Main routes: Route 111
The land here was subdivided into building lots in the 1920s and dozens of houses went up within a few years, many for workers at the nearby refinery. Lots that age mean narrow drives, tight side yards and aprons that have been patched more than once. Driveways and parking lots are our main work in the village.
Route 111 runs along the western edge, about two miles north to Wood River and south toward Pontoon Beach, and Route 255 passes just east with two exits. The village itself incorporated in 1967. A drive gets soft ground removed, a compacted rock base and hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.
A 1920s lot leaves little room, so a drive here is often narrow, close to the property line and steep at the apron. We dig out soft ground, compact rock base in layers, and place hot mix at typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and light trucks. Where a drive is too tight to use, widening with proper base beats laying a strip of asphalt on dirt.
Driveway pavingChurch lots, small business parking and apartment lots take car traffic plus weekly trash and delivery trucks. Those decide base thickness. We build for them, slope the surface to planned drainage points, and place asphalt in lifts. Where the base underneath still holds, patching and an overlay restore a lot for less money.
Parking lot pavingVillage streets, alleys and shared private drives wear out in the wheel paths and at the entrances. Where the base is sound, milling and an overlay works. Where it has failed, we dig out and rebuild that stretch. Access drives to businesses along Route 111 get extra base where trucks turn in.
Road constructionIn a town like South Roxana, general asphalt work covers a lot of ground: shop and church lots, alley aprons, repairs along a curb line, overlays on older streets and pads for equipment. The approach stays the same: fix the base, lay the hot mix, roll it tight, finish the edges.
Asphalt paving
Ground on this side of Madison County runs from loess-capped upland down to river bottom, where deep river-laid clay, silt, sand and gravel sit behind the levee system. Either one holds water against pavement. We proof the subgrade, replace what will not compact, build the base in lifts, and grade so runoff has a planned exit.
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.

Yes. Widening means excavating the new strip to full depth, compacting base rock in layers and paving so the joint is tight, not just adding a strip alongside the old slab. Lot lines and setbacks are worth checking with the village first.
Yes. Roxana borders this village to the north and east and Hartford lies west, and we cover that whole stretch along Route 111 plus greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Estimates are free with 25% off.
It helps, because you know where water sits on the South Roxana 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.
Work inside your South Roxana property line usually does not need one, but a new entrance onto a city street, a county road or a state route often does. The rules differ by road, so check with the city or county first; the owner normally pulls that permit.
