Wildwood sits on bigger wooded lots at the edge of St. Louis County, where newer construction means wider driveways, longer private roads, and gravel lanes that eventually call for asphalt. We're St. Louis Asphalt Paving, based right here in St. Louis since 2013, and we know the clay, the freeze-thaw cycles, and the grading challenges that come with your neighborhood.
Homeowners in Wildwood (63038) call us when a gravel drive needs to step up to asphalt, when a driveway starts cracking from ground movement, or when a pothole appears after a hard winter. We handle the full range: new driveway paving, repair and resurfacing, gravel installation and grading, and private road work. We're fully insured, we measure and estimate on site, and we give you straight talk about whether your drive needs a patch or a replacement.
Asphalt Paving in Wildwood (63038)
Wildwood's newer lots sit on the expansive clay and loess that underlies all of St. Louis County. That soil swells when it absorbs water in spring and shrinks as it dries in summer, moving whatever sits on top of it. A driveway that cracks or settles unevenly is almost always the clay shifting beneath, not a failure of the asphalt itself. Combine that with more than a hundred freeze-thaw crossings in a typical winter, and you get the potholes and surface breaks that show up after wet springs and hard cold snaps. Wildwood's wooded terrain also means drainage matters: we grade and prepare a proper aggregate base so water moves away from the pavement, not into it.
Our team has been serving Wildwood and the surrounding St. Louis area since 2013. We understand the lot layouts here, the access challenges on wooded properties, and the soil conditions that demand a solid base under new asphalt. We show up with the equipment and crew to handle new driveway paving, resurfacing, pothole and patch repair, gravel installation, and private road work. We're local, we carry full insurance (general liability and workers' compensation), and we give you written estimates with tonnage and thickness specs so you know exactly what you're paying for.

How a Job Works in Wildwood
We start with a free on-site visit. Call us at (314) 916-3751 or reach out online, and we'll come to your property, measure the area, look at the existing surface and base, check drainage and grading, and talk through what makes sense for your drive or lot. We'll give you a written estimate with the scope, materials, and tonnage. No surprises, no pressure.
When we're ready to go, our crew handles the work itself. For a new driveway or resurfacing, we prep the base, bring in a paver and roller, and set the asphalt to the right thickness and compaction. On wooded Wildwood lots, we pay attention to access, grade, and drainage so the finished drive sheds water and lasts. If your property has an HOA or if the work involves an apron, curb cut, or culvert, we help you navigate the local permitting process with the Village of Wildwood. We also call Missouri 811 before any excavation, as required by law.
When we're done, we clean up. You get a finished driveway or lot, and we leave your property the way we found it, minus the pavement.
Pricing for driveway and parking lot work in Wildwood depends on square footage, the condition of the existing base, site access, and the thickness and finish you choose. A new asphalt driveway typically runs from $6 per square foot and up. Resurfacing an existing drive (laying new asphalt over the old surface) starts around $4 per square foot. Repairs like pothole patching or spot fixes start at $450. If you're upgrading from gravel, we can grade and install a recycled asphalt drive starting around $3 per square foot, or a tar and chip surface from $5 per square foot. Private roads and longer installations are quoted on site. The best way to get a real number is a free on-site estimate. Call us at (314) 916-3751 with your address and a description of the work, and we'll set a time to visit, measure, and give you a written quote.
