Your Red Bud paving crew

Three state routes come together in this city: Route 3 along the west, with Route 159 and Route 154 both starting here and running north and east. That brings real commercial traffic, and commercial lots show it first at the entrances. We rebuild those, pave new lots and drives, and repair the ones that are worth saving.

Residential work is the other half. Driveways on the streets around the Main and Market historic district, and longer drives on the rolling ground out toward the Kaskaskia River, which forms the eastern edge of the city. Every job gets drainage set, a compacted rock base and hot mix rolled dense. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate with 25% off.

Driveway paving in Red Bud

In-town drives here are short and tie straight into a city street, so the grade and the apron carry the work. Out on the rolling ground the drives run longer and slope, which means crown and edge support matter more. Either way, we compact a rock base in layers and lay hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups.

Parking lot paving in Red Bud

A city with a college campus, a historic downtown and highway business has lots that take everything from student cars to delivery semis. We build entrances and truck lanes for the heavy end, grade the surface to a working outlet and stripe for a clean traffic pattern. Sound asphalt often needs repairs and seal coating, not replacement.

Road construction & private roads

Beyond the city, we build private roads, subdivision streets and farm lanes on the rolling ground east toward the Kaskaskia. A crowned surface over a properly compacted base is what makes a private road last past a few winters. Chip seal fits low-traffic lanes, and full-depth asphalt fits anything loaded trucks use.

General asphalt paving & repair

General paving in Red Bud can be as simple as a new apron where the drive meets the street or as big as an overlay across a business lot. Either way the estimate spells out the base work, the asphalt thickness and what the finished surface should look like.

Built for Red Bud's ground

This was rolling prairie with timber along the Kaskaskia River before it was a city, and that ground still holds water in the flats. Water in a base freezes, expands and lifts the asphalt above it. We grade to move runoff, compact rock in layers and support edges so the surface does not fail from the outside in.

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.

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

Red Bud paving questions

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

Can you handle a commercial lot on a state route?

Yes. Entrances off Route 3, Route 154 or Route 159 need extra base and a grade that keeps water and loose material off the highway. We plan the access and the phasing so your business keeps running while the work moves across the lot.

How long should we wait before seal coating new asphalt?

New pavement needs to cure before it is sealed, usually a matter of months rather than days. Sealing too early traps oils and can leave a soft surface. We will tell you the window for your job so you can schedule it when the time comes.

Is my part of Randolph County in your service area?

Yes. We work in Red Bud and throughout Randolph County, along with the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Call or send the form with your address and we will set up a time to look at the job.

How soon can you get to a job in Red Bud?

Most Red Bud estimates happen within a few days of your call, and jobs are usually scheduled a couple of weeks out depending on weather and the season. Booking early in the year gets the better dates.
