Main routes: I-70
Natural Bridge Road, Woodson Road and Edmundson Road carry most of the traffic through this small mid-county city, with I-70 along one side. Businesses sit on those roads and houses sit on the quieter blocks behind them, so we pave both: commercial parking lots out front, driveways and aprons back in the neighborhoods.
Woodson Terrace was incorporated in 1946, and much of the housing dates from around then. Drives that old have thin base rock under them, and a thin base cracks first. We remove the failed material, dig out soft ground, compact fresh rock in layers, then place hot-mix asphalt in lifts and roll it hot. Free estimate at (866) 490-7680, with 25% off.
A single-width drive next to a post-war house has a short run and a hard job: it carries every vehicle, every day, over base that was probably thin to start with. We cut back to solid material, rebuild the base, and pave with hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for a home drive. The apron at the street gets extra base because that is where the load concentrates.
Driveway pavingOffices, shops, churches and small commercial buildings along Natural Bridge Road and Woodson Road need lots that take delivery trucks, vans and constant turnover. We set base depth to the heaviest vehicle, lay out parking and drainage together, and pave in lifts. Lots can be phased so a business keeps an entrance and a path open.
Parking lot pavingApartment access drives, shared lanes and private roads here carry trash trucks and delivery vans week in and week out. We compact the base in layers, crown the surface so water runs to the edges, and match asphalt thickness to the actual load instead of treating every surface the same.
Road constructionNot every job is a full rebuild. On older Woodson Terrace 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.
Asphalt paving
Loess over clay is the rule across St. Louis County, and the county soil survey warns that local streets need adequate base material plus side ditches and culverts because of low strength and frost action. Winters here cycle above and below freezing for months. We grade for water, compact rock, then pave.
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. We split it into sections and pave one at a time, keeping an entrance and a driving path open throughout. New asphalt needs curing time before heavy traffic, so the phases are planned around that. We map it out with you before the work starts.
Yes. We work across mid and north St. Louis County, including Edmundson, St. Ann, St. John, Berkeley and Overland, plus the City of St. Louis and the Metro East. Estimates are free, and you get 25% off the work.
It helps, because you know where water sits on the Woodson Terrace 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.
Plan on keeping cars off new asphalt for two to three days in mild weather, and longer through a hot Woodson Terrace summer. Fresh pavement stays soft while it cures, so turning tires on a parked car is what leaves scuff marks.
We pave all around Woodson Terrace, across St. Louis County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
