Main routes: Route 16
State Street carries Route 16 through Nokomis, past the Bottomley-Ruffing-Schalk Baseball Museum, which honors three Hall of Famers with ties to the area. Along it and on the residential streets around it, we pave driveways and parking lots, then the farm lanes and private roads out in the county.
The city borders Wenonah on the north and Coalton to the southwest, and the 2020 census counted all of it as rural. That mix of small-town streets and nearby farm ground calls for a firm base and good drainage on every job, and we walk each site before we price it. Hillsboro is about 16 miles southwest and Pana about 13 miles northeast. Every estimate is free, and you get 25% off. Call (866) 490-7680 to set one up.
If your driveway in Nokomis has potholes that come back every spring, water is getting into the base. We fix that by digging out soft ground, compacting new base rock in layers and paving with hot mix, usually 2 to 3 inches compacted for a home. We shape the surface so water runs off, and we support the edges so they do not crumble.
Driveway pavingBusinesses along State Street, plus churches, schools and shops in town, need lots that handle daily traffic and delivery trucks. We build a thicker section than a driveway, set slopes for drainage and lay out parking and drive lanes. If a lot's base is still sound, milling and overlaying the surface can extend its life for less than a full rebuild.
Parking lot pavingOut from Nokomis, farm lanes and private roads connect homes and fields to Route 16 and the county roads. We build them with a compacted base, a crown, firm shoulders and culverts where ditches cross, with a deeper base where grain trucks will run. On long lanes with light traffic, chip seal is a lower-cost option worth pricing.
Road constructionAround Nokomis we see plenty of pavement that has been patched over and over. Sometimes one more patch is the right call. Sometimes a mill-and-overlay or a rebuild saves money over the next ten years. We will lay out both options so you can choose.
Asphalt paving
Nokomis sits at the headwaters of the East Fork of Shoal Creek, where water is just starting its run downstream. Flat ground can drain slowly, and slow-draining soils hold water under pavement. We check drainage on every site, dig to firm ground, and grade so rain leaves the surface before winter freeze-thaw can crack it.
Before you sign anything, get the base depth and the compacted asphalt thickness on paper. Two bids that look far apart are often just two different pavements.
Typical ranges. Your Nokomis estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Patches fail when the base under them is soft or wet. Each winter, water in the base freezes, expands and pushes the asphalt apart. A lasting repair means cutting out the failed area, rebuilding the base with compacted rock and repaving. We show you where the base has failed during a free estimate.
New asphalt usually needs several months to a year to cure before sealcoat goes on. After that, sealcoating every few years helps slow wear from sun, water and winter salt. It works best on a lot with a sound base, so we check for failed areas first. Estimates are free, with 25% off.
Hot-mix asphalt needs warm air and warm ground to compact properly, and the plants serving Nokomis typically run from spring into late fall. Winter is a good time to get your estimate and book a spot for the season.
Both. Patching a failed section, filling cracks before winter and rebuilding an apron are regular work in Nokomis. We will tell you honestly when patching is throwing good money after bad.
We pave all around Nokomis, across Montgomery County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
