Main routes: Route 16 and Route 127
Hillsboro's city limits reach more than 6 miles north to take in Lake Glenn Shoals, so a driveway here might be a short drive near Courthouse Square or a long one out toward the lake. We pave both, along with parking lots for businesses, churches and offices across the Montgomery County seat. Routes 16 and 127 share a stretch through town, and Route 127 continues south as Vandalia Road.
The town was founded in 1823, and its Second Empire courthouse is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The ground is hilly and cut by the Shoal Creek watershed, which makes grading and drainage the first things we plan on any job here. We give free estimates with 25% off the work. Call (866) 490-7680 to set one up.
On sloped lots in Hillsboro, water tends to run straight down the wheel paths and wash out the edges. We grade the base to steer water off to the side, compact the rock in layers so it cannot shift, and pave with hot mix, usually 2 to 3 inches compacted for a home. Where a steep drive meets the street, we ease the transition so cars do not scrape.
Driveway pavingBusinesses on Main Street and School Street, and along Routes 16 and 127, need lots that handle steady cars and delivery trucks. We build a thicker section than a driveway, plan slopes and inlets so water leaves the surface, and lay out parking and drive lanes for clean traffic flow. Where the base is sound, resurfacing can save a full rebuild.
Parking lot pavingAround Hillsboro, private roads, subdivision streets and access drives out in the county need a base built for the traffic and the slope. We build compacted base, crowns and ditches or culverts that carry water away. Hillside roads get extra attention on drainage so runoff does not cut under the edges.
Road constructionAround Hillsboro 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
Hillsboro sits on hilly ground cut by the Shoal Creek watershed, and Lake Glenn Shoals was built in 1976 on the Middle Fork of Shoal Creek. On slopes, water moves fast and can wash out a weak base. On flat spots, it sits. We plan for both and build a compacted base that holds through winter freeze-thaw.
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 Hillsboro estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Yes. Steep drives need careful grading so water does not run down the wheel paths, a well-compacted base that will not shift, and a smooth transition at the street. We look at the slope, the soil and where runoff goes, then lay out the plan in a free estimate with 25% off.
Yes. We pave and resurface parking lots for businesses, churches and offices around downtown Hillsboro and along Routes 16 and 127. We check the base, drainage and traffic, then recommend a resurface or a rebuild. Estimates are free, and you can reach us at (866) 490-7680.
Hot-mix asphalt needs warm air and warm ground to compact properly, and the plants serving Hillsboro typically run from spring into late fall. Winter is a good time to get your estimate and book a spot for the season.
Only if the grade changes. Paving over a low spot in Hillsboro 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 Hillsboro, across Montgomery County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
