Asphalt work for Leadington properties

Highway 32 leaves its overlap with Highway 67 at an interchange here and briefly shares the road with Business 67, which puts a lot of traffic through a small city. Commercial parking lots near that interchange are a big part of the work, along with driveways on the streets behind them.

The town was platted in 1895, soon after lead mining started at the site, and it now sits entirely inside the borders of Park Hills. Population went from 422 in 2010 to 764 in 2020, and growth means new pads and repaved lots. Residential asphalt is typically 2 to 3 inches compacted over rock.

Driveway paving in Leadington

Drives here range from short approaches on Woodlawn Drive and the side streets to longer runs on lots out toward the edge of town. Either way, we fix what is underneath: soft subgrade out, rock compacted in layers, then hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups. Where a work truck or a trailer parks, we thicken the section and the edges.

Parking lot paving in Leadington

Retail, service and shop lots near the interchange take delivery trucks all day, and the entrances and drive aisles show it first. We build the base for the heaviest vehicle, plan the turning room, and place asphalt in lifts. Older lots with sound base are usually candidates for crack repair, patching, an overlay and seal coating.

Parking lot paving

Road construction & private roads

Access drives behind commercial buildings, private roads and short subdivision streets all get the same start: grading, a compacted rock base and a crown so water leaves the surface. Where a drive meets Business 67 or Highway 32, the entrance gets extra base and thicker asphalt, since turning trucks break down an edge fast.

General asphalt paving & repair

Around Leadington we see plenty of pavement that has been patched over and over. Sometimes one more patch is the right call. Sometimes a mill-and-overlay or a rebuild saves money over the next ten years. We will lay out both options so you can choose.

What's under a Leadington driveway

About half of St. Francois County is the gently rolling Farmington Plain, where NRCS maps clayey soils over dolomite and loamy soils over sandstone, and notes low strength for vehicle traffic on several soils, correctable with suitable base material. Freeze-thaw winters push water into anything that opens, so we drain first.

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.

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

Leadington paving questions

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

Can you pave while a business stays open?

Usually yes. We split a lot into halves or sections so customers and deliveries keep a way in, and schedule the heavier work for slower hours where that helps. Fresh asphalt needs time before traffic, and we tell you exactly how long each section stays closed.

Do you work in Leadington and Park Hills?

Yes. We serve this area, Park Hills, Desloge, Farmington, Bonne Terre, Leadwood and the rest of St. Francois County, plus greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Estimates are free and you get 25% off.

What goes into the price of paving in Leadington?

On a Leadington job the price comes down to size, how much base work is needed, the asphalt thickness, whether old pavement has to come out, drainage fixes and how easily trucks can reach the work. Your written estimate lists each of those so you can compare it with other bids line by line.

Do you do smaller repairs, or only full driveways?

Both. Patching a failed section, filling cracks before winter and rebuilding an apron are regular work in Leadington. We will tell you honestly when patching is throwing good money after bad.
