Paving across Jefferson County

Jefferson County is hill country. Slopes over 20 percent are common in the north and south of the county, and the high point, Vinegar Hill, runs about 1,060 feet while the Mississippi bottoms drop to around 385 feet. Most of the building is along I-55 through Arnold, Herculaneum, Pevely, Festus and Crystal City, and along the Highway 21 and Highway 30 corridors. About 72 percent of residents live outside any city, on longer drives and private roads.

That is most of the work here: steep driveways, shared drives, farm and access roads, and business lots. Hot-mix asphalt over compacted rock, crowned or cross-sloped so runoff leaves the surface instead of cutting under the edge. On a grade, edge support matters as much as thickness.

Ground and drainage

Ridges near the Mississippi carry thick loess. West and south slopes and the Salem Plateau run to cherty red clay over limestone and dolomite. Both move water fast downhill, and both undercut a driveway edge that was not built for it. Limestone quarries in the county have long supplied aggregate, so good rock is close at hand. We build base and drainage first.

Jefferson County paving questions

Will asphalt hold on a steep driveway?

Yes, when the base and drainage are right. On a grade, water running down the surface is the real problem. We shape the drive so runoff moves to the sides, compact rock in layers, and support the edges so the pavement does not break away from the outside in.

Can you pave over my gravel drive?

Usually. A gravel drive that has been driven for years often has a workable base under it. We regrade it, add and compact rock where it is soft or rutted, then pave. If the ground below is saturated or full of organic material, we dig it out first.
