Paving Lenzburg from the base up

Route 13 carries most of the through traffic here, running from New Athens on one side of the village to Marissa on the other. With a few hundred residents in St. Clair County, the paving work is driveways at home and lots at churches, shops and farm buildings.

We build both the same way. Soft ground comes out, rock base goes in and gets compacted in layers, then hot-mix asphalt is placed and rolled while it is hot. A house drive typically gets 2 to 3 inches of compacted asphalt over that base. Where grain trucks and equipment cross, we build it thicker. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.

Driveway paving in Lenzburg

A drive in Lenzburg might be a short one off a village street or a gravel lane running back to a farmhouse. The base decides how long either one lasts. We cut out the soft spots, haul in rock, compact it in layers and then place hot mix. Two to three inches compacted is typical for cars and pickups, thicker where a tractor or a loaded truck crosses. Edges get rolled tight so they do not crumble into the grass.

Parking lot paving in Lenzburg

Church lots, shop pads, small business lots and farm yards need a different build than a house drive. We size the base to the heaviest thing that will park or turn on it, slope the surface so water leaves instead of standing, and lay asphalt in lifts. A worn lot with a solid base underneath may only need patching and an overlay.

Parking lot paving

Road construction & private roads

Farm lanes, field entrances and private drives off Route 13 get the same care as any pavement, just built for heavier and slower loads. We grade and crown the surface so it sheds water, compact a rock base under it, then finish with asphalt or chip seal depending on the traffic.

General asphalt paving & repair

A lot of rural pavement near Lenzburg 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.

Ground, water and winter in Lenzburg

Upland ground in this part of St. Clair County sits under deep windblown loess silt, and the clay-heavy soils common around St. Louis hold water rather than shed it. Water trapped under pavement is what tears it apart through freeze-thaw winters. We grade for runoff, dig out soft soil and compact base rock in layers.

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.

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 Lenzburg estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Lenzburg paving questions

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

Do you pave farm lanes outside the village?

Yes. A lane out to a barn or a field entrance needs a deeper compacted base than a car drive, because loaded grain trucks and tractors put weight in a small footprint. We look at the length, the crossings and where water runs, then price it in one pass or in phases.

Do you work in Marissa and New Athens too?

Yes. We pave in Lenzburg, Marissa, New Athens, Fayetteville and the rest of St. Clair County, along with greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Route 13 makes the run between these towns quick. Estimates are free and you get 25% off.

How long does a new asphalt driveway take in Lenzburg?

Most Lenzburg 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.

How much of a long lane can you pave at once?

As much as the budget allows. Long lanes around Lenzburg 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.
