Driveway and parking lot paving around Rentchler, on the farm ground east of Belleville, with free estimates.
Free estimates25% off
Forty-five people were counted here at the 2020 census, which puts this census place among the smallest in St. Clair County. Almost everything around it is farm ground and scattered houses, so driveways and parking areas are the work: house drives, turnarounds, shed pads and yard parking.
Mascoutah, Freeburg and Shiloh all sit within about five miles, and Belleville is a short run west, so the roads through here carry more traffic than the population suggests. Home drives get soft soil removed, a compacted rock base and hot-mix asphalt, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.
Drives out here run from a county road back to the house, often long enough to need a turnaround and a spot for a second vehicle. We shape the subgrade so water leaves both sides, compact aggregate in layers, then place hot mix at typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and light trucks. Where a trailer or tractor crosses, the base goes deeper.
Driveway pavingThis is not a storefront area, so lot work means farm yards, equipment parking, shop pads and church lots nearby. We build the base for the heaviest vehicle that will sit on it, slope the surface toward a planned low point, and place asphalt in lifts. Gravel yards can be paved once the rock beneath them is rebuilt and compacted.
Parking lot pavingField access roads, private lanes and shared drives take tractors, wagons and grain trucks in season. We grade and crown them, compact a rock base deep enough for those axles, then surface in asphalt or chip seal depending on traffic. The first stretch at the county road entrance gets extra base for turning loads.
Road constructionFarm yards, equipment pads, church lots and long country drives around Rentchler each carry different loads. We size the base and the asphalt to the traffic that will actually use it, then compact every layer so it stays put.
Asphalt paving
Upland ground east of the Mississippi bluffs is capped with deep windblown loess silt, which holds water and heaves when it freezes. Pavement over silt lives or dies on drainage. We take out soft material, compact base rock in layers, and set the grade so runoff leaves instead of soaking under an edge.
Bids are only comparable when they spell out the same things: base depth, compacted thickness, how edges are finished, and where water is meant to go. Ask for those before you pick a number.
Typical ranges. Your Rentchler estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Yes. Rural drives and farm yards are regular work, and ground out here needs the same base and drainage care as anything in Belleville. The estimate is free, the price includes 25% off, and we tell you up front what the subgrade will need.
Yes. Widening means excavating the new strip to the same depth as the original, compacting base rock in layers, and paving so the joint is tight and sealed. Done that way the new section carries weight instead of breaking away from the old edge.
It helps, because you know where water sits on the Rentchler property and how the drive gets used. If you cannot be there, tell us what you want done when you call and we will work out the best way to walk the site and go over the details with you.
They matter more than the asphalt. A Rentchler lane that holds water at the culvert will fail there first, so we look at ditches, the culvert and the crown before quoting the surface.
