Blacktop that holds up in Carrollton

The 1891 courthouse with its clock tower and mansard roof still anchors the square, and the commercial blocks around it form the historic district. A square like that gives a town plenty of angled parking, tight entrances and short drives, all of which wear at the edges first. Driveways and parking lots are the bulk of what we pave here.

Route 67 comes through as 5th Street and Route 108 as Main Street, crossing at the northeast corner of the courthouse block. Route 67 leads north toward Jacksonville and south toward Alton. Every job gets the same build: soft material out, rock compacted in layers, grade set to move water, hot-mix asphalt placed and rolled. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.

Driveway paving in Carrollton

Older homes near the square often have narrow drives running back to a garage or a shed, and many were built when the ground drained differently than it does now. We check the base before pricing a surface. Soft material comes out, rock goes in and gets compacted, then hot-mix asphalt, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups. Aprons at the street get extra rock underneath.

Parking lot paving in Carrollton

Storefronts around the courthouse square, church lots, and businesses out along 5th Street and Main Street all take turning delivery traffic. We size the base for it, set the grade to a planned outlet and build the entrance heaviest. Lots with a sound base can often take an overlay, then seal coating once the new asphalt has cured for months.

Parking lot paving

Road construction & private roads

Private drives, farm lanes and access roads outside the city take grain trucks in season and weather year round. We crown them over compacted rock so water leaves the wheel paths, thicken the base where loaded trucks turn, and pave in asphalt or chip seal depending on how hard the lane actually works.

General asphalt paving & repair

Around Carrollton 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.

Why the base matters in Carrollton

Water decides how long pavement lasts here. Clay-heavy soils common across the region hold it long after a storm, and freeze-thaw winters push it back up through the surface as cracks and heaves. We grade every drive and lot so runoff leaves fast, dig out soft subgrade and compact clean rock in layers underneath.

The part of the job you can see is the last two inches. Ask what is underneath, how it will be compacted, and which way the finished surface drains.

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 Carrollton estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Carrollton paving questions

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

Do you pave angled parking around the square?

Yes. Angled stalls put a lot of turning onto a small area, so the base has to be right and the entrance built for it. We handle the grade, the asphalt and the striping layout, and we can stage the work so the businesses stay reachable through it.

How far west along Route 108 do you work?

Route 108 runs west from Carrollton about eleven miles to Kampsville on the Illinois River, and we work the whole stretch, including Eldred. East toward Carlinville is covered too, along with the rest of Greene County. Estimates are free and you get 25% off.

Should I sealcoat my new driveway right away?

No. Fresh asphalt in Carrollton needs time to cure before it is sealed, typically several months and often up to a year. Sealing too early can trap oils in the pavement. After that, sealing every few years helps it resist water, sun and salt.

Do you do smaller repairs, or only full driveways?

Both. Patching a failed section, filling cracks before winter and rebuilding an apron are regular work in Carrollton. We will tell you honestly when patching is throwing good money after bad.
