Paving Rosewood Heights from the base up

Routes 111 and 140 run together as West MacArthur Drive along the north border, and the Route 255 expressway runs down the east edge with access at Exit 10. In between sits a residential community of subdivision streets, and that is where driveways and parking lots keep us busy.

Bethalto, Wood River, East Alton and Cottage Hills all touch this place, so the housing stock is a mix of ages and so are the drives. Some need full replacement. Others have a sound base and only need repairs and resurfacing. We tell you which one you have. Either way, the base and the drainage decide how long it lasts. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.

Driveway paving in Rosewood Heights

Most drives here are two-car approaches between a subdivision street and an attached garage. They fail at the apron, along the edges, and anywhere water stands. We cut out soft ground, compact a rock base in layers, then place hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and light trucks. Widening for another vehicle gets the same base work, not just a strip of asphalt.

Parking lot paving in Rosewood Heights

Church lots, small business parking and apartment lots take steady car traffic plus a weekly delivery and trash truck. Those heavy vehicles decide base thickness, so we build for them. The surface slopes to planned drainage points, the asphalt goes down in lifts, and striping follows once it cures enough to hold paint.

Parking lot paving

Road construction & private roads

Subdivision streets and shared private drives wear first in the wheel paths and at the entrances. Where the base is sound we mill and overlay. Where it has failed we dig out and rebuild that section rather than paving over it. Access drives off MacArthur Drive get extra base where trucks turn in.

General asphalt paving & repair

Beyond driveways and lots, we handle the everyday asphalt work around Rosewood Heights: overlays on sound pavement, full-depth patches where the base gave out, walking paths, sport courts and shop aprons. You get a straight answer on whether to repair or replace.

Built for Rosewood Heights's ground

Uplands above the river bottoms sit under deep windblown loess silt. Silt drains slowly, holds water against pavement, and lifts when it freezes. We proof the subgrade, replace what will not compact, build the rock base in layers, and grade every drive and lot so water has a planned way off.

The part of the job you can see is the last two inches. Ask what is underneath, how it will be compacted, and which way the finished surface drains.

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 Rosewood Heights estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Rosewood Heights paving questions

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

How do I know if my driveway needs replacing or resurfacing?

Surface cracking and fading usually means resurfacing will do. Cracking in a web pattern, soft spots and areas that sink under a tire mean the base has failed, and an overlay there will crack through within a season or two. We check before quoting.

Do you also work in Bethalto, Wood River and East Alton?

Yes. Those border this community, and we cover that whole stretch of Madison County along Routes 111 and 140, plus greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Estimates are free and every job gets 25% off.

Is my part of Madison County in your service area?

Yes. We work in Rosewood Heights and throughout Madison 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.

Does my HOA need to approve the work?

Some Rosewood Heights subdivisions have rules about materials, width or how long equipment can sit on the street. Check with your HOA before you schedule, and we will work the timing around whatever they require.
