Blacktop that holds up in Greendale

More than 400 street trees line this small city, which holds a Tree City USA designation for them. Mature trees and asphalt have a complicated relationship. We pave driveways and parking lots here, and we plan around roots, shade and the leaf litter that keeps a surface damp long after a rain.

Greendale incorporated in 1950, with Normandy Drive as its western boundary and St. Charles Rock Road carrying traffic nearby. Streets like Leadale, Colfax and Boswell are lined with homes from that era, and their drives are due. We rebuild bases, place hot mix in lifts and set grades so water leaves.

Driveway paving in Greendale

A 1950s drive under old trees usually shows the same things: roots lifting one side, cracks holding moisture, a sunken apron at the street. We look at what is under the surface before quoting a fix. Where the base is sound, an overlay works. Where it is not, we rebuild with compacted rock and 2 to 3 inches of compacted hot mix.

Parking lot paving in Greendale

Small lots here serve churches, apartment buildings, offices and the businesses along St. Charles Rock Road. With the university and MetroLink stations close by, some lots see steady daily turnover. We size the base for that traffic, grade toward planned drainage points and roll asphalt in lifts rather than laying it in one pass.

Parking lot paving

Road construction & private roads

Short residential streets, shared drives and alleys wear out at the edges where no curb holds them. We rebuild the base, restore the crown and compact edges so the asphalt does not ravel under trash trucks and delivery vans. Where roots have heaved a section, we cut it out and rebuild rather than skim over it.

General asphalt paving & repair

Not every job is a full rebuild. On older Greendale 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.

Why the base matters in Greendale

Mid-county uplands formed in loess, and the county soil survey lists low strength and frost action as the limits on local roads, fixed with adequate base material plus ditches and culverts. Shade keeps pavement damp longer, so freeze-thaw works on it harder. Drainage and base are where the effort goes.

Bids are only comparable when they spell out the same things: base depth, compacted thickness, how edges are finished, and where water is meant to go. Ask for those before you pick a number.

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

Greendale paving questions

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

Tree roots cracked my driveway. What can be done?

The section over the roots has to come out. We remove the damaged asphalt, deal with the roots as far as is safe for the tree, rebuild and compact the base, then pave back. Skimming asphalt over a heaved area only hides it until the next season.

Do you pave lots near the university and MetroLink area?

Yes. We pave and repave lots for churches, apartments, offices and small businesses in Greendale and the neighboring mid-county municipalities, including Normandy, Pagedale and Bel-Nor. Estimates are free, and you get 25% off.

Do you pave in Greendale in the winter?

Hot-mix asphalt needs warm air and warm ground to compact properly, and the plants serving Greendale typically run from spring into late fall. Winter is a good time to get your estimate and book a spot for the season.

Can you match the drive to my garage floor height?

Yes. We set the finished grade at the garage so water runs away from the building rather than toward it, which on older Greendale homes is often the real reason the slab edge keeps taking on water.
