Main routes: Route 104
Pavement does the same job in a village of a few thousand as it does in the city. It keeps vehicles out of the mud and moves water somewhere useful. Driveways and parking lots are our main work in Pawnee, along with private roads and the lanes that serve the farm ground around it.
Route 104 runs west from town toward I-55, which keeps traffic moving through. Coal mining shaped the place early on, and it sits in the Springfield metro area now. For a home drive we build a compacted rock base and place hot-mix asphalt, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted. A lot that takes trucks gets more. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate and 25% off.
A drive here is usually a straight village approach with a garage at the end, or a longer country run with a turnaround. We fix drainage first, then compact aggregate in layers and place hot mix over it, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and light trucks. Where a trailer or work truck parks all season, we thicken the pad so it does not rut in July heat.
Driveway pavingSchools, churches, small businesses and shop yards make up most of the lot work in town. Each gets a base sized for its heaviest vehicle, a surface sloped to a planned low point, and asphalt placed in lifts. Striping and any accessible spaces go down once the surface has cured enough to hold paint.
Parking lot pavingPrivate roads, subdivision streets and farm access lanes take a beating from equipment and delivery trucks. We grade and crown them, compact a deep rock base, then surface in asphalt or chip seal to match the traffic. Where a lane meets a county road, the first stretch gets extra base for turning loads.
Road constructionAround Pawnee 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
Central Illinois farm ground is mostly level, and level ground sheds water slowly. Clay-heavy soils under the topsoil hold moisture, and freeze-thaw cycles do the rest. We remove soft material, compact base rock in layers, and grade every surface so runoff leaves instead of soaking in along the edges.
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.
Typical ranges. Your Pawnee estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Yes. Older streets often sit higher or lower than the drives beside them, so we set the approach to meet the street edge cleanly and keep water from running toward the garage. That grade work is part of the job, not an add-on.
Late spring through early fall is best, because hot mix needs warm ground and air to compact properly. Work can run later in mild weather. If we think conditions will hurt the result, we say so and schedule it for the next good stretch.
On a Pawnee job the price comes down to size, how much base work is needed, the asphalt thickness, whether old pavement has to come out, drainage fixes and how easily trucks can reach the work. Your written estimate lists each of those so you can compare it with other bids line by line.
Both. Patching a failed section, filling cracks before winter and rebuilding an apron are regular work in Pawnee. We will tell you honestly when patching is throwing good money after bad.
We pave all around Pawnee, across Sangamon County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
