Main routes: Route 100 and Route 16
Everything coming into Hardin from the east crosses the Joe Page Bridge, a lift bridge dedicated in 1931 and the southernmost on the Illinois River. That traffic lands in a county seat with a courthouse, businesses and the parking to go with them. We pave driveways and parking lots here, plus the private lanes and access drives around them.
Route 16 ends at the bridge and Route 100 crosses it and runs north up the west bank. None of that changes the fundamentals of a good driveway. We remove soft material, compact an aggregate base in layers, set a grade that moves water off, then place hot mix and roll it to a dense finish. Free estimates and 25% off. Call (866) 490-7680.
The county seat sits on the rolling high ground of the peninsula, so many drives here work against a slope. A sloped drive sheds water quickly, which is good, unless the water is running down the length of it and undercutting the edges. We set a cross slope, build a compacted base and support the shoulders, then place hot mix over it.
Driveway pavingBusiness lots near the courthouse, church lots and shop yards make up most of the commercial work, and all of them take delivery trucks. We build the base for that weight, grade so water leaves at a low corner rather than standing near a door, and set entrances to handle the turn without breaking down an edge.
Parking lot pavingPrivate roads and farm lanes on the peninsula climb and fall more than flat-country lanes do. That puts the work into drainage: a crown, ditches or swales that stay open, and a compacted base that does not soften. Chip seal fits a long lane with light traffic, and asphalt fits the ones trucks use.
Road constructionIn a town like Hardin, general asphalt work covers a lot of ground: shop and church lots, alley aprons, repairs along a curb line, overlays on older streets and pads for equipment. The approach stays the same: fix the base, lay the hot mix, roll it tight, finish the edges.
Asphalt paving
Calhoun County ground is high and rolling between the two rivers, with slopes that move water fast and low ground that holds it. Both cause the same failure once winter arrives and what is in the base freezes. We grade for runoff, compact in layers and keep water from ever sitting under the surface.
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.

Yes, if the water is handled. On a slope we set the cross slope so runoff leaves the side early instead of gathering speed down the length, then build the base and support the edges. A drain or swale across the top often does more than extra asphalt.
Yes. Hardin, Hamburg, Kampsville, Batchtown and Brussels are all in our area, along with Jersey County across the river and greater St. Louis on both sides. Estimates are free and you get 25% off.
No. Fresh asphalt in Hardin needs time to cure before it is sealed, typically several months and often up to a year. Sealing too early can trap oils in the pavement. After that, sealing every few years helps it resist water, sun and salt.
Only if the grade changes. Paving over a low spot in Hardin leaves the same low spot in a smoother surface. We measure the fall first and tell you what it takes to move the water.
We pave all around Hardin, across Calhoun County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
