Main routes: Highway M
Two mineral springs started this place in the early 1880s, and one of them held lithium salts, which is where the name came from. A bathhouse went up at the springs in 1883. By 1912 there were two general stores, two mills and a brickyard. What remains is farm country, and farm country needs driveways and yard pads that hold weight.
Highway M runs along the west edge, north of Brewer, and most properties tie into it or a county road. Parking areas for a church or a shop get a base sized for trucks. Home drives get compacted rock and hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.
Out here a drive runs long, from a county road or Highway M back to the house and often past a barn. We strip soft topsoil, shape the subgrade so runoff leaves the surface, and compact rock in layers. Hot mix goes down typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups. Where a tractor or a loaded truck turns, we build it heavier.
Driveway pavingA church lot, a shop pad or a farm yard is the usual job in this part of the county. We size the base for the heaviest vehicle rather than the average one, slope the surface toward a planned low point, and place asphalt in lifts. Compacted millings work well for equipment yards and overflow parking.
Parking lot pavingField access roads and private lanes carry equipment in spring and grain trucks in fall, and the shoulders break first. We crown the surface, build a deep compacted rock base, firm the shoulders and set culverts where water crosses. Asphalt where the traffic justifies it, chip seal on lighter runs.
Road constructionOut around Lithium, 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
Eastern Perry County is the Perryville Karst, where caves, sinkholes, springs and losing streams tie surface runoff straight to shallow groundwater. Ground like that moves water in ways you cannot always see. We look at where runoff goes, keep it off the subgrade, and compact the rock base in layers before paving.
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 Lithium estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

It changes where water goes, which is the part that matters. We plan the grade and any ditching so runoff leaves by a route you choose, not one it finds on its own. Under the surface it is the same discipline: solid subgrade, rock compacted in layers, then asphalt.
Yes. Equipment and loaded trucks concentrate weight, so a yard pad needs a deeper base and a thicker asphalt section than a car drive, placed in more than one lift. Tell us what parks and turns there during the free estimate and we size it accordingly.
It helps, because you know where water sits on the Lithium 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.
Both cost less than hot mix and both work well on long drives around Lithium. 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 Lithium, across Perry County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
