Main routes: Highway 30 and Highway PP
Cherty ground on a sandstone-capped ridge is poor for row crops, which is why this area grew fruit, berries and truck-farm produce for St. Louis instead. It is decent ground for pavement if the base is built right. We pave driveways and parking lots along Highway 30 and the roads off it.
The community is unincorporated, so road and permit questions run through Jefferson County. Highway PP starts at Highway 30 here and runs north. Creeks off the ridge drain toward the Meramec and the Big River, and how your lot sits relative to that decides where water goes. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.
Ridge and hillside lots in northern Jefferson County give you sloped drives, sometimes long ones. Slope helps drainage and hurts edges, because runoff that finds a wheel track will cut. We shape the cross slope to move water sideways, compact rock in layers and place hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups.
Driveway pavingBusiness lots along Highway 30 handle constant turning traffic and daily deliveries. We plan entrances so trucks can swing in without riding the edge, size the base for the heaviest load and lay asphalt in lifts. Church, shop and small office lots off the highway get the same sequence at the scale they need.
Parking lot pavingPrivate roads, shared lanes and acreage drives off Highway PP and the county roads carry more weight than they look like they should. We grade, build a compacted rock base and crown the surface so runoff leaves both sides. A shared lane can be priced as one run so every owner sees the same scope.
Road constructionGeneral asphalt paving in High Ridge 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.
Asphalt paving
The ridge is capped with Bushberg Sandstone and the soil above it is cherty, which drains better than heavy clay but still needs a built base. Water that gets under pavement and then freezes is what opens cracks. We remove soft material, compact rock in layers and set the grade to move runoff off.
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.
Typical ranges. Your High Ridge estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

High Ridge is unincorporated, so it has no city government of its own and road and permit matters go through Jefferson County. What applies depends on whether the work touches a county right of way. We can walk through it during the free estimate.
It helps some. Cherty ground drains faster than heavy clay, which is one reason this area grew fruit rather than conventional crops. It still has soft pockets, and a driveway is only as good as what is compacted under it. We check the subgrade before setting base depth.
It helps, because you know where water sits on the High Ridge 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.
We keep trucks on the drive where we can and flag anything close to the work on your High Ridge property. Mark sprinkler heads and invisible fence lines before we start, and we will work around them. Minor lawn scuffing along the edge is normal and easy to repair.
We pave all around High Ridge, across Jefferson County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
