Main routes: Highway 161 and Highway J
A colony of German Catholics founded this community in 1870, and it has stayed small and rural ever since, strung along Highway 161 about four miles south of Bowling Green. We pave driveways and farm lanes out here, and lots for churches, shops and equipment yards.
Most of the work is long approaches off Highway 161 and Highway J, where the drive carries a pickup one day and a loaded grain truck the next. That changes how thick the base and the asphalt need to be. Pike County ground shifts from rolling farmland to the wooded knobs of the Lincoln Hills, so grading is rarely the same twice.

A country drive here is often several hundred feet of packed dirt or worn gravel. We regrade it, cut out the soft places that hold water, compact rock in layers, then place hot-mix asphalt. Cars and pickups typically need 2 to 3 inches compacted; a drive that takes farm equipment gets more base and more asphalt. Long lanes can be paved in phases.
Driveway pavingChurch lots, shop pads and equipment yards are most of the commercial paving in a place this size. We build the base for the heaviest vehicle that parks or turns on it, grade the surface to planned low points, and place asphalt in lifts. Recycled asphalt or chip seal can make sense on a large yard.
Parking lot pavingWe build and repave farm lanes, field access roads, private drives and shared gravel roads between properties. Each gets grading, a compacted rock base and a crown so water leaves the surface. Where a lane meets Highway 161, we thicken the entrance, since that is where turning trucks break the edge first.
Road constructionA lot of rural pavement near St. Clement fails at the edges, where water gets under the asphalt and tires break the shoulder down. Overlays, edge rebuilds and better drainage are often the fix. When the base is gone, we rebuild it before we pave.
Asphalt paving
Rolling farmland drains better than the flat spots that hold water after a storm, and the knob country east of here sheds it fast. Either way, freeze-thaw winters find whatever moisture is trapped under the pavement. We grade for runoff, pull out soft soil, and compact rock in layers before any asphalt goes down.
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 St. Clement estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

It depends on the traffic. Asphalt handles daily truck and equipment use better than gravel and stops the annual regrading. On a very long lane, chip seal or recycled asphalt over a proper compacted base costs less and still holds up. We will price both for you.

As much as the budget allows. Long lanes around St. Clement are often done in stages, starting at the road or at the worst stretch. We build each stage so the next one ties in cleanly rather than leaving a lip where the work stopped.
