Main routes: Highway 50 and Highway CC
Highway 50 carries the through traffic in this part of western Franklin County, about five miles east of Gerald and a mile and a half west of Beaufort. Driveways and parking lots are the core of the work out here, with farm lanes and shop pads close behind, and Highway CC feeding in from the side.
Most properties around Leslie run long drives off a county road or a state route, which puts the whole job on drainage and base. We shape the grade, set culverts where water crosses, compact rock in layers, then place hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for a residential drive.

A country drive takes weather and weight a subdivision drive never sees: loaded pickups, delivery trucks and equipment. We strip soft topsoil, shape the subgrade to shed water, and compact rock in layers before any hot mix. Residential asphalt runs typically 2 to 3 inches compacted, with a thicker section where a trailer swings through or a truck parks.
Driveway pavingA church, a shop, a small business lot or a farm yard pad is the usual job around here. We size the base for the heaviest truck that will sit on it, slope the surface toward a planned low point, and lay asphalt in lifts. Millings compacted over a prepared base handle equipment and overflow areas at lower cost.
Parking lot pavingField access roads and private lanes see grain trucks and equipment every spring and fall. Those need a crown, a deep compacted rock base and firm shoulders, or the edges crumble in a season. We finish in asphalt or chip seal depending on the traffic, and put culverts wherever water crosses.
Road constructionFarm yards, equipment pads, church lots and long country drives around Leslie 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
Franklin County sits at the northern edge of the Ozarks, with cherty red clay over cherty dolomite common across the Salem Plateau and karst caves, springs and sinkholes in the bedrock. Water that gets under a pavement is what breaks it, and freeze-thaw winters speed that up. We drain first, then compact base in layers.
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.
Typical ranges. Your Leslie estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Yes. Loaded trucks need a deeper compacted base and a thicker asphalt section than cars, usually placed in more than one lift. We ask what runs on the lane and how often, then size the pavement and the shoulders to match it during the free estimate.
It can be. Chip seal costs less than hot mix and holds up on a lane with light, steady traffic. It still needs a compacted base and good drainage. On lanes with heavy loads or tight turning, hot-mix asphalt lasts longer and is the better spend.
It helps, because you know where water sits on the Leslie 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 Leslie 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 Leslie, across Franklin County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
