Main routes: Route 67
They called this place The Crossroads before it was named for John Roodhouse, and the railroad made it a junction in 1871. Route 67 does the crossroads work now, running through the center of the city as State Street. Driveways and parking lots along those streets take steady traffic, and both fail early when the base under them is thin.
We rebuild them properly. Drainage checked, soft material removed, rock compacted in layers, hot mix placed and rolled while it is hot. Older lots that are still sound get repairs and seal coating instead of a tear-out. Private roads and farm lanes are part of the work. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate with 25% off.
City drives here run off a street and sit close to the house, so the fall has to be set deliberately to keep water away from the foundation. We grade first, compact the rock base and lay hot mix at a typical 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups. The apron and the edges get built up, since those are the first pieces to break.
Driveway pavingBusiness lots along State Street, church parking and the pads behind shops all see delivery trucks, and the entrance takes the punishment. We build that area and the truck lane heavier than the stalls, grade the surface to a working outlet and stripe once it has set. Repairs and seal coating extend a lot that still has a solid base.
Parking lot pavingOutside the city, we build farm lanes, private roads shared by several properties and access drives to shops and outbuildings. A crown over a compacted base keeps water out of the wheel tracks, which is what makes a lane last. Chip seal fits a lightly used lane and asphalt fits anything trucks run year round.
Road constructionAround Roodhouse 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
Northern Greene County ground holds water in its silty upland soils, and a base that stays wet into a hard freeze pushes the surface up and cracks it. We grade every job so runoff leaves, compact the rock in layers instead of one thick lift, and support edges so frost cannot break them off.
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.

Yes. An entrance on a US route sees faster traffic and heavier turning loads, so we deepen the base there and grade so water and loose stone do not reach the highway. We go over the access details with you before the work is scheduled.
Yes. Both are close by, and we work them along with the rest of Greene County and greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. If you want more than one property looked at in the same visit, mention it when you call.
No. Fresh asphalt in Roodhouse needs time to cure before it is sealed, typically several months and often up to a year. Sealing too early can trap oils in the pavement. After that, sealing every few years helps it resist water, sun and salt.
Only if the grade changes. Paving over a low spot in Roodhouse leaves the same low spot in a smoother surface. We measure the fall first and tell you what it takes to move the water.
