Main routes: Highway Z, Highway D, and Highway F
Three lettered routes meet here, Z, D and F, and the city calls itself the Crossroads to Wine Country. That mix shows up in the paving: home drives on acreage, lots at the businesses near the crossroads, and long lanes running back to houses out on the ridges. Driveways and lots are most of the work.
German immigrants from Melle settled this ground in 1839, organized St. Paul Lutheran Church in 1844 and have had a post office since 1850. Southwestern St. Charles County has the steepest slopes in the county, so a drive out here usually has grade to deal with. We build drainage into the job instead of hoping the surface sheds it.

Acreage drives are long, and length means more places for water to cross. We shape the grade, set cross drainage where runoff wants to go, compact rock in layers and place hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups, thicker where a truck or trailer parks. On a steep approach, the apron at the road gets extra base because that is where weight and turning combine.
Driveway pavingLots at the crossroads businesses, the churches and the event and shop properties outside town all get a base sized to what parks on them. We grade so water leaves the lot rather than standing at the low end, build entrances heavier where vehicles turn off Highway Z or Highway D, and keep the layout simple. Sound older lots often need patching and seal coating instead of a rebuild.
Parking lot pavingPrivate roads serving a handful of homes, shared ridge lanes and farm access drives are normal work here. Crowned surface, compacted base, open ditches: that combination keeps a lane from rutting through a wet spring. Where a lane climbs, we build the pitch heavier and pay attention to how water crosses rather than runs with it.
Road constructionAround New Melle 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.
Asphalt paving
Slopes in this corner of the county move water quickly, and the soil underneath is clay-heavy like much of the region. Fast water erodes a shoulder, slow water soaks a base, and the freeze and thaw cycle punishes both. We cut ditches, set the crown, remove soft material and compact the rock in layers so the asphalt has a dry, firm foundation.
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 New Melle estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

It works well when the base and drainage are right. Asphalt handles grade better than loose gravel, which migrates downhill every storm. We build the base deeper on the pitch, add cross drainage, and finish the surface so it is not slick when wet.

Yes, and we phase it so the lot stays usable. Most small New Melle lots are done in sections, with the entrance kept open where possible, so a business or a Sunday service is not shut out while the asphalt cures.
