Main routes: I-55, Route 140, and Route 157
From 1926 until 1965, Route 66 ran through Hamel, and the village still keeps landmarks from that era, including the blue neon cross at St. Paul Lutheran Church. Today I-55 and Route 140 meet here. We pave driveways and parking lots in the village and on the farm properties around it.
Route 140 runs through the center of town as State Street. For homes, we focus on a solid base and a surface that drains away from the garage. For a business lot near the interchange, we build for trucks and turning traffic. Every job gets hot-mix asphalt over compacted rock. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.
Around a farming village, a driveway may be a short in-town drive off State Street or a long lane out to a farmhouse. For either, we fix the base first, compact rock in layers, and place hot-mix asphalt, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups. Where trucks and trailers turn, we build thicker. A long drive can be paved in phases.
Driveway pavingFor a business, church or shop lot on State Street or near the I-55 interchange, we plan entrances and traffic flow for trucks as well as cars. The base is built for the heaviest load, the surface slopes to planned low points, and the asphalt goes down in lifts. Worn lots with a sound base may only need repair, an overlay or seal coating.
Parking lot pavingWe build and repave farm lanes, field access roads, private drives and small subdivision streets. Each one gets grading, a compacted rock base and a crown to shed water, then asphalt or chip seal matched to the traffic. Entrances off Route 140 or Route 157 get extra base, because turning trucks break edges first.
Road constructionOut around Hamel, 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
Tributaries of Silver Creek drain the village to the south, part of the Kaskaskia River watershed. Water that sits under pavement is what destroys it, especially with the clay-heavy soils common around St. Louis and freeze-thaw winters. We grade so runoff leaves the surface, remove soft soil and compact the rock base in layers.
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.
Typical ranges. Your Hamel estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Yes. Truck parking and turning areas need a deeper compacted base and thicker asphalt than a car lot, usually placed in more than one lift. We ask what vehicles use the area, how they turn and where water drains, then size the pavement to match during the free estimate.
Yes. We serve Hamel, Worden, Alhambra, Livingston, Edwardsville and the rest of Madison County, plus greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Route 157 gives a direct run south to Edwardsville. Estimates are free, and you get 25% off.
It helps, because you know where water sits on the Hamel property and how the drive gets used. If you cannot be there, tell us what you want done when you call and we will work out the best way to walk the site and go over the details with you.
Both cost less than hot mix and both work well on long drives around Hamel. Chip seal gives a tough, textured surface; compacted millings bind tighter than gravel and cut the dust. We will walk the lane and tell you honestly where each one makes sense.
We pave all around Hamel, across Madison County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
