Laid out around 1835 and incorporated in 1885, Scottville is a tiny village in northwestern Macoupin County. Out here, paving usually means a long driveway, a parking area by the church or shop, or a farm lane, and we handle all of them with a compacted rock base and hot-mix asphalt.
The headwaters of Rock Branch flow through the village toward Apple Creek, so drainage is part of every plan we make. We set the slope so water leaves the surface and does not sit along the edges, then roll the asphalt to a dense, smooth finish. Estimates are free, and you get 25% off.

A long gravel driveway on a farm property takes constant work: ruts in spring, dust in summer, washboard after every hard rain. Paving ends most of that. We fix soft spots, compact new rock where needed, and place hot-mix asphalt, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups and thicker where heavy trucks turn. Recycled asphalt millings are an option for less-used sections.
Driveway pavingIn a village of about 95 people, lot work usually means a church lot, a shop pad, a machine shed apron or a farm yard where trucks load. We build the base for the heaviest load, slope it for drainage and pave in lifts. For a yard that only needs a firm, low-dust surface, chip seal is another option.
Parking lot pavingWe build and repave farm lanes, field access roads and private drives, including lanes shared by neighbors. The work starts with grading and a crowned, compacted base so rain runs off to the sides. Asphalt suits lanes with steady truck traffic, and chip seal fits lighter use. Entrances off the county road get extra base, since that is where edges usually fail first.
Road constructionFarm yards, equipment pads, church lots and long country drives around Scottville 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
The headwaters of Rock Branch flow through Scottville toward Apple Creek, a tributary of the Illinois River. Ground that stays wet under pavement is the problem, especially with the clay-heavy soils common in the region and hard freeze-thaw winters. We grade so runoff leaves the surface quickly, compact the base in layers and support the edges.
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 Scottville estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Asphalt gives a smoother, tighter surface and handles steady truck traffic well. Chip seal, a layer of liquid asphalt topped with stone, is a good fit for longer lanes with lighter traffic. Both need a solid, crowned base. We walk the lane with you during the free estimate and recommend one.

Most Scottville 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.
They matter more than the asphalt. A Scottville 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.
