We specialize in constructing the best asphalt driveways in St.
Louis. Asphalt driveways are a great way to update your home to give
it a fresh look. Be assured that we pay attention to all details.
Proper drainage, straight edges, shapely edges, smooth finish, adequate
thickness, and flush transitions are details in your asphalt driveway
that should not be overlooked. We will deliver the best residential
driveway you can ask for.
This
process of constructing a residential driveway involves us removing
your old asphalt or concrete surface. Your existing rock base will be
left intact unless you decide to upgrade to our Perma-Base system. We
will then install additional rock to increase the overall strength of
your new asphalt driveway. The base rock is thoroughly compacted
before paving. The last step before paving your driveway is drawing
out the edges and perimeter of the driveway and checking the base rock
to make sure enough slope is present for water to drain off the
surface. Next we install our commercial grade hot asphalt with a self
propelled paver. The new asphalt is compacted and allowed time to set
up before opening to vehicles. There are many more details involved in
paving your driveway so feel free to ask us about questions you may
have.
Here are some advantages to removing and replacing your old asphalt driveway with a new asphalt driveway.
- Weak areas in your base rock can be removed and replaced.
- Drainage issues such as basement leaks or water puddles in your garage can be fixed.
- Our minimum thickness is 2.5" compacted; which will give you a superior surface. More thickness can be added if desired.
- If your current driveway has crooked edges we can get them as straight as possible when installing a new driveway.
- Drainage systems or other utility conduit can be added easily.
- Cobblestone borders can be added easily.
- New surfaces are paved at a thicker depth compared to overlays. -
This gives you a smoother, more consistent finish. It also allows us
more time to work with the asphalt material since it retains its heat
longer.
- We can alter the design of your existing driveway by widening or adding on to it.
Our estimator will help guide you through the process to make a decision that gives you the best results for your investment.
This
process of constructing a residential driveway involves us removing
sections of your existing asphalt surface. We do this in order to be
sure of two things: 1.) There will be enough slope present for water to
drain away from structures. 2.) There will be a smooth transition with
a consistently paved layer of asphalt. - We never "glue" driveways to
an adjoining surface such as a street. Instead we will saw-cut an
existing section to be sure the new layer of asphalt is thick and sits
flush with adjoining pavements. If this is not done the driveway can
be damaged by snow plows or will eventually erode away since the layer
of asphalt is too thin to retain strength. Before paving the driveway
we will clear edges of vegetation and debris. This helps us to
establish a consistent edge. We will straighten crooked edges to the
best of our ability, but cannot guarantee it will be straight as a
driveway constructed from scratch. Next we will clean the surface and
install optional crack barrier (Petro-Tac
<http://www.ccpstl.com/crackbarrier>) if you have elected to do
so. Any low or deteriorated areas will be shored up with hot asphalt
prior to installing the new pavement. Finally, the last step before
paving the driveway is coating the surface with an asphalt emulsion.
This acts as a primer that will bond the two surfaces together. Next
we install our commercial grade hot asphalt with a self propelled
paver. The new asphalt is compacted and allowed time to set up before
opening to vehicles. There are many more details involved in paving
your driveway so feel free to ask us about questions you may have.
Here are some advantages to resurfacing / overlaying your old asphalt driveway with a new layer of asphalt.
- Because we are adding a layer to your existing driveway labor and
material costs are greatly reduced. This of course translates into
savings for you. This doesn't mean you are getting a "cheaper"
driveway. In fact you may end up having a far superior driveway when
compared to other processes; depending on the condition of your
existing asphalt.
- Major cracks can be reduced or eliminated in a controlled fashion
because we know where the expansion is taking place that causes
cracks. We do this by installing a membrane that allows expansion to
take place below the surface without transmitting a new crack through
the surface. If the crack barrier is not used the old cracks will
likely come through the new surface. - This phenomenon is called
reflective cracking.
- If your current driveway has crooked edges we straighten them out
as much as possible. At the very least, they will have a defined more
consistent look when we are finished.
- A (heating system can be added to an overlay far easier than a
brand new driveway. Heated driveways will melt away ice and snow in
the winter time.
Our estimator
will help guide you through the process to make a decision that gives
you the best results for your investment. In many cases resurfacing
cannot be done because of drainage constraints. If there is not enough
slope available to install an additional surface, the driveway will
have to be removed and replaced.
Are you building a new home or
constructing a new garage? Whatever your project consists of, we will
pave a beautiful asphalt driveway for your home. We will work with you
or your engineer on making sure your expectations are met properly. We
offer plenty of options when constructing residential asphalt
driveways. If starting from dirt, we recommend letting us sub-grade
your driveway to make sure proper depth is left for rock and pavement.
Our Perma-Base system is also a must to ensure the best performance
from your pavement. A minimum of 6 inches of compacted rock is used by
our methods. More can be added if desired. The base rock is
thoroughly compacted before paving. The last step before paving your
driveway is drawing out the edges and perimeter of the driveway and
checking the base rock to make sure enough slope is present for water
to drain off the surface. Next we install our commercial grade hot
asphalt with a self propelled paver. The new asphalt is compacted and
allowed time to set up before opening to vehicles. There are many more
details involved in paving your driveway so feel free to ask us about
questions you may have.
Here are some advantages to constructing a new asphalt driveway.
- When constructed with Perma-Base you are virtually eliminating
cracks and base failures. Your load rating is also increased
substantially.
- Our minimum thickness is 2.5" compacted; which will give you a superior surface. More thickness can be added if desired.
- Cobblestone borders can be added easily.
- Drainage systems, irrigation, or other utility conduit can be added easily.
- Materials are typically more affordable than other types of surfaces.
- Asphalt surfaces can be repaired easily if damaged. We can achieve seamless repairs through our infrared process.

Are you tired of trying to
remove snow and ice from your driveway? Is the snow plow driver
damaging your driveway or landscaping? Instead of getting heated about
snow and ice, why not make your driveway do it? Heaters can be added
to a driveway easily in the overlay / resurfacing process. We can also
install heaters in new driveways too. Creve Coeur Paving is St. Louis'
only paving contractor that offers such conveniences. Ice and snow
will be melted away within 8 minutes of the system activating. You'll
be left with a path that is hazard free.
We offer the following systems:
- Simple, plug in system that heats two tracks for your tires to ride within.
- Automatic systems that come on when precipitation and temperature are right.
- Large systems that come on in zones, much like an irrigation system.
- Large pads or areas that remove snow and ice from an entire area.
These systems are fully custom tailored to your needs. We will
work with licensed electricians to make sure your system is installed
properly and performs flawlessly. If possible, have the amperage
rating of your household system available so that we can assist you
faster. For more information click here.
