Paving Weingarten from the base up

Missouri's first improved road ran from Ste. Genevieve toward Iron Mountain on oak planks nailed across heavy timbers. Road building has moved on since. We pave driveways and parking lots along Highway 32 and the county roads off it, on a compacted rock base with hot-mix asphalt placed in lifts.

Weingarten was founded in 1837 and named for a town in Wurttemberg; the word means vineyard. Our Lady Help of Christians has been the parish church since 1872. Places like this need drives, church lots and farm yards that hold up under trucks and freeze-thaw winters, so we grade for water first. Estimates are free and the work is 25% off. Call (866) 490-7680.

Driveway paving in Weingarten

Rural drives out here run long, often several hundred feet from Highway 32 or a county road to the house. Water running down the wheel tracks is what ruins them. We crown the surface, shape the shoulders, dig out soft ground and compact rock in layers before paving with hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for home use. Where a truck turns, we add depth.

Parking lot paving in Weingarten

Church lots, shop pads, equipment yards and farm lots around here take tractors, trailers and delivery trucks. Those loads call for deeper base than a car lot needs. We build to the heaviest vehicle, pave in lifts, and grade so water reaches a planned outlet instead of standing in a corner.

Road construction & private roads

Private roads, field lanes and access drives connect houses and fields to Highway 32. Each one gets a compacted base, a crown, and culverts sized for the ditch it crosses. Chip seal and recycled millings are practical, lower-cost surfaces for a long lane that carries light traffic most of the year.

General asphalt paving & repair

Out around Weingarten, 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.

Ground, water and winter in Weingarten

A karst plain of thick loess over limestone runs through this county, and the soil survey notes sinkholes make some of it poor ground for building. We look for soft spots and low areas before pricing a job, dig out weak material, compact rock in lifts and set drainage so water leaves before a freeze can lift the surface.

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.

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

Weingarten paving questions

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

Are sinkholes a concern when paving near Weingarten?

They can be. This part of Ste. Genevieve County sits on a karst plain of loess over limestone, with sinkholes and sinkhole ponds through it. We walk the site, look for settling and soft ground, and build the base accordingly. If something looks unstable, we say so before paving.

Can you pave a church or parish lot?

Yes. Church lots are regular work for us: layout, entrance, base and drainage planned together, then hot-mix asphalt placed in lifts and rolled. Work can be scheduled around weekend services so the lot is usable when people need it. Estimates are free, and you get 25% off.

How long does a new asphalt driveway take in Weingarten?

Most Weingarten driveways are paved in one to two days once the base is ready, with more time if the old surface has to come out or the base needs rebuilding. You can usually walk on it the same day and drive on it after a few days, depending on the weather.

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 Weingarten. 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.
