Main routes: Highway 67, Highway 110, and Highway CC
Streets named Parthenon Drive, Kronos Drive and Hercules Place give this small Jefferson County city its character, and the driveways running off them are most of the paving work here. Beyond that it is small lots: a church, a shared building, a shop pad. Both jobs come down to the same two things, base and drainage.
The city incorporated in 1965, and Highway 67 runs along its western edge, where Highway 110 and Route CC also touch town. Jefferson County is Ozark border hill ground, and hill ground moves water fast. We grade so runoff leaves a surface instead of soaking the base beneath it.

Most drives here are residential and sit on some slope. We set the cross slope so water sheds sideways rather than running the length of the drive, remove soft subgrade, compact rock in layers, then place hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups. The apron where the drive meets the street gets extra base, since turning weight concentrates right there.
Driveway pavingThe lots in a city this size are small: a church, a community building, a few spaces at a business. Small lots still need a base sized to what parks on them and a grade that moves water to a ditch. We build the entrance heavier where vehicles turn in. Where a lot is sound but tired, crack filling, patching and seal coating do the job.
Parking lot pavingPrivate lanes shared by several homes and the short connecting drives between properties get the same build as any street: compacted base, crowned surface, open drainage at the shoulders. On a grade, the pitch and the turnaround get extra thickness. Recycled asphalt millings are a workable surface for a lightly used lane on a tight budget.
Road constructionGeneral asphalt paving in Olympian Village means matching the fix to the problem. Surface cracks on a firm base call for an overlay. Soft, sinking spots call for digging out and rebuilding the base first. We show you the difference on the walk-through.
Asphalt paving
Ozark border hills here are rocky in places and clay in others, and clay-heavy soils are common across the wider region. Water running downhill under a surface undermines the base long before anything shows on top. We cut ditches, set the grade, dig out soft ground and compact the rock in layers so freeze and thaw has less water to lift.
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.
Typical ranges. Your Olympian Village estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Spring through fall is the usual window, because hot mix needs warm ground and warm air to compact properly. Late fall work is possible when conditions cooperate. We will tell you honestly if the weather means waiting will give you a better surface.
Yes. We work here, in Festus, De Soto, Crystal City, Hillsboro and the rest of Jefferson County, along with greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Driveways, parking lots and private lanes all get a free estimate, and you get 25% off.
Sometimes. If the base under your Olympian Village pavement is still solid and the surface only has shallow cracking, an overlay can work well. If the pavement is sinking, rutting or breaking into alligator cracks, the base has failed and it needs to be rebuilt first. The free estimate is where we sort that out.
We keep trucks on the drive where we can and flag anything close to the work on your Olympian Village property. Mark sprinkler heads and invisible fence lines before we start, and we will work around them. Minor lawn scuffing along the edge is normal and easy to repair.
