Main routes: I-44, I-270, and Lindbergh Boulevard

Asphalt work for Sunset Hills properties

I-44 and I-270 meet inside the city limits, and Lindbergh Boulevard and Watson Road carry the rest. That crossroads is why so much commercial paving happens here. We build and repair parking lots along those routes and repave driveways in the neighborhoods off them. Both come down to what sits under the surface.

The city incorporated in 1957, so much of the residential stock predates current drainage standards, and many drives are long, curved and set well back from the street. Laumeier Sculpture Park draws steady visitor parking, and several city parks look out over the Meramec River, which tells you how the land falls here.

Driveway paving in Sunset Hills

Long, curved drives on wooded lots are common here, and they collect water at every low point if the grade is not right. We regrade, remove failed material, compact rock in layers, and place hot-mix asphalt, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and light trucks. Turnarounds and side parking pads get the same base work, since that is where vehicles sit and load.

Parking lot paving in Sunset Hills

Office, retail, medical and church lots along Lindbergh Boulevard, Watson Road and Gravois Road see all-day turning traffic and delivery trucks. We plan entrances, aisles and drainage together, size the base for the heaviest vehicle, and place asphalt in lifts. Work can be phased so the lot stays partly open.

Road construction & private roads

We build and repave private drives, subdivision streets, apartment and condo access lanes, and the service roads behind commercial buildings. Each gets a graded, compacted base and a crown that sheds water, with thickness matched to traffic. Entrances off a main route get extra base where trucks turn in.

General asphalt paving & repair

General asphalt work in Sunset Hills covers the jobs that do not fit neatly in a box: alley aprons, walkways, basketball pads, repairs where a utility trench was cut, and overlays that bring a tired surface back. Each one gets the same treatment: a clean edge, a sound base and hot mix rolled tight.

What's under a Sunset Hills driveway

Land in south St. Louis County falls toward the Meramec, and the clay-heavy soils common here drain slowly on the flatter ground above it. Water held under asphalt through a freeze-thaw winter lifts and cracks it. We grade so runoff leaves the surface, strip soft soil, and compact rock in layers.

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.

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

Sunset Hills paving questions

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

Can you repave a long driveway without full replacement?

Sometimes. If the base is sound and the problems are surface cracking and wear, an overlay works. If sections are settling or water is pumping up through cracks, those areas need the base rebuilt. We can rebuild the bad stretches and overlay the rest.

Do you serve Kirkwood, Fenton and Crestwood?

Yes. All three sit within a few miles, and we work throughout south and west St. Louis County plus the rest of greater St. Louis. Estimates are free, and you get 25% off. Call (866) 490-7680.

What kind of base should go under a Sunset Hills driveway?

Typically a compacted crushed-stone base several inches deep on firm soil, with soft spots dug out first, and that holds for any Sunset Hills driveway. On clay soils that hold water, a thicker base and good slope matter even more. The estimate states the base depth so there are no surprises.

Do you have to close the street to pave my drive?

No. Paving a Sunset Hills driveway happens on your property; trucks stage at the curb for the day and the street stays open. If an apron tie-in means a short blocked stretch at the street, we tell you which hours that falls in.
