Swiss settlers from Sursee founded this place in 1831 and called it New Switzerland. Today Highland is a city of about ten thousand with a square at the center, subdivisions around it and I-70 across the north end. Driveways and parking lots are the bulk of the work here, followed by subdivision streets, private drives and lake-area access roads.
A city this size has pavement of every age, and the older it is the more the base matters. We check what is under a failing surface before recommending anything. New work gets soft material removed, an aggregate base compacted in layers, a grade set to drain, then hot mix placed and rolled dense. Free estimates and 25% off. Call (866) 490-7680.
Drives here run from narrow ones on the old streets near the square to wide two-car aprons in newer additions. Older drives often sit on a base worth saving, which can mean an overlay instead of a rebuild. Where the base has failed, an overlay just cracks in the same places. We check first, then build: compacted rock, correct grade, hot mix rolled tight.
Driveway pavingLots along Route 143, Route 160 and the I-70 exits see delivery trucks daily. Church, school and medical lots fill and empty in waves. We size the base to the heaviest vehicle rather than the average one, grade the surface to a low point away from entrances, and lay out stalls and aisles so traffic moves without crossing itself.
Parking lot pavingSubdivision streets, private roads and the drives around Highland Silver Lake need a base built for the loaded trucks that use them a few times a year, not just the cars that use them daily. A crown, supported shoulders and open drainage keep the wheel paths from softening. Farm lanes outside the city get the same approach.
Road constructionAround Highland we see plenty of pavement that has been patched over and over. Sometimes one more patch is the right call. Sometimes a mill-and-overlay or a rebuild saves money over the next ten years. We will lay out both options so you can choose.
Asphalt paving
Highland Silver Lake sits on the East Fork of Silver Creek, and the city limits stretch about five miles north to take the whole lake in. The ground between is farm soil that holds water, and a Midwest winter freezes what it holds. We grade to drain and compact the base in layers, because frost lifts wet ground, not dry rock.
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 Highland estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

It depends on the base. If the cracking is shallow and the lot is not rutting or holding water, an overlay over a prepared surface is the cheaper route. Where potholes keep returning in the same spots, the base has failed and an overlay will crack again.
Yes. Highland is within a few miles of Grantfork, Marine, Pierron and St. Jacob, and all of them are in our area along with the rest of Madison County and greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Estimates are free.
It helps, because you know where water sits on the Highland 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.
Yes, and we phase it so the lot stays usable. Most small Highland lots are done in sections, with the entrance kept open where possible, so a business or a Sunday service is not shut out while the asphalt cures.
We pave all around Highland, across Madison County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
