Driveways and lots across Bunker Hill

A bronze Lincoln was dedicated in the middle of North Washington Street at Fayette on September 7, 1904, which tells you how long this town has been routing traffic around its own landmarks. Route 159 runs north and south through it. We pave the driveways and lots on either side, plus the private lanes out past the edge of town.

The town sits on high ground that drains east to Paddock Creek and west to Indian Creek, both running south to Cahokia Creek. High ground helps pavement as long as the runoff has somewhere to go. We set the grade first, compact a rock base in layers, then place hot-mix asphalt and roll it tight. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.

Driveway paving in Bunker Hill

Sloped lots are common on this high ground, and a drive running downhill toward a garage will send every storm to the same door. We shape the surface so water crosses and leaves at the edge, build up the base where the grade steepens, and place hot-mix asphalt, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups, thicker where a work truck or camper parks.

Parking lot paving in Bunker Hill

Downtown lots near Washington and Warren, church parking, and shop yards along Route 159 each get an entrance built for the turning traffic they actually see. Base sized to the heaviest truck, grade set to a planned outlet, asphalt placed in lifts and compacted. A sound older lot may need only crack repair and seal coating.

Parking lot paving

Road construction & private roads

The Bunker Hill Blacktop runs west to Brighton and east to Staunton, and plenty of private lanes and farm drives tie into roads like it. We build those entrances with extra rock where tires turn, crown the running surface, and match asphalt thickness to whether the lane sees cars or loaded trucks.

General asphalt paving & repair

Around Bunker Hill we see plenty of pavement that has been patched over and over. Sometimes one more patch is the right call. Sometimes a mill-and-overlay or a rebuild saves money over the next ten years. We will lay out both options so you can choose.

Ground, water and winter in Bunker Hill

Draining in two directions helps, but water still finds the low spot in any driveway or lot. Clay-heavy soils common across the region hold it, and freeze-thaw winters push it back up through the pavement. We cut out soft subgrade, compact clean rock in layers, and set a grade that clears the surface before frost can work on it.

A cheap bid usually gets cheap somewhere you cannot see. Ask what depth of stone goes down, how thick the asphalt is after rolling, and who fixes it if water still stands.

Compacted asphaltTypically 2 to 3 in. for a car drive
Stone baseTypically 4 to 8 in., compacted
Drive on itUsually 2 to 3 days, longer in heat
First sealcoatTypically 6 to 12 months after paving

Typical ranges. Your Bunker Hill estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Bunker Hill paving questions

Straight answers for Bunker Hill homeowners and property managers. Anything else, call (866) 490-7680.

How long does a driveway take from start to finish?

Most home driveways are a one to two day job once the weather cooperates: tear out and base work on the first day, paving and rolling on the second. Bigger lots and long lanes take longer. Fresh asphalt then needs time to cure before heavy loads.

Do you cover the towns along the Bunker Hill Blacktop?

Yes. That road runs west to Brighton and east to Staunton, and we work in both along with Dorchester, Wilsonville, Royal Lakes and the rest of Macoupin County. Greater St. Louis on both sides of the river is covered too. Estimates are free and you get 25% off.

Do I need to be home for the estimate?

It helps, because you know where water sits on the Bunker Hill property and how the drive gets used. If you cannot be there, tell us what you want done when you call and we will work out the best way to walk the site and go over the details with you.

Can you pave a church or small business lot in Bunker Hill?

Yes, and we phase it so the lot stays usable. Most small Bunker Hill lots are done in sections, with the entrance kept open where possible, so a business or a Sunday service is not shut out while the asphalt cures.
