Main routes: Route 111
Route 111 comes through Modesto as Main Street, 3 miles north of Palmyra and 8 miles south of Waverly. If your place sits on a gravel drive off the highway or a county road, we can pave it. We handle driveways and small parking areas with hot-mix asphalt over a compacted rock base, sized for the vehicles that actually use them.
The plan starts with water. We set grades so rain drains off, compact the base in layers, and roll the asphalt tight at the edges so it does not crumble. Farm lanes, shop pads and private roads get the same approach. Call (866) 490-7680 or send a request for a free estimate, and you get 25% off the work.
A rural driveway in North Palmyra Township often has to handle a pickup, a grain truck now and then, and a snowplow. We build the base for that: dig out soft spots, lay and compact rock, then place hot-mix asphalt, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for a home drive and thicker where heavy trucks turn. Recycled asphalt millings can work for a back section that sees less traffic.
Driveway pavingLot work around a small village tends to be practical: a church lot, a shop yard, a machine shed apron, or a spot where equipment parks near the road. We pave those with a base matched to the heaviest load and a slope that keeps water from standing. For an older lot that is cracked but still solid, an overlay or seal coating can extend its life.
Parking lot pavingWe build and repave farm lanes, field access roads and private drives that serve more than one property. Each gets a graded, compacted base and a crown so rain runs off to the sides. Where traffic is light, chip seal paving is an option. Where the lane meets Route 111, we build the entrance heavier, because that is where trucks turn and edges fail first.
Road constructionA lot of rural pavement near Modesto 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
Modesto drains east toward Nassa Creek, part of the Macoupin Creek watershed. Clay-heavy soils are common in the region, and they hold water under pavement. Freeze-thaw winters then lift and crack anything without a good base and drainage. We grade water off the surface, compact rock in layers and support the edges so they do not break down.
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.
Typical ranges. Your Modesto estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

It depends on what drives on it. Cars and pickups typically need 2 to 3 inches of compacted asphalt over a solid rock base. Grain trucks and loaded trailers call for a thicker base and more asphalt, especially at turns and the road apron. We size it during the free estimate.
Yes. The apron at the highway is where turning trucks do the most damage, so we build it with extra base and a well-supported edge. We also make sure water from the road shoulder does not run straight onto your drive. We check the connection during your free estimate.
Sometimes. If the base under your Modesto pavement is still solid and the surface only has shallow cracking, an overlay can work well. If the pavement is sinking, rutting or breaking into alligator cracks, the base has failed and it needs to be rebuilt first. The free estimate is where we sort that out.
As much as the budget allows. Long lanes around Modesto 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 Modesto, across Macoupin County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
