Main routes: Highway Y
Lake lots do not forgive bad drainage. Homes here sit around a reservoir on Goose Creek, and the community straddles the line between St. Francois and Ste. Genevieve counties, about three miles east of French Village. We pave driveways and parking pads first, then private lanes and small lots.
Highway Y is the way in. Many drives here started as gravel, and gravel on a grade turns to ruts after one wet spring. We cut out the soft material, compact a rock base in layers, then place hot-mix asphalt and shape the surface so runoff heads to the sides.

A lake driveway usually runs downhill toward the water, which means the surface has to shed rain before it picks up speed. We set the crown or cross slope first, then build the base. New asphalt for cars and pickups is typically 2 to 3 inches compacted over rock. A pad for a boat trailer or a turnaround can go in on the same trip.
Driveway pavingLot work out here is modest: a church lot, a shop pad, a shared guest area, a small business lot toward Bonne Terre or Bloomsdale. We build the base for the heaviest vehicle, slope the surface to a planned low point and roll the asphalt in lifts so it compacts evenly instead of settling in tire paths.
Parking lot pavingPrivate lanes that serve a few lake homes take delivery trucks, boat trailers and spring runoff. We rebuild them with a compacted rock base, a crown to shed water and a thickness matched to the traffic. For a shared lane, we can price the full run so every owner along it sees the same plan.
Road constructionA lot of rural pavement near Goose Creek Lake fails at the edges, where water gets under the asphalt and tires break the shoulder down. Overlays, edge rebuilds and better drainage are often the fix. When the base is gone, we rebuild it before we pave.
Asphalt paving
Soils on the Farmington Plain are clayey over dolomite, and the NRCS notes low strength for vehicle traffic that suitable base material corrects. Near a reservoir, low ground stays wet long after a storm. A wet base plus freeze-thaw winters breaks pavement apart, so we dig out soft spots and compact rock 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.

Usually. Compacted gravel can become part of the base if it is thick enough and the ground underneath is firm. We probe the soft areas, add and compact more rock where it is thin, then pave. If a section pumps water, that part gets dug out first.
Goose Creek Lake spans northeastern St. Francois County and northwestern Ste. Genevieve County, so which county you deal with depends on which side of the line your lot falls. We work both, along with Bonne Terre, Bloomsdale and greater St. Louis.
Most Goose Creek Lake driveways are paved in one to two days once the base is ready, with more time if the old surface has to come out or the base needs rebuilding. You can usually walk on it the same day and drive on it after a few days, depending on the weather.
As much as the budget allows. Long lanes around Goose Creek Lake are often done in stages, starting at the road or at the worst stretch. We build each stage so the next one ties in cleanly rather than leaving a lip where the work stopped.
We pave all around Goose Creek Lake, across St. Francois County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
