Asphalt Paving in Riverside, MO

Asphalt Paving in Riverside covers an unusual mix for a city of about 4,000 people. Riverside lies on the edge of the Missouri River, has a casino along the water, a long-running roadside store, a high school, and about 1,753 housing units counted in the 2020 Census. In a city that small, the same streets carry residents, employees and visitors, so we handle both home driveways and commercial lots here.

Rain is the real enemy

Kansas City International Airport, a short drive north, averages about 39.30 inches of precipitation a year and roughly 104 days with measurable rain or snow. That is a lot of water to move off pavement. On ground near a river, water that soaks into the base may not drain away quickly. Asphalt itself sheds water well, but the gravel and soil underneath lose strength when saturated. Every Riverside job starts with where the water goes: how the surface pitches, where it leaves the pavement, and whether it ends up somewhere it can soak back under.

For homeowners

New driveways

We excavate, compact a gravel base, and pave a smooth surface sized for daily cars. Typical residential paving is 2 to 3 inches of asphalt on 6 to 8 inches of compacted gravel.

Repairs that last

A pothole patched with cold mix out of a bag rarely survives a winter. We cut out the damaged area, fix the base, and fill with hot mix compacted in place.

Sealcoating

Once new asphalt has cured for a few months, a sealcoat protects it from sun, water and oil drips.

For business owners

Riverside businesses range from small offices to properties that host large numbers of visitors. Lots that see steady traffic wear fastest at entrances, drive lanes and dumpster pads. We can rebuild those spots with a heavier section, overlay the rest, and then restripe. When a lot is restriped, the 2010 ADA Standards apply to its accessible spaces, so we plan the layout before painting.

Winter after a wet fall

Wet ground going into winter makes freeze damage worse. The metro's average freezing window runs from about October 31 to April 4, and water trapped in cracks or a soggy base expands each time it freezes. That is why we push Riverside customers to seal cracks and fix soft spots in early fall, while the pavement is dry enough to take filler and before the cold sets in.
