Five miles north-northeast of Winchester, this is farm country with houses spread along county roads. Driveways and parking areas make up nearly all the paving out here: the run from the road to the house, a turnaround, a pad by the shed, and yard parking at the barn.
The I-72 and US 36 freeway was pushed west past this area by 1979, and that is what moves through traffic across Scott County now. On a county road, though, the pavement that matters is your own. We take out soft soil, compact rock in layers, and place hot-mix asphalt, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate and 25% off.
A drive out here often runs several hundred feet, with a crown so water leaves both sides and a turnaround wide enough for a truck. We cut out soft topsoil, compact aggregate in layers, then place hot mix. Two to three inches compacted is typical for cars and pickups. Where a tractor or loaded trailer uses the drive, the base goes deeper.
Driveway pavingLot work here means farm yards, machine shed pads, equipment parking and church lots in the area. We size the base for the heaviest thing that parks on it, grade the surface so runoff has a clear exit, and place asphalt in lifts. A rutted gravel yard can be paved once the rock under it is rebuilt and compacted.
Parking lot pavingField roads and private lanes carry equipment through planting and harvest, and one soft spot in spring can strand a loaded truck. We grade, crown and compact a rock base sized for those axles, then surface in asphalt or chip seal depending on use. The entrance off the county road gets built heaviest.
Road constructionA lot of rural pavement near Riggston 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
Ground out this way is silt and clay heavy, the kind that holds water and shifts with every freeze and thaw. Drainage does most of the work in keeping pavement sound. We take out soft material, compact base rock in lifts, crown the surface, and set grades so water clears quickly instead of standing along 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.

It depends on use. A lane that ruts every spring and eats a load of rock every year often pays for itself in asphalt or chip seal. We look at the length, the traffic and the drainage, then give you honest numbers for both options.

Most Riggston 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 Riggston 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.
