Affton's older ranch homes sit on modest lots with short driveways that crack early, and the clay beneath the county has already shifted under decades of freeze-thaw cycles. When your driveway starts to fail, you need a local crew who understands why it's happening and how to fix it right.
St. Louis Asphalt Paving has served Affton and the surrounding St. Louis area since 2013. We know the soil conditions here, the seasonal stress that moves your driveway every year, and the tight lot layouts common in 63123. Whether you need a pothole patched, a driveway resurfaced, or a full replacement, we show up with insured crews, written estimates, and tonnage specs. No surprises, no door-to-door sales pitch, just honest work.
Asphalt Paving in Affton (63123)
Affton's problem is beneath your driveway. The clay and loess that sits under your property swells when it absorbs water in spring and shrinks back when it dries in summer and fall. That constant movement cracks asphalt from below, and once the base starts to fail, the surface follows. Freeze-thaw cycles in winter accelerate the damage. Your short driveway on a modest lot makes access tight for paving equipment, and the grade and drainage around your garage apron matter more than most homeowners realize. Water pooling at the garage door is not just a nuisance; it's a sign that the base has settled and the driveway needs work soon.
We've been paving driveways, repairing potholes, and resurfacing lots across St. Louis and the surrounding counties for over a decade. We understand Affton's soil, the seasonal stress on your driveway, and how to build a repair or replacement that will hold through the next ten winters. Our team is fully insured, and we bring written estimates with tonnage and thickness specs so you know exactly what you're getting.

How a Job Works in Affton
We start with a free on-site assessment. You call us at (314) 916-3751, we come out to your property in 63123, measure the area, look at the condition of the base and the surface, and talk through whether repair, resurfacing, or replacement makes sense for your driveway or lot. We'll ask about drainage, access, and any HOA rules that apply. You get a written estimate with tonnage and specs before we start any work.
On the day of the job, our crew handles the work itself. If your driveway needs patching, we clean out the failed area, prepare the base, and set new asphalt. If it's a resurfacing, we mill off the old surface, check the base, and lay down new hot mix. For a full replacement on a tight Affton lot, we work carefully around your property line and any structures close by. We coordinate with the Affton municipal office on any permits your job requires, and if you're in an HOA community, we'll work with you on approvals.
When we're done, we clean up the site, haul away any debris, and walk through the finished work with you. Your driveway or lot is ready to use, and we leave your property clean.
A new asphalt driveway in Affton runs from about $6 per square foot for a straightforward installation on a prepared base. A resurfacing or overlay, where we're laying new asphalt over an existing base, starts around $4 per square foot. Pothole and patch repairs begin at $450 and depend on the size and depth of the damage. A full driveway replacement, which includes milling off the old surface and setting a new base, runs from $7 per square foot. Driveway extensions, widening, or apron work starts around $1,800. The actual cost depends on the square footage, the condition of the base, the thickness we need to set, access for our equipment, and drainage work around your lot. We measure on site, and we give you a written estimate before any work begins. Call us at (314) 916-3751 for a free estimate in Affton.
