What Midtown Pavement Deals With

Midtown is the stretch between downtown and the north side, and it might be the most mixed part of Springfield. Drury University sits in the middle of it, Central High School anchors the west side, and the streets around them run from big old family homes to student rentals to small apartment buildings and churches. Every one of those has pavement, and every kind of pavement problem shows up here.

I run the crew at Springfield Asphalt Contractors, and Midtown work looks different from job to job. One week it is a homeowner on Washington Avenue whose driveway has finally given up. The next it is an apartment lot off Benton that needs patching, sealing and fresh striping before the school year starts.

1

Parking pressure is the first thing. Around Drury and Central High, every drive and lot gets used hard, and a lot of them get used by more cars than they were built for. Pavement wears where wheels turn, and in Midtown wheels turn constantly.

2

Age is the second. Much of the housing stock here is close to a century old, and the drives, aprons and alleys behind them have been patched over and over. Old patches are usually where new cracks start.

3

Water is the third. Older properties often drain toward the house or toward the alley instead of into the street, and standing water is what kills a surface from underneath.

What we do here

Our Services in Midtown

Apartment lots that need patching and restriping between tenants. Driveways on Washington and Benton that were narrow to begin with and are now breaking at the edges. Church lots near Division Street that can only be closed on a weekday. Rental property drives that landlords want sealed on a schedule instead of replaced all at once. Alley aprons behind older homes where the trash truck turns.

The Area We Cover

We work all of Midtown, roughly between Chestnut Expressway to the south, Division Street to the north, National Avenue to the east and Grant Avenue to the west. That includes Washington Avenue, Benton Avenue, Robberson Avenue, Clay Street and the cross streets around the Drury campus and Central High School.

From here we are also a few minutes from downtown, Woodland Heights, Grant Beach and the Commercial Street district, so we often line up work on several nearby properties in the same week.

The Area We Cover

Local Things That Change the Job

School and campus schedules

Lots around Drury and Central are easiest to work in summer or over a break. If we have to do it mid-semester, we stage it in sections so parking never fully disappears.

On-street parking

Some blocks are packed by evening. We schedule early starts where that matters so our equipment is not fighting for room.

Alley access

Plenty of Midtown properties are served from the alley. Those aprons take the worst beating and are usually the first thing worth repairing.

Rental turnover

Landlords here often want work done between leases. Tell us your turnover window and we will build the schedule around it.

Curing time

New asphalt needs about three days before vehicles park on it, and sealer needs to stay dry overnight. In a busy rental lot, that has to be planned, not assumed. City street work in the area is listed by City of Springfield Public Works.

Fair Pricing, in Writing

Estimates are free and the number is written down before we start. If a patch and a seal coat will hold your lot for another few years, I will quote that instead of a repave. Property managers in this neighborhood own more than one building, and I would rather do five honest small jobs than one oversold big one.

Midtown Questions, Answered

Do you handle tight lots and alley jobs in Midtown?
Yes. Small lots, shared drives and alley aprons are routine work for us here.
How quickly can you get out for an estimate?
Usually within a day or two. Call (417) 319-2693 and we will schedule a look.
Do you work near Drury University and Central High School?
Often. We plan those jobs around class schedules and event days when we can.
Can you work around student parking and busy streets?
Yes. We stage lots in sections and run early mornings or weekends so tenants and students keep somewhere to park.
Do you offer same day or next day service?
For urgent repairs, often yes. Paving and sealcoating are weather dependent and get scheduled.
What kinds of projects do you do in this area?
Driveways, apartment and church lots, alley aprons, striping, concrete aprons and sidewalks, plus drainage fixes when water is the real problem.
How much does it cost to seal a parking lot?
It depends on square footage, how dirty the surface is and how much crack filling it needs first. We measure and quote it free, in writing.
How long does asphalt take to dry?
You can walk on it the same evening. Give it about three days before parking on it, a little longer in humid weather.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace a lot?
Repair is almost always cheaper, and it is the right answer when the base is still sound. When the surface is cracked in a scale pattern across most of the lot, the base has failed and replacement is the only fix that lasts.
Do you do striping and ADA spaces?
Yes, including fire lanes and accessible spaces laid out to code, usually right after a seal coat has cured.
