Driveways, parking lots and farm lanes paved in Kane, between Jerseyville and Carrollton.
Free estimates25% off
Between Jerseyville and Carrollton, with Route 67 a mile or two west, this village takes its traffic on local roads rather than a highway through the middle. Most of what we pave is residential: driveways off the village streets and longer drives on the farms around them. Church and small business lots come next, and they carry heavier loads than people expect.
A drive fails from the bottom up, so we start there. Soft ground comes out, rock goes in and is compacted in layers, and the grade is set so water leaves the surface. Then hot mix, placed and rolled while hot. Lanes and private roads are part of the work. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate that comes with 25% off.
Nine miles from Carrollton and six from Jerseyville, most trips start in the driveway, and that surface takes a car, a work truck and sometimes a trailer. We build for the heaviest of those. Soft material out, rock compacted, hot mix down at a typical 2 to 3 inches compacted for light vehicles, more where a truck turns or parks in the same spot every day.
Driveway pavingA village lot has to handle Sunday morning volume or a weekday delivery truck without breaking down at the entrance. We build the entrance and the truck lane heavier, grade the surface to shed water, and stripe once the mix has set. Sound older asphalt is usually better served by patching and seal coating than by a full tear-out.
Parking lot pavingFarm lanes and shared private roads around Kane Township carry grain trucks in fall and little else the rest of the year. That seasonal load is what the base has to be built for. We crown the surface, compact the rock and keep the entrance at the county road heavy, since that is where tires turn under load.
Road constructionA lot of rural pavement near Kane fails at the edges, where water gets under the asphalt and tires break the shoulder down. Overlays, edge rebuilds and better drainage are often the fix. When the base is gone, we rebuild it before we pave.
Asphalt paving
Upland farm ground here holds water in the silt and clay soils common across the region, and water in a base freezes and lifts what is above it. We grade every surface to move runoff off and away, compact in layers rather than one thick lift, and keep edges supported so frost cannot break them off.
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 Kane estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Yes, and the entrance is the part that matters most. Where a drive meets a county road, the base goes deeper and the grade is set so gravel and water do not wash onto the pavement. That gets covered in the free estimate before any work starts.
Sometimes. If the gravel is clean, well drained and compacted, it can serve as part of the base after grading and adding rock. If it is full of mud or holds water, that material comes out first. We can tell you which after looking at it.
Most Kane driveways are paved in one to two days once the base is ready, with more time if the old surface has to come out or the base needs rebuilding. You can usually walk on it the same day and drive on it after a few days, depending on the weather.
As much as the budget allows. Long lanes around Kane are often done in stages, starting at the road or at the worst stretch. We build each stage so the next one ties in cleanly rather than leaving a lip where the work stopped.
We pave all around Kane, across Greene County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
