Paving at the Highway Crossroads
Asphalt paving in Cameron covers homes, highway businesses and large institutional lots. Cameron was platted in 1855 after the railroad found the earlier Somerville site too steep, and it took its name from Malinda Cameron, the maiden name of the wife of Samuel McCorkle, who platted it. Most of the city is in Clinton County, with parts in DeKalb and Caldwell. The population was 8,312 in 2000, 9,933 in 2010 and 8,513 in 2020. US 36 runs north of town and the city has grown east toward Interstate 35.
Weather
Cameron's records show 39.20 inches of precipitation and 21.7 inches of snow a year, with a record low of minus 27 and a record high of 109. Heavy rain and freeze-thaw are the main enemies of asphalt here. Drainage and crack sealing matter most.
Institutional lots
Western Missouri Correctional Center is the largest employer, with about 700 workers, and Crossroads Correctional Center and the Missouri Veterans Home are also in Cameron. Large staff and visitor lots need phased repairs and regular maintenance.
Highway businesses
Truck stops, restaurants and shops near US 36 and I-35 need thicker asphalt where trucks turn and park. We design those areas separately from car parking.
Homes
Older homes near downtown and McCorkle Park often have patched driveways; newer homes on the edges need maintenance. We tell you which category yours is in.
Our approach
Site visit, written quote, phased work for lots. If work reaches a city street or state highway, we confirm the requirements first.
Heavy rain
With more than 39 inches of precipitation a year, Cameron gets heavy storms that test drainage. Low spots, downspouts that empty onto pavement and blocked culverts all show up as early failures. We check each of these before quoting.
Neighbors together
When several homes on a street need sealing or crack work, scheduling them together lowers costs.
