Main routes: Route 158 and Route 163
The center of the village sits where Route 158 crosses Route 163. From there Route 158 runs west to Columbia and east to Belleville, and Route 163 heads north toward Centreville. German heritage runs deep here, with more than half of residents of German descent and a sister-city tie to Gross-Bieberau.
Most of our work in town is driveways and parking lots, with farm lanes on the ground outside it. The build is the same in all three cases: grade for drainage, take out soft soil, compact rock in layers and place hot-mix asphalt over it. A house drive typically finishes at 2 to 3 inches compacted. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.
Village drives here are often short with a tight apron at the street, while places on the edge of town run long off a county road. Short or long, we build from the subgrade up: soft soil out, rock in and compacted, then hot mix placed and rolled hot. Two to three inches compacted suits cars and pickups. Drives that take a trailer or a farm truck get a deeper base and more asphalt.
Driveway pavingBusinesses at the Route 158 and Route 163 crossing, churches, halls, schools and farm yards make up the lot work. We plan the entrance and the turning path before digging, size the base for the heaviest vehicle, and grade to a low point that has somewhere to send water. Asphalt goes down in lifts. Sound lots may need only repair and an overlay.
Parking lot pavingFarm lanes, private roads, equipment yards and subdivision streets all get graded, crowned and built over compacted rock. The crown is what keeps water off, and on flat ground it does most of the work. Where a lane meets a state route, the entrance gets more base, because turning trucks load that spot harder than the rest.
Road constructionIn a town like Millstadt, general asphalt work covers a lot of ground: shop and church lots, alley aprons, repairs along a curb line, overlays on older streets and pads for equipment. The approach stays the same: fix the base, lay the hot mix, roll it tight, finish the edges.
Asphalt paving
Uplands here are blanketed in thick windblown loess silt, running as deep as about 90 feet near the bluff line in St. Clair County, with clay-heavy subsoil below. Silt and clay both hold water, and water under pavement is what freeze-thaw winters turn into cracks. We grade for runoff, remove soft ground and compact base rock in layers.
When you compare bids, ask each contractor for three numbers in writing: the compacted asphalt thickness, the base depth, and what happens to the water. Those three decide how long the surface lasts.
Typical ranges. Your Millstadt estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

It depends on the base. If the rock underneath is still solid and the damage is surface cracking or a few broken areas, repair and an overlay often make sense. If the drive is dipping, holding water or breaking in several places, the base has failed and replacing it lasts longer.
Yes. We pave in Millstadt, Columbia, Waterloo, Smithton, Belleville, Dupo and the surrounding area, plus greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Route 158 makes the run between them short. Estimates are free and you get 25% off.
Hot-mix asphalt needs warm air and warm ground to compact properly, and the plants serving Millstadt typically run from spring into late fall. Winter is a good time to get your estimate and book a spot for the season.
Only if the grade changes. Paving over a low spot in Millstadt leaves the same low spot in a smoother surface. We measure the fall first and tell you what it takes to move the water.
We pave all around Millstadt, across St. Clair County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
