trucks, and it is where water from the street edge gets under the pavement. When the base washes out there, the surface drops. We rebuild that section with new compacted rock instead of patching the top.
No. Fresh asphalt in Flordell Hills 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.
Yes. We set the finished grade at the garage so water runs away from the building rather than toward it, which on older Flordell Hills homes is often the real reason the slab edge keeps taking on water.
We pave all around Flordell Hills, across St. Louis County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
