Where the Metro East urban area runs out and Madison County farm ground begins, Moro sits right on that line, with Bethalto just to the southwest. It stayed unincorporated and kept its farming roots, so a drive here might serve a subdivision house or a place with a barn and a machine shed behind it.
We pave both, along with the lots at churches, shops and small businesses. The sequence does not change: grade so water leaves, strip out soft soil, compact a rock base in layers, then place and roll hot-mix asphalt. A residential drive typically finishes at 2 to 3 inches compacted. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.
A drive on the edge of the urban area often does double duty: family cars on one end of the week and a trailer or a loaded truck on the other. We build for the heavier use rather than the lighter one. Soft soil comes out, rock goes in and gets compacted in layers, then hot mix is placed and rolled while hot. Two to three inches compacted is standard for cars and pickups, with more where weight sits.
Driveway pavingChurch lots, shop pads, small business parking and farm yards around here all get sized to their real traffic. We plan the entrance and the turning path, build the base for the heaviest regular vehicle, and slope the surface so water leaves at a chosen point instead of standing in the middle. Asphalt goes down in lifts and gets rolled.
Parking lot pavingPrivate roads, field lanes, machine shed approaches and short subdivision streets get graded, crowned and built over compacted rock. On flat ground, the crown does most of the drainage work, so we shape it carefully and build up shoulders so the edges have support. Chip seal is worth considering on a lightly used lane.
Road constructionOut around Moro, general asphalt work often means shop pads, machine-shed aprons, turnarounds for trucks and trailers, and the stretch of lane where gravel keeps washing out. We build those with drainage and heavy tires in mind.
Asphalt paving
The uplands east of the bluffs in Madison County lie under thick windblown loess silt, with the clay-heavy subsoils common around St. Louis below. Both hold water. A base that stays wet moves, and freeze-thaw winters crack whatever sits on it. We grade to move runoff, dig out soft material and compact rock in layers before any asphalt arrives.
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.

Sometimes the existing rock can be reworked and compacted as part of the base, which saves hauling. It depends on the depth, the type of rock and whether the ground under it is firm. We check that before quoting rather than assume the gravel is usable.
We pave in Moro, Bethalto, Wood River, East Alton, Rosewood Heights, Alton and the rest of Madison County, plus greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Estimates are free and you get 25% off on driveways, lots and lanes.
Sometimes. If the base under your Moro 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.
Both cost less than hot mix and both work well on long drives around Moro. Chip seal gives a tough, textured surface; compacted millings bind tighter than gravel and cut the dust. We will walk the lane and tell you honestly where each one makes sense.
