Blacktop that holds up in Montgomery City

The county courthouse is here, and so are the lots that come with a county seat: offices, churches, shops and the drives at the houses around them. Driveways and parking lots are the bulk of what we pave in town, along with farm lanes on the ground outside it.

Highway 19 runs through as Sturgeon Street, north toward Wellsville and south to New Florence, and Highway 161 runs about 6 miles south to I-70 at Exit 170. The town sits on a slight ridge that drains northeast to Elkhorn Creek and southwest to Clear Fork, so which side of the ridge you are on changes how water moves off your property. We build the grade around that. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.

Driveway paving in Montgomery City

Drives here range from short town drives to long lanes at the edge of the county. Both start the same way: soft ground removed, rock compacted in layers, and a grade that carries water to the street or a ditch. Hot mix is typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups, thicker where a farm truck or RV parks. Edges get supported so they hold instead of crumbling.

Parking lot paving in Montgomery City

Business lots along Sturgeon Street, church lots, school lots and shop yards each carry a different load, so each gets a base sized to it. We grade for drainage, build the entrance heavier where trucks turn in, and lay the stalls out so traffic moves without crossing itself. Sound older lots often need crack repair and seal coating instead of a rebuild.

Parking lot paving

Road construction & private roads

Private roads, subdivision streets and farm lanes around the county seat are regular work. A crowned surface over a compacted base keeps water out of the wheel paths, and a clean tie-in at Highway 19 or a county road keeps the entrance from breaking up. Long lanes can be done in sections when the budget calls for it.

General asphalt paving & repair

Around Montgomery City we see plenty of pavement that has been patched over and over. Sometimes one more patch is the right call. Sometimes a mill-and-overlay or a rebuild saves money over the next ten years. We will lay out both options so you can choose.

What's under a Montgomery City driveway

Montgomery County upland is claypan, so water sits rather than soaking in. It gets under a surface, freezes and lifts the asphalt in winter. The fix is plain and it works: grade for runoff, dig out the soft spots, compact the rock base in lifts, and keep ditches open so the base stays dry through the wet months.

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.

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

Montgomery City paving questions

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

Do you pave commercial lots in Montgomery City?

Yes. Offices, churches, shops, school lots and shop yards are regular work. We size the base for what parks and drives on it, grade the lot so water leaves the surface, and can stage the job in sections so the lot stays usable while we work.

What does the 25% off apply to?

It applies to the paving work we quote you. The estimate is free, and the discount is already figured into the price you see on it. Call (866) 490-7680 and we will come look at the driveway, lot or lane and put a number on it.

What goes into the price of paving in Montgomery City?

On a Montgomery City job the price comes down to size, how much base work is needed, the asphalt thickness, whether old pavement has to come out, drainage fixes and how easily trucks can reach the work. Your written estimate lists each of those so you can compare it with other bids line by line.

Do you do smaller repairs, or only full driveways?

Both. Patching a failed section, filling cracks before winter and rebuilding an apron are regular work in Montgomery City. We will tell you honestly when patching is throwing good money after bad.
