Main routes: I-55
Right off I-55 at Exit 72, Farmersville is a small Montgomery County village about 23 miles south of Springfield by the interstate. We pave driveways and parking lots here first: homes in the village, lots for churches and businesses, and the pads and aprons around farm buildings outside town. Each job starts with the ground under it, not the asphalt on top.
The 1930 alignment of Route 66 once ran north past Farmersville toward Springfield, and I-55 now runs along the village's east side. Whatever road you live near, the same things decide how long pavement lasts: a firm base, good drainage and hot mix compacted while it is still hot. The estimate is free, the work is 25% off, and the number is (866) 490-7680.
We start every Farmersville driveway by checking the ground under it. Soft spots get dug out, and new base rock is placed and compacted in layers before any asphalt goes down. A home driveway usually gets 2 to 3 inches of compacted hot mix. We finish the edges so they are supported and shape the apron so it meets the street cleanly, without a lip.
Driveway pavingLots near the I-55 interchange, church and community lots, and farm shop yards each carry different traffic. We size the base and asphalt thickness to the heaviest vehicles expected, lay out drive lanes and parking, and grade so water leaves the surface. Sealcoat can come later, after the new asphalt has cured for several months.
Parking lot pavingPrivate roads and farm lanes around Farmersville that carry grain trucks and equipment need a base built for them, not just for cars. We build a compacted base, a crown, firm shoulders and culverts where ditches cross. On long lanes with light traffic, chip seal gives a sealed surface at a lower cost than hot mix.
Road constructionFarm yards, equipment pads, church lots and long country drives around Farmersville 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.
Asphalt paving
Macoupin Creek crosses the southeast corner of Farmersville, and properties near it or on low, flat ground can stay wet after heavy rain. We check where water goes before we pave, build on firm compacted base, and grade every surface to shed water before winter freeze-thaw can crack it.
Before you sign anything, get the base depth and the compacted asphalt thickness on paper. Two bids that look far apart are often just two different pavements.
Typical ranges. Your Farmersville estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Yes. A lot near Exit 72 that takes trucks needs a deeper base and thicker asphalt than a home driveway, plus wide turning areas. We look at the traffic, layout and drainage on site, then give you a free estimate with 25% off the work.
Sometimes. Asphalt can go over concrete that is stable and not heaving, but the joints and cracks in the concrete tend to show through over time. If slabs are broken or sinking, removing them and building a proper base is the better fix. We check the slabs during your free estimate.
On a Farmersville job the price comes down to size, how much base work is needed, the asphalt thickness, whether old pavement has to come out, drainage fixes and how easily trucks can reach the work. Your written estimate lists each of those so you can compare it with other bids line by line.
It can, but it has to be built for that load. On Farmersville properties, heavy equipment needs a deeper base and a thicker mat than a car driveway. Tell us what actually drives on it, including grain trucks and trailers, and the estimate is sized to that.
We pave all around Farmersville, across Montgomery County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
