As of February 2024, this small neighborhood is part of the City of Normandy. Voters on both sides approved the consolidation the previous August. The streets and driveways did not change, and neither did the work they need. We pave driveways and parking lots here.
At roughly three hundredths of a square mile, the old village was a handful of blocks that took its name from the nearby Glen Echo Country Club. Most jobs are residential drives, plus lot work for churches and small businesses along the Normandy corridor. Each one gets a compacted rock base and hot mix in lifts.

These are older mid-county drives: narrow, often single-car, with a garage set back from the street. Common repairs are a broken apron where the drive meets the street, cracks opening along the edges and water running toward the house instead of away from it. We rebuild the base where it has gone soft and place hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted.
Driveway pavingSmall lots are the norm here: a church, a corner business, an apartment building, a municipal lot. We plan entrances, traffic flow and drainage before anything is paved, size the base for delivery trucks and roll the asphalt in lifts. Seal coating comes later, after new asphalt has cured for months rather than days.
Parking lot pavingShort residential streets, alleys and shared drives in mid-county neighborhoods wear out at the edges first, where water collects and tires ride off the pavement. We rebuild the base, restore the crown and pave with asphalt thick enough for the traffic and the trash trucks that use them weekly.
Road constructionNot every job is a full rebuild. On older Glen Echo Park 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
Loess-derived upland soils sit under most of mid-St. Louis County, and the county soil survey flags low strength and frost action as limits for local streets, with adequate base material and drainage as the fix. Freeze-thaw winters do the rest. We grade for runoff and compact rock in layers first.
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 Glen Echo Park estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

No. Voters approved consolidation in August 2023 and the merger took effect on February 8, 2024, so the area is now part of Normandy. For paving, that mainly affects which city handles permits. The streets and drives are worked the same way.
Often, yes. Aprons take the hardest use and fail first. We saw cut the damaged section, rebuild the base under it and tie new asphalt into the existing drive. If the rest of the drive is near the end of its life, we will say so.
No. Fresh asphalt in Glen Echo Park 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 Glen Echo Park homes is often the real reason the slab edge keeps taking on water.
We pave all around Glen Echo Park, across St. Louis County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
