Main routes: Route 96
The Pike County Fair lands here every year, and so does the Bi-State Demolition Derby, which means this village handles more traffic on a few weekends than some towns see all summer. Regular life is quieter. Driveways off Quincy Street, lots at the schools and churches, and farm drives outside town are what we build and rebuild.
Route 96 runs through as Quincy Street on the Great River Road, north toward Atlas. Whatever the address, the method holds: drainage first, soft material out, rock compacted in layers, hot mix placed and rolled. Chip seal and recycled asphalt fit longer lanes.

A village drive here has a short run from street to garage, so the grade has to do its job in a small distance. We set that fall first, compact the rock base and lay hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups. Drives that hold a truck, a trailer or fair-week traffic get a deeper base and thicker asphalt where the weight sits.
Driveway pavingSchool lots, church parking and the pads at small businesses along Quincy Street all have peak days that show you where the weak spots are. We build entrances and bus or truck lanes heavier, grade the whole surface to an outlet and finish edges clean. Where the asphalt is still sound, patching and seal coating buy years.
Parking lot pavingBeyond the village, the work is farm lanes, field entrances and private roads that serve a handful of properties. Those last when they are crowned over a compacted base and the ditch line stays open. Chip seal handles light, seasonal use, and hot mix handles lanes that carry loaded trucks through the wet months.
Road constructionGeneral paving in Pleasant Hill can be as simple as a new apron where the drive meets the street or as big as an overlay across a business lot. Either way the estimate spells out the base work, the asphalt thickness and what the finished surface should look like.
Asphalt paving
Pike County ground rolls, so water moves quickly in some spots and stands in others. Standing water in a base plus a hard freeze is what lifts and cracks asphalt by spring. We compact rock in layers, set a grade with a real outlet and back up the edges where runoff leaves 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 Pleasant Hill estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Yes. Tell us the dates when you call and we will plan the work so a fresh surface is not sitting under fair or derby traffic. New asphalt needs time before heavy use, and we would rather schedule around that than repair damage later.
Residential drives commonly get 2 to 3 inches of compacted asphalt over a compacted aggregate base. Heavier vehicles need more of both. The right answer depends on what uses the drive and what the ground under it is like, which is what we check at the estimate.
No. Fresh asphalt in Pleasant Hill needs time to cure before it is sealed, typically several months and often up to a year. Sealing too early can trap oils in the pavement. After that, sealing every few years helps it resist water, sun and salt.
In Pleasant Hill that is the piece that takes the most abuse, so it gets extra attention: a firm base, a tie-in that sits flush with the road, and a shape that moves water to the ditch or gutter instead of back toward the drive.
