Main routes: Route 143
This village comes in two pieces about four miles apart: Pierron Station on the Bond and Madison county line, and Millersburg to the east, tied together by Route 143. Driveways and parking lots are our main work in both halves, along with the farm lanes in between.
The place was established in 1871 and named for its founder, Jacques Pierron. Highland sits about five miles southwest, so plenty of local drives carry daily commuting traffic. For a house we compact a rock base and place hot-mix asphalt, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups. Lots that take trucks get a deeper base under them.

A drive here may be a short village approach near the CSX line or a long farm lane out between the two ends of town. We grade so water sheds, compact aggregate in layers, then place hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and light trucks. Where trailers and work trucks turn, the base goes deeper and the edges get compacted hard so they hold.
Driveway pavingChurch parking, a shop pad, a small business lot or a farm yard covers most of what gets paved around here. We size the base for the heaviest vehicle using it, pitch the surface to a planned low point, and place asphalt in lifts. Where the existing base is sound, an overlay can bring a tired lot back for less money.
Parking lot pavingFarm lanes and private roads between the two sections carry equipment, grain trucks and everyday traffic. We grade and crown them, compact a rock base deep enough for loaded axles, then surface with asphalt or chip seal to match the use. Approaches onto Route 143 get extra base, since turning trucks break edges first.
Road constructionA lot of rural pavement near Pierron fails at the edges, where water gets under the asphalt and tires break the shoulder down. Overlays, edge rebuilds and better drainage are often the fix. When the base is gone, we rebuild it before we pave.
Asphalt paving
The west end of the village drains toward Sugar Creek and the east end toward Shoal Creek, both headed for the Kaskaskia River. Ground near creek bottoms stays soft longer after rain, and clay soils common here move with moisture and freeze-thaw. We remove soft material, compact in lifts, and grade water off the surface.
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 Pierron estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

The village straddles the line, so it depends on where your property sits. We ask about the road authority and any approach permit before we schedule, then build the entrance to match what that authority expects for width and grade.
Most Pierron driveways are paved in one to two days once the base is ready, with more time if the old surface has to come out or the base needs rebuilding. You can usually walk on it the same day and drive on it after a few days, depending on the weather.
As much as the budget allows. Long lanes around Pierron are often done in stages, starting at the road or at the worst stretch. We build each stage so the next one ties in cleanly rather than leaving a lip where the work stopped.
We pave all around Pierron, across Bond County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
