Main routes: Route 267
Settlers came to this part of Greene County in the 1830s for the soil, and farming still sets the pace. The driveways and parking lots we build here belong to farm homes, in-town houses, churches and small businesses. When a drive starts rutting in the same two tracks every spring, the surface is not the problem. The base is.
Route 267 runs through the city, 13 miles south to Medora and about 27 miles north to Jacksonville, so plenty of local traffic passes through. We grade for drainage, compact a rock base and lay hot mix in lifts, rolled while it is hot. Farm lanes and private roads are part of the job too.

Around here a single drive may serve a car, a work truck and a trailer, so we size the base to the heaviest thing on it. Soft spots come out, rock goes in and gets compacted, then hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for light vehicles. The apron where the drive meets the street gets built up, because that is where load and water both concentrate.
Driveway pavingA church lot, a shop off Main Street or a school pad all need the same two things done right: a base that carries the traffic and a grade that sheds water toward an outlet. We lay out parking so traffic flows without tight turns on the weakest ground. If the asphalt is sound, repairs and seal coating cost less than replacing it.
Parking lot pavingField lanes, grain-bin approaches and private roads shared by a few farms make up a good share of road work in eastern Greene County. A crowned surface over a compacted base keeps water out of the wheel tracks. Chip seal fits lightly traveled lanes and full asphalt fits anything a loaded truck uses in wet weather.
Road constructionGeneral paving in Greenfield can be as simple as a new apron where the drive meets the street or as big as an overlay across a business lot. Either way the estimate spells out the base work, the asphalt thickness and what the finished surface should look like.
Asphalt paving
Deep farm soils hold water, and water in the base is what freeze-thaw cycles turn into cracks and heaves. We build the grade so runoff has a path off the surface before winter, compact the rock in layers instead of one deep lift, and keep edges supported so they do not break away.
Bids are only comparable when they spell out the same things: base depth, compacted thickness, how edges are finished, and where water is meant to go. Ask for those before you pick a number.
Typical ranges. Your Greenfield estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Usually yes. Doing both at once means one setup and one trip, which keeps the cost down. We will walk both with you, check the base and the drainage on each, and quote them together or separately, whichever suits you.
Light vehicles can usually be on it within a day or two, depending on weather. Heavy trucks should stay off longer while the mix hardens. In hot weather, avoid parking in one spot with the wheel turned or setting trailer jacks down without a plate.
Most Greenfield driveways are paved in one to two days once the base is ready, with more time if the old surface has to come out or the base needs rebuilding. You can usually walk on it the same day and drive on it after a few days, depending on the weather.
Most Greenfield estimates happen within a few days of your call, and jobs are usually scheduled a couple of weeks out depending on weather and the season. Booking early in the year gets the better dates.
