Main routes: Route 15 and Route 4
They call this village the Gateway to the Kaskaskia, and the state fish and wildlife area along the river runs from here all the way down to the Mississippi. River ground holds moisture, and moisture is what shortens the life of a driveway or a parking lot. So drainage is the first decision we make on any job in the village.
Route 4 and Route 15 meet here, with Route 15 heading west as Main Avenue toward Belleville, so a small place carries real through traffic. Entrances off a state route take the hardest wear, and we build them heavier because of it. Soft material out, rock compacted in layers, grade set, hot mix rolled dense.

A drive that ties into Route 4 or Main Avenue gets its worst wear in the first stretch, where vehicles turn off the pavement at an angle. We build that apron with extra base and extra depth, then carry a steady section back to the house. Topsoil comes off, soft ground comes out, and rock is compacted in lifts. Residential asphalt typically runs 2 to 3 inches compacted over that base.
Driveway pavingA church lot, a shop pad, a small business lot at the highway junction: each gets a base sized for the heaviest thing that uses it and an entrance built stronger than the parking area. We grade the surface one clear direction so water leaves instead of collecting in a corner. Sound older asphalt can often be patched and seal coated rather than torn out.
Parking lot pavingFarm lanes, private drives and access roads toward the river bottom are much of the longer work here. We crown the lane so water sheds, cut shoulders so it keeps moving, and build a heavier section where the lane meets a state route and loaded trucks turn. Long, lightly used lanes are often a good fit for chip seal.
Road constructionOut around Fayetteville, 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
Ground near the Kaskaskia carries more moisture than ground a few miles up on the upland, and southern Illinois winters run through freeze and thaw repeatedly. Wet base plus a hard freeze is how a surface lifts and cracks. We proof the subgrade, remove what will not hold, compact rock in lifts, and set slope so runoff clears fast.
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 Fayetteville estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

It changes how much attention drainage gets. Bottom ground stays damp longer, so the base has to drain and the surface has to shed water quickly. We proof the subgrade, dig out soft spots and build the rock base deeper where it is needed rather than using one section everywhere.
Yes. We work in Fayetteville and nearby towns like St. Libory, New Athens, Freeburg and Mascoutah, along with the rest of St. Clair County and greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Estimates are free and you get 25% off.
Hot-mix asphalt needs warm air and warm ground to compact properly, and the plants serving Fayetteville 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 Fayetteville 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 Fayetteville, across St. Clair County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
