Main routes: I-70 and Highway F
The name is literal. This small city sits on a ridgetop between the Cuivre and Loutre river watersheds, which means water leaves in two directions. That is a good starting point for pavement. We pave driveways and parking lots here, along with farm lanes on the ground around town.
Route F comes off I-70 at exit 179 and follows Booneslick Road through town, past the old High Hill School and the Farmers Mercantile building, both on the National Register. The Norfolk Southern line runs through as well. We build a compacted rock base, then hot-mix asphalt in lifts. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.
A ridgetop lot drains well if the drive is shaped to use it. We set the crown or cross slope so runoff reaches the shoulder instead of running the length of the drive. Soft subgrade comes out, rock goes in and gets compacted in layers, then hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups.
Driveway pavingChurch lots, shop pads, small business lots and equipment yards make up most of the lot work in a town this size. We size the base for the heaviest vehicle that uses it, build the entrance with extra base where trucks turn off Booneslick Road, and roll the asphalt in lifts so it compacts evenly.
Parking lot pavingFarm lanes, field access roads and private drives out on the ridge and down the slopes toward both watersheds need grading, a compacted rock base and a crown. Longer lanes with light traffic can take chip seal. Anything carrying loaded trucks gets built heavier, especially at the entrance where wheels turn.
Road constructionFarm yards, equipment pads, church lots and long country drives around High Hill each carry different loads. We size the base and the asphalt to the traffic that will actually use it, then compact every layer so it stays put.
Asphalt paving
Montgomery County's upland flats carry claypan soils with very slow permeability and a perched water table in winter and spring, so subgrade drainage matters. On a ridge, the grade helps, but water that reaches the base still has to leave. We dig out soft material and compact rock in layers.
A cheap bid usually gets cheap somewhere you cannot see. Ask what depth of stone goes down, how thick the asphalt is after rolling, and who fixes it if water still stands.
Typical ranges. Your High Hill estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

It helps. Water has somewhere to go, which is half the battle. The catch is that runoff moves faster on a grade and can cut along an edge or a wheel track. We shape the surface to move it sideways off the pavement rather than letting it run the full length.
Yes. New Florence is about four miles west along I-70 and Jonesburg about five miles east, and we work both, along with Montgomery City, Warrenton and greater St. Louis. Estimates are free, and you get 25% off.
It helps, because you know where water sits on the High Hill property and how the drive gets used. If you cannot be there, tell us what you want done when you call and we will work out the best way to walk the site and go over the details with you.
They matter more than the asphalt. A High Hill lane that holds water at the culvert will fail there first, so we look at ditches, the culvert and the crown before quoting the surface.
We pave all around High Hill, across Montgomery County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
