Main routes: Route 111 and Route 267
Out on the western edge of Macoupin County, where Jersey County begins, a driveway often has to handle more than a car. Pickups, trailers and farm equipment all roll across it. We pave driveways and parking areas in Medora built for that kind of use: a compacted rock base, hot-mix asphalt and edges that hold.
Routes 111 and 267 run together along the east side of the village and south about 9 miles to Brighton, so getting equipment in is straightforward. Tell us what needs paving, and we will measure, explain the base and thickness we recommend, and give you a clear estimate. Estimates are free, and you get 25% off. Call (866) 490-7680.
Rural driveways here are often long gravel runs that rut in spring and throw dust all summer. We can pave the whole length or start with the stretch near the house and the apron at the road. The base is the key: we fix soft spots, compact rock, then place hot-mix asphalt, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups, and more where heavier trucks turn. Recycled asphalt millings are an option for back sections.
Driveway pavingParking lots in a village of a few hundred people are usually small: a church lot, a shop, a community building, or a gravel yard where equipment parks. We pave and repave those with a base sized to the heaviest vehicle that uses it, and we lay out drainage so water does not sit in the lot. Seal coating can follow once new asphalt has cured for several months.
Parking lot pavingFarm lanes, field access roads and shared private drives see heavy axles and very little maintenance. We grade them, build up the rock base and pave them in asphalt, or chip seal them where that suits the traffic better. Where a lane meets Route 111 or Route 267, we build a solid apron so turning trucks do not break the edge.
Road constructionFarm yards, equipment pads, church lots and long country drives around Medora each carry different loads. We size the base and the asphalt to the traffic that will actually use it, then compact every layer so it stays put.
Asphalt paving
Medora drains northwest toward a tributary of Macoupin Creek, and water that cannot get off a driveway ends up under it. Clay-heavy soils common around St. Louis hold that water, then freeze-thaw winters push the base up and crack the surface. We grade for runoff first, compact the base well, and keep the edges supported so they do not crumble.
When you compare bids, ask each contractor for three numbers in writing: the compacted asphalt thickness, the base depth, and what happens to the water. Those three decide how long the surface lasts.
Typical ranges. Your Medora estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

For a lot of owners, yes. Asphalt ends the ruts, washouts and dust, and it plows cleaner in winter. If the full length is more than you want to take on at once, we can pave the section near the house first and extend it later. The estimate is free, so you can compare options.
Yes. Medora sits on the western edge of Macoupin County with Jersey County along its western boundary, and we serve both, including Fidelity, Brighton, Shipman and Jerseyville. Estimates are free, and you get 25% off. Call (866) 490-7680 to set one up.
No. Fresh asphalt in Medora needs time to cure before it is sealed, typically several months and often up to a year. Sealing too early can trap oils in the pavement. After that, sealing every few years helps it resist water, sun and salt.
It can, but it has to be built for that load. On Medora properties, heavy equipment needs a deeper base and a thicker mat than a car driveway. Tell us what actually drives on it, including grain trucks and trailers, and the estimate is sized to that.
We pave all around Medora, across Macoupin County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
