Your Manchester paving crew

Much of Manchester Road between St. Louis and Gray Summit was the original alignment of US 66, and the city leans into that history. Today it is one of the busier commercial corridors in west county. Parking lot paving along it is steady work, and so are the driveways on the neighborhood streets behind it.

Route 141 and Route 100 meet inside the city at a single-point urban interchange built in 1999, which concentrates turning truck traffic in a small area. Lots near there see more load than their size suggests. We build base to the heaviest axle and place asphalt in lifts. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.

Driveway paving in Manchester

Homes off Big Bend Road, Carman Road and Baxter Road sit on lots from several different building eras, and the drives show it. Some need only a new surface. Others have base that pumped out years ago. We check before quoting, then cut out soft ground, compact rock in layers and place hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups.

Parking lot paving in Manchester

Retail, restaurant and office lots along the corridor take delivery trucks every morning and cars all day, and the entrances and drive aisles fail first. We build base for the truck, plan flow and low points, then pave in lifts. Where base is sound, crack repair, patching, an overlay and seal coating buy years.

Parking lot paving

Road construction & private roads

Private drives behind shopping centers, condo streets and shared access lanes are regular work here. We grade, rebuild the compacted rock base where it has failed, crown the surface and pave to match the traffic. An entrance onto Highway 141 or Route 100 gets extra base and a thicker section, since turning trucks hit it hardest.

General asphalt paving & repair

Not every job is a full rebuild. On older Manchester pavement we often start with the smaller fixes: cutting out a failed patch, resetting a sunken section by the garage, or putting a fresh overlay over a surface whose base is still sound. We tell you which of those your asphalt actually needs, and we put it in writing.

Ground, water and winter in Manchester

Upland soils across St. Louis County formed mostly in loess, with cherty limestone residuum to the south and southwest. The county soil survey says local streets on many of them need adequate base plus ditches and culverts to prevent damage from low strength and frost action. Freeze-thaw winters make drainage the first decision.

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

Manchester paving questions

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

Can a busy retail lot be paved without closing?

Usually yes. We split the lot into sections so customers and deliveries always have a way in, and we can run the heavier work outside peak hours. Each section needs time before traffic returns, and we give you those dates before the first day.

How long does a commercial lot last before it needs work?

That depends on the base, the traffic and the drainage more than on the asphalt itself. Crack sealing and patching on schedule stretch a lot considerably, and seal coating protects the surface. We can tell you what shape yours is in during the free estimate.

Do I need to be home for the estimate?

It helps, because you know where water sits on the Manchester 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.

How long before I can park on it?

Plan on keeping cars off new asphalt for two to three days in mild weather, and longer through a hot Manchester summer. Fresh pavement stays soft while it cures, so turning tires on a parked car is what leaves scuff marks.
