Main routes: Route 111
Northwestern Jr-Sr High School is in Palmyra, and Route 111 runs through the village as Main Street. We pave driveways and parking lots in and around town, from a single-car drive on a side street to a church lot, a shop yard or a machine shed apron out in the country.
Solomon Creek runs along the west edge of the village, and water is the main thing we plan around. Every job gets a graded, compacted rock base, a slope that moves runoff off the surface, and hot-mix asphalt rolled tight at the edges. Farm lanes and private roads get the same care.

An in-town driveway and a quarter-mile farm lane need different plans. For a short drive, we focus on the apron, the slope toward the street and a clean edge. For a long one, we can pave it all or start where wear is worst. Home driveways typically get 2 to 3 inches of compacted asphalt over a compacted rock base, with more where trucks turn.
Driveway pavingChurches, shops, a school, a grain or equipment yard: most lots in a village this size are modest, but they carry heavy vehicles now and then. We build the base for the heaviest load, lay out drainage so puddles do not form, and pave in lifts for density. For a lot that is cracked but still solid, seal coating or an overlay can extend its life.
Parking lot pavingWe build and repave farm lanes, field access roads and shared private drives with a crowned, compacted base and asphalt or chip seal to match the traffic. Where a lane meets Route 111 or a county road, we build the entrance heavier, since turning trucks break pavement edges first. Good ditches alongside keep water out of the base.
Road constructionOut around Palmyra, 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
Solomon Creek, part of the Macoupin Creek watershed, flows south along the village's western edge. Water that cannot drain off pavement soaks into the clay-heavy soils common in this region, then freezes and lifts the surface in winter. We grade for runoff, compact rock in layers and support the edges so they hold.
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 Palmyra estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Not right away. New asphalt needs time to cure, typically several months, before sealcoat goes on. Sealing too early can trap oils and leave the surface soft. After that, seal coating every few years helps protect it from sun, water and winter salt.
Yes. The villages that formed the Northwestern school district, Palmyra, Scottville, Modesto and Hettick, are all in our service area, along with greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Estimates are free, and you get 25% off.
Typically a compacted crushed-stone base several inches deep on firm soil, with soft spots dug out first, and that holds for any Palmyra driveway. On clay soils that hold water, a thicker base and good slope matter even more. The estimate states the base depth so there are no surprises.
Not usually. If the subgrade under a Palmyra lane is soft, stone alone just sinks into it. The fix is digging out the soft spots and rebuilding in compacted layers so the base has something to sit on.
We pave all around Palmyra, across Macoupin County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
