Hot-mix asphalt, laid right in Fredericktown

The Madison County Courthouse anchors the historic square at the center of town, and the streets around it carry pavement that has been patched for decades. We repave those driveways and build parking lots for the businesses, churches and offices spread between the square and Highway 67 along the western edge. Water is usually the reason an old drive failed.

National forest land wraps the town on the east, west and south, and Mine La Motte lies about four miles north, where French lead mining began in the early 1700s. Country like that means long private drives and farm lanes as much as town work. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate and 25% off.

Driveway paving in Fredericktown

Drives near the square are short and tight to the street, while the ones out on the county roads run long and climb. Both depend on the base. We remove soft material, compact rock in layers and place hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups, with more depth at entrances and turnarounds where a truck or trailer works.

Parking lot paving in Fredericktown

Lots around the square, along Highway 72 and out toward Highway 67 take delivery and trash trucks on top of cars, and those set the base thickness. We grade so water leaves instead of standing at the back edge, rebuild entrances where turning tires shove the surface, and phase the work so a business keeps an entrance open.

Road construction & private roads

Private drives in the hills, church and camp access roads, and farm lanes running back toward forest land all take the same approach: crowned surface, compacted rock base, water carried to a ditch. Steep sections get extra base. Chip seal suits a long lane with light traffic, and hot mix suits daily truck use.

General asphalt paving & repair

In a town like Fredericktown, 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.

Why the base matters in Fredericktown

These are the northeastern foothills of the St. Francois Mountains, igneous knobs and Ozark hills where slopes shed water fast and cut. The Little St. Francis River is dammed as City Lake northeast of town and passes under Highway 67 to the west, so low ground here is genuinely low. We grade for runoff and compact the base 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.

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

Fredericktown paving questions

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

Do you pave drives on steep hill ground?

Yes. Steep drives need water taken off the surface before it can run the length of the drive and undercut the edges. We set cross slope, add base where the grade is worst, and check the culvert or ditch at the bottom during the free estimate.

Do you serve Farmington and the rest of the area?

Yes. We work Fredericktown and the surrounding Madison County roads, along with Farmington, Park Hills and the towns up Highway 67, plus greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Estimates are free and you get 25% off.

Should I sealcoat my new driveway right away?

No. Fresh asphalt in Fredericktown 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.

Will a new surface fix water standing in my lot?

Only if the grade changes. Paving over a low spot in Fredericktown leaves the same low spot in a smoother surface. We measure the fall first and tell you what it takes to move the water.
