Driveway repair, replacement and sealcoating for one of Springfield's oldest neighborhoods — tree roots, narrow drives and all.
Tell us about the surface and we respond the same business day.
Woodland Heights sits just north of downtown, and it is one of the older parts of Springfield. Big shade trees, brick streets in places, homes built long before anyone owned two cars, and driveways that were poured or paved narrow because that is all anyone needed back then.
I run the crew at Springfield Asphalt Contractors, and this neighborhood keeps us busy for a simple reason. Old pavement plus old trees plus Missouri weather adds up to cracked, lifted and worn out driveways. The good news is that most of it can be repaired or resurfaced instead of torn out.
Tree roots are the big one. The maples and oaks that make this neighborhood beautiful also run their roots straight under driveways and push slabs up from below. You end up with a raised edge, a crack across the middle, or a low spot that holds water after every rain.
Age is the second one. A lot of drives here are original, or were patched decades ago with whatever material was cheap that year. Those patches shrink at a different rate than the surface around them and open right back up.
Then there is the everyday problem of width. Many drives here were built for one narrow car and now hold a pickup and a work van. Edges break away because nothing supports them.
We handle the whole surface, not one slice of it:
for new driveways, replacements and widenings
on a two to three year cycle
driveways, aprons, sidewalks and steps
and grading where water runs the wrong way
for church, school and small apartment lots
for private drives
We are a family owned business in Springfield, Missouri. Our crew is trained on the equipment they run, we carry insurance, and we work as a licensed contractor in the city.
On a street like this, that matters in small ways. We protect the grass and the tree roots we can protect. We keep the street passable for your neighbors. We sweep up before we leave rather than leaving gravel in the gutter for the next rain to carry off.

Send a photo and we will tell you straight — repair, seal coat or repave. Free written estimate either way.
We work all of Woodland Heights and the streets around it. That is roughly the area between Chestnut Expressway to the south, Kearney Street to the north, Glenstone Avenue to the east and Grant Avenue to the west, including Division Street, Robberson Avenue, Benton Avenue, Sherman Avenue and the numbered cross streets between them.
We are also up and down the Commercial Street historic district, over toward Doling Park, and across into the Grant Beach and Midtown neighborhoods next door.
If your street has more shade than sun and the driveways are narrow, we have worked on it.
If a root lifted your slab, paving straight over it just repeats the problem. We deal with the root path and the base first, or we tell you honestly that the tree and the driveway cannot both stay as they are.
Our trucks need room, and so do your neighbors. We plan where equipment sits before the day, especially on the tighter blocks where cars park both sides.
Some drives here sit on almost nothing. We check before quoting so you are not surprised by a repave recommendation.
Older properties often slope the wrong way. Fixing the grade costs a little more and saves a basement.
Hot mix runs spring through fall in Missouri, and sealer needs warm dry weather to cure. Fall is the best time for crack filling, before winter gets into the gaps. Street projects in the area are posted by City of Springfield Public Works, which is worth a look if your block is scheduled for work.
Every estimate is free and written down before we start. If sealing and crack filling will buy you another five years, that is what I will tell you, even though a full replacement pays better. Neighbors talk on these streets, and I would rather be the guy they recommend.
