Asphalt Paving in Stewartsville, MO

Asphalt paving in Stewartsville serves a small town on the highway between St. Joseph and Cameron. Stewartsville was platted in 1854 as Tethertown by George Tetherow and later named for former Missouri governor Robert M. Stewart. A post office has served it since 1855. It sits at 997 feet in southwestern DeKalb County, adjacent to US Route 36. The population peaked at 832 in 1980 and was 733 in 2020.

Older driveways

Most homes in town are well established. Their driveways have usually been patched and sealed over the years. If the base is still sound, an overlay or repairs and a sealcoat can extend their life; if cracks have spread into a web, replacement makes more sense.

Upland ground

Stewartsville is on upland ground where well-drained loess soils are common. Flat lots still need slope so water does not sit at the garage or the street.

Gravel drives

Homes on the edges of town and farms nearby often have gravel. We pave over compacted gravel, usually just the parking area and the stretch near the house.

Highway frontage

Businesses and homes near US 36 see more traffic and more road salt in winter. Sealcoating every few years helps.

Schools

Stewartsville C-2 School District lots are best paved, sealed and striped in summer.

Our approach

We visit, measure, and give you a written quote. Work at a state highway follows the state's rules; we confirm them before scheduling.

Grouped jobs

In a small town, scheduling several homes on one day lowers costs. Tell us if neighbors need work too.

Paving season

Full paving runs from late spring into early fall, when the ground is warm enough for the asphalt to compact. Call in spring for summer scheduling.

Edges and ditches

Some Stewartsville streets have ditches rather than curbs. Driveway edges next to a ditch need soil backfill so they do not slump, and culverts under the driveway should be clear so water does not back up onto the pavement.

Repairs

For driveways with a few bad spots, saw-cut patches rebuild the base under the failure and blend into the rest.
