Main routes: Route 106
Laid out in 1870 by Alsey R. Smith, this Scott County village was first called Smithfield. It is a small place with a lot of ground around it, so driveways and parking lots here look different than they do in town: longer runs, wider turns, and equipment that weighs more than a car.
Route 106 carries traffic through the village from Winchester south toward White Hall. We pave drives, lots, shop pads and lanes on a compacted rock base, with the grade set to move water off the surface. Old gravel can often be reshaped and used as part of that base. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.
Farm-country drives take pickups, trailers and the occasional heavy truck, and they are usually long enough that drainage changes from one end to the other. We walk the whole run, cut out the soft ground, compact rock in layers and set a crown or a slope that matches the fall you already have. Typical residential asphalt is 2 to 3 inches compacted, with more where trucks turn or park.
Driveway pavingChurch lots, a small shop lot on Route 106, a machine shed pad behind the house: the work is the same in kind and different in size. We build the base for the heaviest thing that will sit on it, keep the entrance strong where tires turn off the road, and grade the surface so water finds an edge instead of a low corner.
Parking lot pavingWe build and rebuild private lanes, field roads and the shared drives that a few neighbors use. A crowned surface over compacted rock keeps water out of the wheel paths. Chip seal suits a long lane with light traffic and costs less per foot; asphalt suits a lane that sees trucks week in and week out.
Road constructionOut around Alsey, general asphalt work often means shop pads, machine-shed aprons, turnarounds for trucks and trailers, and the stretch of lane where gravel keeps washing out. We build those with drainage and heavy tires in mind.
Asphalt paving
Freeze-thaw cycles are the hard part of a west-central Illinois winter. Water gets into a weak base, freezes, lifts the surface and leaves cracks behind. The fix is on the way in, not after: strip the topsoil, compact rock in lifts and grade so water runs off before it has the chance to sit.
When you compare bids, ask each contractor for three numbers in writing: the compacted asphalt thickness, the base depth, and what happens to the water. Those three decide how long the surface lasts.
Typical ranges. Your Alsey estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Yes. On a long drive we can build the base for the full run and pave it in sections across more than one season, or pave the heavy-use end first. We lay out the phases at the free estimate so each stage drains on its own and ties in cleanly later.
Often, yes. Chip seal works well on long private lanes with light traffic and costs less per foot than hot-mix asphalt. It still needs a sound, compacted base underneath. For a lane that sees regular truck weight, asphalt holds up better over time.
Hot-mix asphalt needs warm air and warm ground to compact properly, and the plants serving Alsey typically run from spring into late fall. Winter is a good time to get your estimate and book a spot for the season.
Not usually. If the subgrade under a Alsey lane is soft, stone alone just sinks into it. The fix is digging out the soft spots and rebuilding in compacted layers so the base has something to sit on.
We pave all around Alsey, across Scott County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
