Asphalt Paving in Gower, MO

Asphalt paving in Gower is mostly homes and a few community lots. Gower was named for A. G. Gower, a railroad official, and straddles Buchanan and Clinton counties. It stayed under 450 people for decades, then grew from 406 in 1960 to 1,276 in 1980 and 1,533 in 2020. It sits at 984 feet, and the East Buchanan County C-1 School District has its headquarters and its high, middle and elementary schools in town.

Driveways from the growth years

Many homes in Gower were built during the 1960s and 1970s growth. Their driveways are now 40 to 60 years old and have often been overlaid or patched. We check the base and heights and tell you whether repair, resurfacing or replacement makes sense.

School traffic

With all three schools in town, buses and parents add traffic at set times. We stage equipment so streets stay open. School and community lots are best paved, sealed and striped in summer.

Gravel and acreages

Homes on the edges of town and in the countryside often have gravel drives. We pave over compacted gravel with added stone where needed, often just the parking area and the stretch near the house.

Two metro areas

The Buchanan County part of Gower is in the St. Joseph metro, and the Clinton County part is in the Kansas City metro. For paving, what matters is who maintains your road; we confirm local requirements before any work at the street.

Our approach

Site visit, written quote, paving in warm, dry weather.

Care

Crack sealing before winter and a sealcoat every few years.

Paving season

Asphalt work in northwest Missouri runs from late spring into early fall, when the ground is warm enough for the mix to compact. Call in spring to get on the schedule before summer.

Settlement and edges

On older lots, the end of the driveway near the street often settles or breaks. We cut back to sound pavement, rebuild the base and patch so the edge is supported.

Writing it down

Every quote lists removal, base work, asphalt thickness and finishing separately, so you can compare it with other bids line by line.
