Sound familiar?
Between the Gasconade's bottomland and the rocky Ozark hills, Laclede County lanes and lots take a beating from water and traffic.
- Spring floods and heavy rain leave river bottom lanes soft, muddy and full of holes.
- Campground and RV park loops near the trout park turn to dust in summer and mud in the off season.
- Business lots along the old Route 66 corridor crack, pothole and send customers bouncing to the door.
Local conditions
Springs, rivers and rocky hills
Laclede County sits where the rolling plateau gives way to rougher Ozark hills, cut by the Gasconade River, the Osage Fork and the Niangua along the west side. This is spring country, with Bennett Spring the best known and many smaller springs and losing streams across the karst. Soils run from stony, cherty clay on the slopes to deeper silt in the river bottoms, and dolomite bedrock lies close to the surface in many spots. Bottomland lanes can flood after big storms, while hill lanes wash out from fast runoff. Winters bring freeze and thaw, and summers are hot and humid with heavy traffic heading to the rivers.
What we see most in Laclede County
Flooded bottomland lanes
Lanes that run along the river bottoms go under or stay soggy after big rains. They need a firm base and good shape to bounce back.
Campground wear
Parks and camps that fill up in trout season see constant traffic on their loops. Gravel there grinds down fast and throws dust over every site.
Washouts on hill lanes
Steep drives up from the creeks shed water fast and lose their rock with it. Ruts form down the tire tracks within a season or two.
Aging lots in town
Many lots and drives in town were paved decades ago and have gone brittle. Cracks let water in, and potholes follow each winter.
The solution
Roads That Respect the Rivers
Water is the big challenge here, and we plan for it.
Maybe your lane floods every spring, or your campground looks worn out before the season even starts. In country full of springs and rivers, water finds every weak spot. You want a surface that can take it without constant fixing.
For 15 years our family owned and operated business has laid asphalt and chip seal. We work on home driveways, ranch and farm roads, commercial parking lots and RV parks across Southwest Missouri. A 1 year warranty covers our work.
We'll shape and surface your lane, lot or loop to handle the water, at a reasonable price.

What you get
Handles High Water Better
Firm base and shaped edges
A surface laid on a firm base and shaped to drain recovers much better after a flood or a heavy rain. Loose gravel tends to wash off downstream.
Ready for the Crowds
Chip seal for busy loops
Sealed stone stands up to steady campground and park traffic and keeps the dust down. Guests notice a clean, firm road the moment they pull in.
A Better First Look
Fresh asphalt for lots and drives
Customers judge a business by its parking lot, and neighbors notice a fresh drive. A clean asphalt surface makes a strong first impression.

Our recommendation
For campgrounds, RV parks and long country lanes, chip seal usually makes the most sense, since it seals the stone, cuts dust and covers big areas for less than paving usually would. For home driveways and business lots in Lebanon, asphalt paving gives a smoother, cleaner surface that suits daily traffic. We'll check the drainage, the slope and any flood risk at your free on-site estimate and give you our honest pick.

FAQ
Laclede County questions
Still have questions? Call (816) 375-1940. We pick up.
Can a lane in the Gasconade bottoms survive flooding?+
No surface is flood proof, but a firm base and good shape help a lane recover instead of washing away. Chip seal and asphalt usually hold together far better than loose gravel in moving water. We'll look at how often your lane floods and plan around it.
Is chip seal a good choice for a campground near Bennett Spring?+
Chip seal is a popular choice for campground loops because it handles steady traffic and keeps dust down. Big rigs turning tight can scuff the top, so we plan those corners carefully. We're happy to walk the park with you.
Do you pave business lots along Route 66 in town?+
Yes, we pave commercial parking lots, including older lots that need a new asphalt surface. We'll look at drainage and traffic flow at the free estimate. Our working hours are weekdays, so we'll plan around your business.
What about the springs and wet spots on my property?+
Springs and seeps are common in this karst country, and they can keep the ground under a lane soft all year. Paving right over a wet spot rarely works well. We'll find those spots at the estimate and talk about how they affect the plan.
Do you work out near Conway and Phillipsburg along I-44?+
Yes, we cover the whole county, including the towns along the interstate and farms back on the gravel roads. Give us a call and we'll set up a visit.
