Main routes: Route 3 and Route 111
The Corps of Discovery wintered at Camp River Dubois here in 1803 and 1804, and the Confluence Tower now looks out over the same meeting of the Mississippi and Missouri. Modern Hartford is a working river village between Granite City and Wood River, and the paving reflects that: driveways on the village streets, parking lots and truck yards, and the access drives that serve them.
This is American Bottom ground, river-laid clay, silt, sand and gravel behind levees. It carries asphalt fine if the base is built for it and the drainage is right. We remove what will not hold, compact aggregate in layers, set the grade and roll hot mix to a dense finish. Free estimates, 25% off, (866) 490-7680.
Village drives here are short, close together and often bordered by a walk or a neighbor's concrete. Clean edges and a proper joint at the street matter as much as the surface itself. Under it we want a compacted rock base and a cross slope that gets water to the side, then hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups.
Driveway pavingBetween Route 3 and Route 111 there is industrial and commercial property that runs trucks all day, plus church, school and small business lots on the village streets. Truck lots need a thicker base and a grade that clears water fast. We set the entrance and the drive aisle to take that weight without rutting.
Parking lot pavingAccess roads into a yard, private drives shared by a few properties and lanes along the levees all get a compacted base, a crown and supported edges. Where trucks make the same turn every day we build that spot heavier, because that is where a surface goes first.
Road constructionIn a town like Hartford, 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
The Cahokia Creek Diversion Channel runs through the southern part of the village, a reminder that all of this ground is managed water. Bottom soil holds moisture, and moisture under asphalt freezes and lifts in winter. We build the grade to drain, compact the base in layers and keep the edges supported.
A cheap bid usually gets cheap somewhere you cannot see. Ask what depth of stone goes down, how thick the asphalt is after rolling, and who fixes it if water still stands.
Typical ranges. Your Hartford estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Cars can usually be on it within a day or two, but loaded trucks should stay off for several weeks while the asphalt hardens. In hot weather that takes longer. We tell you what to keep off it, and for how long, before we leave the site.
Yes. Hartford sits right among them, and we cover Wood River, Roxana, South Roxana, East Alton and the rest of Madison County, plus greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Estimates are free and you get 25% off.
On a Hartford 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.
Only if the grade changes. Paving over a low spot in Hartford 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 Hartford, across Madison County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
