Main routes: Route 40
Route 40 runs along the north side of the village, about 6 miles west to Troy and 6 miles northeast to Highland. We pave driveways and parking lots through St. Jacob and on the farm ground around it, always with a compacted rock base under hot-mix asphalt. Gravel drives, tired blacktop and short farm lanes all get the same attention to base and drainage.
Water is the first thing we look at on any job. The ground here drains west to tributaries of Silver Creek, and flat, slow-draining soil punishes pavement that was laid on a wet base. For homes that means grading, clean edges and a surface that sheds rain. For shops, churches and farm yards it means a base built for the weight that will sit on it.

Most drives in a village this size are long, straight runs from the road to the house or the shop. We strip out failed material, fix soft spots in the base, and place hot-mix asphalt, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for a home drive. If a gravel drive keeps rutting after a wet spring, the base is usually the reason, and we rebuild it before any asphalt goes down.
Driveway pavingAlong Route 40 and inside the village, we build lots for churches, shops and small businesses. Layout comes first: where trucks enter, where they turn, and where water leaves. Base rock is sized for the heaviest vehicle that will use the lot, then hot mix goes down in lifts and gets rolled. A worn lot that is still sound can take an overlay instead.
Parking lot pavingFarm lanes off the section roads, private drives back to grain bins and access roads to shops all need the same three things: a graded and compacted base, a crown that moves water to the ditch, and edges that hold under a loaded truck. We build these in hot mix, or in chip seal and recycled millings where traffic is lighter.
Road constructionA lot of rural pavement near St. Jacob 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
Silver Creek tributaries take the runoff west of the village, and the flat ground in between gives it up slowly. Clay-heavy soils common around St. Louis hold water, and freeze-thaw winters lift pavement sitting on a soft base. We cut out weak soil, compact rock in layers and set grades so water runs off the surface instead of under it.
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. Route 40 puts Highland about 6 miles northeast and Troy about 6 miles west, and we pave in both, along with Marine, Lebanon and the rest of Madison County. Estimates are free and you get 25% off.
Usually a car can go on it within a day or two, but fresh asphalt stays soft for weeks while it cures. Keep heavy trucks, trailer jacks and kickstands off it during that time, and avoid turning the wheel while the vehicle is stopped.
It helps, because you know where water sits on the St. Jacob property and how the drive gets used. If you cannot be there, tell us what you want done when you call and we will work out the best way to walk the site and go over the details with you.
As much as the budget allows. Long lanes around St. Jacob 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.
We pave all around St. Jacob, across Madison County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
