Hot-mix asphalt, laid right in Jerseyville

The 1893 courthouse at the center of town was built from limestone quarried near Grafton, and the square around it still holds the commercial district. South and southwest of it is where Jerseyville has grown since the early 1990s, with new subdivisions and shopping. Both sides need paving: driveways on the old streets and in the new additions, parking lots for retail, church and institutional property.

US 67 runs north to south through the city and Route 16 crosses it east to west, which puts real truck traffic on commercial lots here. Truck weight is a base question. We dig out what will not hold, compact aggregate in layers, grade to a low point and roll hot mix dense. Free estimates and 25% off. Call (866) 490-7680.

Driveway paving in Jerseyville

An older drive near the square is narrow, close to the walk and often sitting on a base that was never rebuilt. A newer subdivision drive is wider with a two-car apron. We look at the base before recommending an overlay or a rebuild, then build what the ground supports: compacted rock, a cross slope that clears water, hot mix rolled tight.

Parking lot paving in Jerseyville

Retail and medical lots on the south and southwest sides take delivery trucks daily, and church and institutional lots load in waves. We size the base for the heaviest wheel load rather than the average, grade so water leaves at a low corner instead of standing at a door, and lay out stalls and aisles that keep traffic flowing one direction.

Road construction & private roads

Subdivision streets, private roads and access drives to a yard or a research site all take truck traffic at some point. We build a compacted base under them, crown the surface and support the shoulders where wheels track wide. Farm lanes east of the city get the same build, scaled to what runs on them.

General asphalt paving & repair

General paving in Jerseyville can be as simple as a new apron where the drive meets the street or as big as an overlay across a business lot. Either way the estimate spells out the base work, the asphalt thickness and what the finished surface should look like.

Why the base matters in Jerseyville

The upland here is deep windblown silt over rock, running thicker toward the river bluffs to the west. Silt holds water, and water under pavement freezes and lifts it. We grade for runoff before anything else, remove soft material and compact the base in layers so frost has less to act on.

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.

Compacted asphaltTypically 2 to 3 in. for a car drive
Stone baseTypically 4 to 8 in., compacted
Drive on itUsually 2 to 3 days, longer in heat
First sealcoatTypically 6 to 12 months after paving

Typical ranges. Your Jerseyville estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Jerseyville paving questions

Straight answers for Jerseyville homeowners and property managers. Anything else, call (866) 490-7680.

Can a parking lot be paved in phases so we stay open?

Yes. We split the lot into sections, pave one while the rest stays in use, then move over once the new asphalt is ready for traffic. Heavy trucks need to stay off longer than cars do. We set that schedule with you before work starts.

Do you cover Grafton, Kane and Otterville?

Yes. Jerseyville is the county seat and we work the whole county from here, including Grafton, Kane, Otterville, Fieldon and Medora, plus greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Estimates are free and you get 25% off.

Do you pave in Jerseyville in the winter?

Hot-mix asphalt needs warm air and warm ground to compact properly, and the plants serving Jerseyville typically run from spring into late fall. Winter is a good time to get your estimate and book a spot for the season.

What about the apron where my drive meets the street?

In Jerseyville that is the piece that takes the most abuse, so it gets extra attention: a firm base, a tie-in that sits flush with the road, and a shape that moves water to the ditch or gutter instead of back toward the drive.
