Ferguson's older residential blocks are lined with narrow driveways running back to detached garages, built on clay and loess that shifts with every freeze-thaw cycle and wet spring. When that ground moves, your driveway cracks, your apron sinks at the street line, and water pools where it shouldn't. St. Louis Asphalt Paving has been fixing these problems in Ferguson (63135) and across the St. Louis area since 2013.

We know the dense grid of brick homes and tight lot layouts around Ferguson's central neighborhoods, and we understand why the ground here breaks asphalt differently than it does in the newer subdivisions west of the city. Our crews are local, fully insured, and we show up with written estimates that name the thickness and tonnage of material we're putting down. That's how you know what you're paying for.

Asphalt Paving in Ferguson (63135)

Ferguson's driveways fail in predictable ways because of what's underneath them. The clay and loess that supports your home swells when it absorbs water in spring and contracts when it dries in summer, moving the ground beneath your pavement a little bit with every cycle. Over a few years, that movement cracks asphalt and breaks the apron where your driveway meets the street. Add a hundred freeze-thaw crossings in a typical St. Louis winter, and you get potholes in parking lots and alley approaches that were solid last fall.

The tight lot layouts in Ferguson's older neighborhoods also mean we're working in close quarters. A rear-lot garage accessed by a narrow side drive requires careful equipment placement and often a smaller crew footprint than suburban work. We've been doing this in Ferguson for over a decade, and we know how to get a paver and a roller into spaces where a traveling crew would struggle. We also coordinate with Ferguson's Building Division and your HOA if one exists, because permits and architectural standards vary block to block.

A proper asphalt driveway here starts with a solid aggregate base, set at the right thickness to handle the clay movement and the freeze-thaw load. We specify that base in writing, along with the hot mix asphalt thickness, so you know exactly what's going in the ground.

How a Job Works in Ferguson

We start with a free on-site visit to your Ferguson property. We measure the area, look at the existing pavement and subgrade, check drainage and lot access, and talk through what's failing and why. If your driveway is cracked but the base is solid, resurfacing or a thin overlay makes sense and costs less than full replacement. If the base has failed or your lot is badly broken up, we explain that too, and we give you a written estimate with tonnage and thickness so you know what you're paying for.

When we're ready to work, we coordinate with Ferguson's Building Division if permits are required for your project (they are for aprons, culverts, and curb cuts in Ferguson, so we help you navigate that). We also verify utility locations through Missouri 811 before we dig. Our crew shows up with the equipment and materials we've specified, does the work cleanly, and leaves your property swept and ready. You get a final walkthrough so you can see what we've done.

A new asphalt driveway in Ferguson typically runs from $6 per square foot and up, depending on the size, the base condition, and site access. Resurfacing an existing driveway (if the base is sound) starts around $4 per square foot. A pothole or localized patch repair runs from $450 and up. A full driveway replacement, which includes milling out the old asphalt and setting a new base, starts from $7 per square foot. Parking lot work and private road paving are quoted on site. The key cost factors are square footage, whether the base needs work or replacement, lot access for our equipment, and the thickness we specify for your soil and climate. We'll give you a free written estimate at (314) 916-3751. Call us, or stop by our office in St. Louis and we'll walk you through the numbers.

Why does my Ferguson driveway crack and sink even though it's only a few years old?

Ferguson sits on expansive clay and loess that swells when wet and shrinks when dry, moving the ground beneath your pavement every season. Add a hundred freeze-thaw cycles in a typical St. Louis winter, and that movement cracks asphalt and breaks the base. The problem isn't your driveway, it's the ground under it. A proper aggregate base set at the right thickness, and hot mix asphalt installed correctly, will hold up to that movement much better than a thin overlay on poor subgrade. That's why we always look at what's underneath before we quote a job.

I have potholes in my Ferguson driveway after this winter. Can you patch them, or do I need a whole new driveway?

Potholes usually mean the base has failed in that spot, letting water in and breaking up the asphalt from below. A single pothole or two can be patched for $450 and up, and that repair will hold if the rest of your driveway is sound. If you have potholes scattered across the drive, or if the asphalt is crazing and cracking all over, patching throws money away. At that point, resurfacing (if the base is still good) or full replacement (if the base has failed) makes more sense. Call us at (314) 916-3751 and we'll come out and tell you which one applies to your drive.

What does a Ferguson driveway cost, and what factors change the price?

A new driveway runs roughly $6 per square foot and up. Resurfacing an existing driveway runs around $4 per square foot. A full replacement with base work runs $7 per square foot and up. The actual cost depends on the size of the area, the condition of the base (does it need repair or full replacement?), site access (tight lots in Ferguson cost more to work in), and the thickness we specify for your soil and climate. We give free written estimates with tonnage and thickness spelled out. Call (314) 916-3751.

Do I need a permit from Ferguson to pave my driveway?

Ferguson requires permits for driveway aprons (the section where your drive meets the street), curb cuts, culverts, and any work that changes stormwater drainage or impervious surface. A simple driveway replacement on an existing footprint may not require a permit, but the apron and any widening or extension almost certainly will. The rules vary, so verify with Ferguson's Building Division before you start. We help homeowners navigate the permit process once we've quoted the job.

I live in a Ferguson neighborhood with an HOA. Do I need HOA approval before paving my driveway?

Many Ferguson neighborhoods have HOA architectural standards that govern driveway materials, color, and whether you can extend or widen your drive. You'll need to check your HOA covenants or contact your HOA board. Some HOAs require approval before any paving work starts. We coordinate with your HOA once you've gotten approval, and we make sure the finished work meets their standards. If you have questions about whether your drive is on your property or a shared lot, a property survey will settle it, and your HOA can tell you if one is required.

Are your crews insured?

Yes. We are fully insured with general liability and workers' compensation coverage. You can ask to see our insurance certificate before we start work.

When is the best time to pave a driveway in Ferguson, and how should I care for new asphalt?

Spring through fall is paving season in Ferguson, when the ground is stable and the weather is dry. We avoid heavy rain and frost. New asphalt needs time to cure before you seal it, typically six to twelve months. During that curing period, avoid heavy loads and sharp turns if you can, because the asphalt is still hardening. Do not seal-coat new asphalt during the first year. Once it's fully cured, regular sweeping and keeping water off the surface will extend its life. If you notice small cracks starting, call us and we can talk about whether filling them makes sense, but that's a separate maintenance task down the road.
