Your Sawyerville paving crew

Split by a stream ravine about 50 feet deep, Sawyerville has a small eastern section and a larger western one. That kind of ground shapes how we pave. Driveways and parking areas near a slope need a firm base, good edges and a clear path for runoff, or they wash out and crack.

Route 4 runs along the west side of the village and Route 138 along the east, with I-55 about 2.5 miles east at White City. We pave driveways, shop and church lots, and private lanes with hot-mix asphalt over a compacted rock base. Every job starts with a look at where water runs on your lot. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.

Driveway paving in Sawyerville

If your driveway runs toward the ravine or climbs from the street, water will try to follow it. We shape the surface to move runoff to the sides, build up and compact the base where the ground is soft, and finish with hot-mix asphalt, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for a home drive. On steeper grades, a thicker edge and a solid apron at the street help keep the pavement in place.

Parking lot paving in Sawyerville

For a church, shop or small business lot off Route 4 or Route 138, we build the base for the heaviest vehicle that uses it and lay out the surface so water drains to planned spots instead of pooling. We also pave parking pads for homes that need room for a work truck or camper. Seal coating can follow once the asphalt has cured.

Road construction & private roads

Private roads and shared drives on uneven ground need more planning than flat lanes. We grade the route, add compacted rock where it is soft, crown the surface for drainage, and pave in asphalt or chip seal to match the traffic. Keeping the ditches along a lane open matters as much as the pavement itself.

General asphalt paving & repair

Out around Sawyerville, general asphalt work often means shop pads, machine-shed aprons, turnarounds for trucks and trailers, and the stretch of lane where gravel keeps washing out. We build those with drainage and heavy tires in mind.

Built for Sawyerville's ground

Sawyerville sits in the Cahokia Creek watershed, with a stream ravine cutting through the village. Near slopes, runoff moves fast and can undercut pavement edges. Clay-heavy soils common around St. Louis hold water, and freeze-thaw winters heave a weak base. We compact rock in layers, protect the edges and grade for runoff.

Before you sign anything, get the base depth and the compacted asphalt thickness on paper. Two bids that look far apart are often just two different pavements.

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

Sawyerville paving questions

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

Can you pave a driveway on a steep slope?

Yes, in most cases. Steep drives need a well-compacted base, careful grading so water does not run straight down the middle, and firm edges. During your free estimate we look at the slope, the soil and where the runoff will go, and tell you what the job will take.

Is Sawyerville part of your service area?

Yes. We serve Sawyerville along with Benld, Gillespie, Mount Clare, White City and Staunton, plus greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate with 25% off.

Can you pave over my old asphalt?

Sometimes. If the base under your Sawyerville 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.

Is chip seal or asphalt millings a better fit for a long drive?

Both cost less than hot mix and both work well on long drives around Sawyerville. Chip seal gives a tough, textured surface; compacted millings bind tighter than gravel and cut the dust. We will walk the lane and tell you honestly where each one makes sense.
