Main routes: Route 3 and Route 155
Sisters of the Adorers of the Blood of Christ came from Italy and established a house here in 1875, and the village has stayed small and steady since. Driveways are most of what we build, along with the parking at churches, institutional properties and farm buildings. Those lots carry trucks and buses, which is more weight than a thin surface handles.
Route 155 begins in the village at Route 3 and runs west through Prairie du Rocher toward Fort de Chartres. Wherever the property sits, we grade for drainage, compact a rock base in layers and finish with hot mix rolled dense. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate with 25% off.
Village drives here are short, tie into Main Street or a side street, and have to move water in a hurry. We set the grade, compact a rock base and place hot mix at a typical 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups. Country drives off Route 3 run longer and carry heavier vehicles, so the base goes deeper and the apron gets built up.
Driveway pavingChurch and institutional parking, small shop pads and farm yards make up most of the commercial work here. Those surfaces see buses, delivery trucks and equipment, so we put depth in the base and grade to a clear outlet. An entrance at Route 3 or Route 155 is built heavier, because that is where loaded tires turn.
Parking lot pavingOff the state routes, the roads we build are private: shared lanes, farm entrances and access drives to sheds and grain setups. Crown the surface, compact the base, keep the ditch line open, and the lane survives a wet spring. Chip seal handles light traffic and full asphalt handles regular truck use.
Road constructionFarm yards, equipment pads, church lots and long country drives around Ruma 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
Ground here runs to silt and clay, the sort that holds water near the surface, and a saturated base under a winter freeze is what heaves and cracks asphalt. No surface treatment fixes that after the fact. We grade for runoff and compact the rock in layers before anything gets paved.
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 Ruma estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Fresh asphalt needs time to cure and harden before heavy loads. Cars are usually fine within a day or two, but trucks should wait longer, and how long depends on the weather. We give you a clear window for your job before we leave the site.

They matter more than the asphalt. A Ruma 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.
