Blacktop that holds up in Glen Carbon

Glen Carbon took its name from its coal mining heritage. Today it is a suburban village with I-270 crossing north of its center, Route 157 on the west side and Route 159 on the east. We pave driveways and parking lots throughout the village with a compacted rock base and hot-mix asphalt.

For homeowners, the goal is a driveway that drains away from the garage and holds up through winter. For businesses, churches and HOAs, it is a lot laid out for traffic and built for delivery trucks. Subdivision streets and private roads are part of the work too. Estimates are free, and you get 25% off. Call (866) 490-7680 to set one up.

Driveway paving in Glen Carbon

Common subdivision driveway problems are a sunken apron at the street, cracks spreading from the garage, and water that pools where the garage slab and the drive meet. We cut out failed sections, rebuild and compact the base, and place hot-mix asphalt, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for a home drive. We can also widen a drive or add a side pad in the same job.

Parking lot paving in Glen Carbon

For a retail, office, church or HOA lot near Route 159 or Route 157, we plan the layout and drainage before any paving. The base is built for trucks, the asphalt is placed in lifts, and the surface slopes to planned low points so water does not stand. Worn lots with a sound base may need only repair, an overlay or seal coating.

Road construction & private roads

We build and repave subdivision streets, private roads and HOA-maintained drives. Each one starts with grading and a compacted rock base, then asphalt sized for garbage trucks, school buses and deliveries. A crown that sheds water and edges with solid support keep a residential street from breaking up at the sides.

General asphalt paving & repair

General asphalt paving in Glen Carbon means matching the fix to the problem. Surface cracks on a firm base call for an overlay. Soft, sinking spots call for digging out and rebuilding the base first. We show you the difference on the walk-through.

What's under a Glen Carbon driveway

Judys Branch runs just south of the village center and west toward the Mississippi River valley lowlands. Wherever water moves on your property, it needs a path off the pavement. The clay-heavy soils common around St. Louis hold moisture, and freeze-thaw winters heave a wet base. We grade first and compact the rock 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 Glen Carbon estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Glen Carbon paving questions

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

Can our HOA get one estimate for a common lot and several driveways?

Yes. We can walk the common areas and any driveways the association wants included, then price them together. Grouping the work can make scheduling simpler for everyone involved. The estimate is free, and the work comes with 25% off.

Can you fix water pooling at the bottom of my driveway?

Usually. Pooling means the slope is wrong or the base has settled. We can cut out the low area, rebuild the base and repave it at the right grade, or regrade the whole drive if needed. We look at where the water comes from and where it should go during the free estimate.

What goes into the price of paving in Glen Carbon?

On a Glen Carbon job the price comes down to size, how much base work is needed, the asphalt thickness, whether old pavement has to come out, drainage fixes and how easily trucks can reach the work. Your written estimate lists each of those so you can compare it with other bids line by line.

How long will my driveway be out of use?

Most Glen Carbon driveways are a one to two day job. You can usually walk on the surface the same evening and drive on it after a couple of days, so plan to park on the street for that stretch.
