Chesterfield's newer subdivisions and retail corridors sit on bigger suburban lots and larger commercial pads than the old city, and that means your driveway and parking lot sit on clay that swells when it absorbs water and shrinks when it dries, moving whatever sits on top of it every season.
St. Louis Asphalt Paving has been serving Chesterfield (63017) and the surrounding St. Louis area since 2013. We know the soil under your driveway, the freeze-thaw cycle that cracks it, and the proper aggregate base that keeps it standing. When your driveway shows alligator cracking, your parking lot holds water after a wet spring, or a pothole opens up after winter, we show up with a written estimate, honest advice on whether to patch or replace, and a crew that finishes the job right.
Asphalt Paving in Chesterfield (63017)
Chesterfield's larger residential lots and commercial pads demand a different approach than the tight urban driveways closer to the city. Your driveway sits on expansive clay and loess that moves with the seasons. A proper aggregate base, compacted and proof-rolled before the asphalt goes down, is what keeps your drive stable through a hundred freeze-thaw crossings in a typical St. Louis winter. Without it, the clay shifts, the asphalt cracks, and water works its way down to break the pavement from below.
Potholes and alligator cracking are the most common problems we see in Chesterfield after a wet spring followed by freeze-thaw cycles. Parking lots fail from the bottom up when the base has not been built right. We have been paving driveways, parking lots, and private roads across the St. Louis area since 2013. We know what holds and what does not, and we build it right the first time.

How a Job Works in Chesterfield
We start with a free on-site assessment. We look at the lot size, the slope and drainage, the condition of the existing pavement or base, and the access for our equipment. We measure the area, note the thickness you need, and give you a written estimate with tonnage specs so you know exactly what you are paying for.
The work itself depends on what your driveway or lot needs. If you need resurfacing, we mill off the old surface, proof-roll the base, and lay new asphalt. If the base is gone, we do a full-depth replacement, which means removing everything down to the subgrade, bringing in new aggregate, compacting it properly, and paving on top. If your lot has a drainage problem or a low spot that holds water, we grade it right and build the base so water sheds away from your garage or your building. We coordinate with your HOA if you are in a master-planned community, and we help you navigate any local permits that Chesterfield or your village requires.
When we are done, we clean up. Your driveway or lot is ready to use, and we walk you through what to expect as the asphalt cures.
Driveway paving in Chesterfield typically starts at $6 per square foot for a new installation on a prepared base, and resurfacing runs from $4 per square foot. A repair or pothole patch starts at $450. The real cost depends on the size of the area, the condition of the base underneath, whether you need grading or drainage work, and how thick the asphalt needs to be to handle the soil movement in your neighborhood. Parking lot paving is quoted on site because commercial work varies widely by size and base condition. We provide a free estimate for any job. Call us at (314) 916-3751 to schedule an assessment, or describe your project and we will give you a ballpark range.
