Your Cutler paving crew

Perry County ground around here is mostly flat with some roll to it, which is the easy case for drainage and the easy case to get wrong. Flat stretches need fall built in. Rolling stretches need water steered. Driveways and parking lots in this village get both looked at before we set a single grade stake or haul the first load of rock.

Route 150 runs through Cutler, linking the Chester Bridge over the Mississippi with Route 154 west of Pinckneyville, so trucks pass through on their way between the river and the county. Local drives and lots feel that traffic at their entrances. We build a compacted base, grade for water and roll hot-mix asphalt dense. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.

Driveway paving in Cutler

A country drive here can run a hundred feet or several hundred, and the ground under it changes along the way. We walk the full length, mark the soft areas and the spots that hold water, and build to what we find. Topsoil off, rock compacted in lifts, and hot-mix asphalt placed at a typical 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups, deeper where a truck or a trailer sits.

Parking lot paving in Cutler

Church lots, a small business lot on Route 150, a shop or equipment pad behind the house: we build the base for the heaviest vehicle, strengthen the entrance where tires turn off the highway, and pitch the surface so water reaches an outlet. Lots that are still structurally sound often need nothing more than crack filling, patching and seal coating.

Parking lot paving

Road construction & private roads

Field lanes, private drives and shared access roads are most of the road work in this part of the county. We crown them so water sheds, cut shoulders so it keeps moving, and build a heavier section where the lane meets Route 150 and trucks turn in. Chip seal is a sensible fit for long lanes that see light traffic.

General asphalt paving & repair

Farm yards, equipment pads, church lots and long country drives around Cutler each carry different loads. We size the base and the asphalt to the traffic that will actually use it, then compact every layer so it stays put.

Built for Cutler's ground

Southern Illinois upland soil holds water, and this region cycles through freeze and thaw all winter. Moisture trapped in a weak base expands when it freezes and lifts the asphalt. We take the soft material out, compact rock in layers so the base drains, and set slope on every surface so runoff has a path off before the cold arrives.

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

Cutler paving questions

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

Can you resurface over my existing asphalt?

Sometimes. If the base is sound and the old surface is cracked but not broken up or shifting, an overlay can work well. If the failure goes into the base, an overlay just cracks along the same lines within a season or two. We check the condition first and tell you which applies.

Do you work in Cutler, Percy and Steeleville?

Yes. We pave in Cutler and the nearby towns, including Percy, Willisville, Steeleville and Campbell Hill, along with the rest of Perry County and greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Estimates are free and you get 25% off.

Can you pave over my old asphalt?

Sometimes. If the base under your Cutler pavement is still solid and the surface only has shallow cracking, an overlay can work well. If the pavement is sinking, rutting or breaking into alligator cracks, the base has failed and it needs to be rebuilt first. The free estimate is where we sort that out.

What about the culvert and ditches along my lane?

They matter more than the asphalt. A Cutler lane that holds water at the culvert will fail there first, so we look at ditches, the culvert and the crown before quoting the surface.
