Main routes: Route 14 and Route 184
The preacher John Mulkey founded the Christian church here in 1818, and the community took his name. It sits in west-central Franklin County, three miles west of Christopher, where Route 184 runs up from Route 149 and ends at Route 14. The old grade school, closed in 1987, now houses the West Franklin Historical District and Genealogical Society.
Paving here means driveways, church and community lots, farm lanes and private roads. Every one gets the same foundation work: grade so water leaves, remove soft soil, compact rock 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.
Most drives in this area run off a county road or a state route and carry more than cars: trailers, farm trucks, sometimes equipment. That is what the base has to be built for, not the family sedan. We strip soft ground, compact rock in layers, place hot mix and roll the edges tight so they do not break away. Two to three inches compacted handles light vehicles, with more where weight sits or turns.
Driveway pavingChurch lots, community building parking and farm yards are the commercial work here. We size the base for the heaviest regular vehicle, plan the entrance so trucks are not riding the edge on the way in, and slope the surface toward a low point with somewhere to drain. Asphalt goes down in lifts and gets rolled before it cools.
Parking lot pavingField lanes, private roads, machine shed approaches and access drives get graded, crowned and built over a compacted rock base. Franklin County uplands roll enough that heavy rain can wash sediment onto local roads, so we shape ditches and shoulders along with the surface. Chip seal is worth asking about on a light-traffic lane.
Road constructionOut around Mulkeytown, 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
Big Muddy River basin ground includes broad, nearly level bottoms with soils formed in floodplain silts and old slackwater clays, much of it naturally poorly drained. Pavement over ground like that has to be built on a base that stays dry. We remove soft material, compact rock in layers and set a grade that moves runoff off the surface.
Bids are only comparable when they spell out the same things: base depth, compacted thickness, how edges are finished, and where water is meant to go. Ask for those before you pick a number.

Yes. A shared private road gets graded, crowned and built over a compacted rock base sized to the heaviest traffic on it, usually delivery and farm trucks. We can price the whole length or phase it, and lay out how water leaves the road so the shoulders hold up.

Both cost less than hot mix and both work well on long drives around Mulkeytown. 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.
