Hot-mix asphalt, laid right in Weldon Spring

Highway 40 has two interchanges inside this small city, one at Highway 94 and one at Research Park Circle. That makes a short trip for equipment and steady traffic past the commercial edges. We pave driveways and parking lots here, plus subdivision streets and private drives.

Weldon Spring was platted in 1864 and named for a spring near the original town site. All of it falls in the Francis Howell School District, and the housing sits on ground that rolls enough to matter. Drives are often long and sloped. We grade them to drain, build a compacted rock base and place hot-mix asphalt in lifts. Free estimate at (866) 490-7680, with 25% off.

Driveway paving in Weldon Spring

A long drive with any fall on it needs a plan for water before it needs thickness. We set the crown or cross slope, cut out soft soil, and compact rock in layers. The county soil survey notes some upland soils here lack strength for traffic without added crushed rock, so we add it. Home drives typically finish at 2 to 3 inches of compacted hot mix.

Parking lot paving in Weldon Spring

Offices near Research Park Circle, churches, and small commercial lots along Highway 94 take delivery trucks on top of daily car traffic. We size the base to the heaviest vehicle, lay out parking and drainage together, and pave in lifts. Sections can be done in turn so a lot keeps working through the job.

Parking lot paving

Road construction & private roads

Subdivision streets and private drives here carry school buses, trash trucks and moving vans every week. Those loads need deeper base and thicker asphalt than a car drive. We compact the base in layers, crown the surface, and build ditches and culverts into the plan rather than adding them later.

General asphalt paving & repair

Sidewalk-to-driveway transitions, trail connections, subdivision patches and small pads are all part of the work around Weldon Spring. Small jobs still get a compacted base, clean saw-cut edges and a proper tie-in to the existing pavement.

What's under a Weldon Spring driveway

Clayey subsoils with high shrink-swell potential are common on St. Charles County uplands, and they move as they wet and dry. Freeze-thaw winters add to it. Crushed rock in the base is what holds a surface steady, so we dig out weak material, compact rock in lifts and grade so water leaves quickly.

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

Weldon Spring paving questions

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

My driveway cracks in the same place every year. Why?

That usually means the base under that spot moves. Clayey subsoil swells when wet and shrinks when dry, and frost lifts it in winter. Patching the crack treats the symptom. We open the area, find what is holding water, rebuild the base and pave over something stable.

Do you pave in Cottleville, Dardenne Prairie and St. Peters as well?

Yes. We cover this part of St. Charles County, including Cottleville, Dardenne Prairie, St. Peters, O'Fallon and Weldon Spring Heights, plus greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Estimates are free, and the work is 25% off.

What goes into the price of paving in Weldon Spring?

On a Weldon Spring job the price comes down to size, how much base work is needed, the asphalt thickness, whether old pavement has to come out, drainage fixes and how easily trucks can reach the work. Your written estimate lists each of those so you can compare it with other bids line by line.

Can you widen a driveway for a second car?

Yes, widening is routine work in Weldon Spring. The added strip gets its own base, is tied into the existing pavement with a clean edge so the seam does not open, and is rolled with the rest so the surface reads as one driveway.
