Main routes: Highway F
Roughly 17.6 square miles of forested hills, steep valleys and sandstone bluffs, and the 2020 census counted everyone living here as rural. Driveways are the bulk of the work in country like this, along with parking areas for churches, shops and outbuildings. Highway F is the spine most properties tie into.
The conservation area along LaBarque Creek covers about 1,284 acres of canyon and creek country, which tells you what this ground does with water. Long lanes, side hills and crossings are normal. We grade, build rock base in layers and place hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for a residential drive. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.
A drive out here may be a quarter mile of switchback through trees before it reaches the house, and on those the grade, the ditching and the culverts matter more than anything else. We shape the lane, compact rock in layers, then place hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups. Steep sections and turnarounds get built heavier.
Driveway pavingChurches, small businesses and shop buildings out this way need lots that handle pickups, trailers and the occasional delivery truck. We build the base for that load, slope the surface so runoff leaves fast on a hillside site, and place asphalt in lifts. Millings are a practical surface for equipment and overflow areas.
Parking lot pavingShared private roads serve a lot of properties in this part of Jefferson County, and they take the worst of the runoff. We grade, build a compacted rock base, crown the surface, and add ditches or culverts where water crosses. Asphalt or chip seal, depending on how many households use the road and what they drive.
Road constructionOut around LaBarque Creek, general asphalt work often means shop pads, machine-shed aprons, turnarounds for trucks and trailers, and the stretch of lane where gravel keeps washing out. We build those with drainage and heavy tires in mind.
Asphalt paving
Steep slopes, narrow valleys and St. Peter sandstone shape drainage here. County ridges carry cherty red clay over limestone and dolomite, and slopes over 20 percent are common. Water running under a pavement edge on a hillside will undercut it, and freeze-thaw winters finish the job. We build drainage first, then base, then asphalt.
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 LaBarque Creek estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Yes. Phasing a long drive is common: the steepest or worst section first, the rest later. We build the base the same way each time so the joints line up and the finished lane behaves as one surface. The free estimate can break the work out by phase.
Hot-mix asphalt gives a tighter, smoother surface and sheds water better on a grade. Chip seal costs less and works on lower-traffic lanes, but loose chips can migrate downhill on a steep run. We look at the slope and the traffic before recommending one.
Sometimes. If the base under your LaBarque Creek pavement is still solid and the surface only has shallow cracking, an overlay can work well. If the pavement is sinking, rutting or breaking into alligator cracks, the base has failed and it needs to be rebuilt first. The free estimate is where we sort that out.
Both cost less than hot mix and both work well on long drives around LaBarque Creek. Chip seal gives a tough, textured surface; compacted millings bind tighter than gravel and cut the dust. We will walk the lane and tell you honestly where each one makes sense.
We pave all around LaBarque Creek, across Jefferson County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
