Main routes: Highway 61
Highway 61 runs through as Main Street, and the community grew along the old King's Highway, then the Perryville-Jackson Road, by 1860. Settlement dates to 1821. It has stayed a farming place ever since, and farming places need driveways and yard pads built for weight, plus parking for the church and the businesses that remain.
Zion Lutheran Church was founded in 1897 and its brick church was dedicated in 1912, the kind of building whose lot sees a full crowd once a week and a delivery truck the rest of the time. We size base for the heaviest load, not the average. Residential asphalt runs typically 2 to 3 inches compacted. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.
A drive here usually leaves Main Street or a county road and runs back past outbuildings before it reaches the house. Length and drainage decide how it holds up. We strip soft topsoil, shape the subgrade, and compact rock in layers before hot mix goes down, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups, thicker where a trailer or a tractor turns.
Driveway pavingChurch, school and shop lots in a small farming town take cars in waves and trucks on delivery days. We build the base for the truck, slope the surface so water leaves rather than ponding at a door, and place asphalt in lifts. A lot with sound base underneath often needs only patching, an overlay and seal coating.
Parking lot pavingField lanes and private roads carry equipment and grain trucks in season, which is what breaks a shoulder. We crown the surface, build a deep compacted rock base, firm the edges and set culverts at every crossing. Asphalt or chip seal depending on how heavy the traffic runs and how often.
Road constructionFarm yards, equipment pads, church lots and long country drives around Longtown 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
Perry County uplands sit on a karst sinkhole plain with more than 680 known caves, the most in Missouri, and surface water often connects straight to shallow groundwater. Runoff that gets under a pavement is what ruins it, and freeze-thaw winters widen the damage. We drain the ground first, then build base.
The part of the job you can see is the last two inches. Ask what is underneath, how it will be compacted, and which way the finished surface drains.
Typical ranges. Your Longtown estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Usually yes. We work a lot in sections so part of it stays open, and schedule paving days around the service calendar. Fresh asphalt needs time before vehicles drive on it, so we tell you which days each section is out of use before we start.
Highway 61 and I-55 make this corner of Perry County a straightforward run. We work this town, Perryville, Brewer, Biehle and the surrounding farm country, plus greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Estimates are free and you get 25% off.
Most Longtown driveways are paved in one to two days once the base is ready, with more time if the old surface has to come out or the base needs rebuilding. You can usually walk on it the same day and drive on it after a few days, depending on the weather.
They matter more than the asphalt. A Longtown 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 Longtown, across Perry County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
