Paving Uplands Park from the base up

Small homes on small lots, incorporated in 1941, with Village Hall right on Natural Bridge Road. That is the village in a sentence, and it tells you what the paving looks like: short driveways, narrow approaches and small lots serving the buildings along the corridor.

Drives this age are usually sitting on a base that was thin to begin with and has settled since. A surface patch over that fails the same way in a season or two, so we rebuild what needs rebuilding. Natural Bridge Road itself carries the commercial traffic, and lots on it need entrances and drainage handled first. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.

Driveway paving in Uplands Park

A short drive on a small lot still has to handle daily parking, and the apron at the street takes the worst of it. We remove failed material, compact rock in layers, and place hot-mix asphalt, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups. Where there is room, widening a few feet or adding a pad alongside gives real parking, and the new section gets its own base.

Parking lot paving in Uplands Park

Lots along Natural Bridge Road serve shops, churches and small offices, and they take backing and turning in tight space. We plan the entrance and stall layout with drainage, build the base for delivery vehicles rather than cars, and place asphalt in lifts. A small lot can be paved in halves so it stays usable.

Parking lot paving

Road construction & private roads

We pave private drives, apartment access lanes, alley approaches and the service pads behind buildings. Each gets grading, a compacted base and a slope that moves water to the street instead of against a foundation. The entrance off Natural Bridge Road gets extra base where trucks turn in from the corridor.

General asphalt paving & repair

Not every job is a full rebuild. On older Uplands Park pavement we often start with the smaller fixes: cutting out a failed patch, resetting a sunken section by the garage, or putting a fresh overlay over a surface whose base is still sound. We tell you which of those your asphalt actually needs, and we put it in writing.

Built for Uplands Park's ground

Clay-heavy soils common around St. Louis hold water, and small older lots often drain toward the street on grades set long ago. Once that water sits under asphalt and freezes, the surface lifts. We fix the grade where we can, take out soft soil, and compact the rock base in layers before paving.

When you compare bids, ask each contractor for three numbers in writing: the compacted asphalt thickness, the base depth, and what happens to the water. Those three decide how long the surface lasts.

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

Uplands Park paving questions

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

Is a small driveway worth doing properly?

Yes. A small drive fails for the same reasons a big one does: a thin base and water sitting under it. Doing the base right costs more up front than a surface patch and lasts far longer. We will show you what is under yours.

Do you work in Pine Lawn, Normandy and Velda City?

Yes. Those villages are all within about a mile, and we work throughout north and mid St. Louis County plus the rest of greater St. Louis. Estimates are free, and you get 25% off. Call (866) 490-7680.

Can you pave over my old asphalt?

Sometimes. If the base under your Uplands Park 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.

Do you handle alley aprons and shared drives?

Yes. Shared drives and alley aprons in Uplands Park get the same treatment as any other job: a firm base, a clean saw-cut edge where new meets old, and a surface shaped to move water. When a drive is shared, it helps if every owner sees the estimate.
