Northeast of Carlinville, the small village of Standard City lies across two townships, Nilwood and Shaws Point. We pave driveways and parking areas here, along with farm lanes and private roads, using hot-mix asphalt over a compacted rock base.
In a village this size, most paving is practical work: a long drive that ruts every spring, a church lot, a pad by the machine shed, a lane out to the fields. We plan each job around drainage and load, fix the base where it is soft, then pave to a smooth, dense finish that sheds water. Estimates are free, and you get 25% off. Call (866) 490-7680 to set one up.
Gravel works until spring thaw turns it soft, trucks cut ruts and summer brings dust. We start with the base, cutting out soft spots and compacting rock, then place hot-mix asphalt, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups. Heavier trucks and trailers need more at the turns and the apron. Recycled asphalt millings can cover a back stretch that sees little traffic.
Driveway pavingFor a church, community building, shop or farm business in Standard City, the lot is often small but carries heavy vehicles. We size the base for the heaviest load, grade so water drains off, and pave in lifts for density. A sound lot with surface cracks may only need repair and seal coating instead of new asphalt.
Parking lot pavingFarm lanes, field access roads and private drives shared by a few households are all road construction work for us. We grade and crown the route, compact a rock base, and pave in asphalt or chip seal to match the traffic. Where a lane meets a county road, the entrance gets extra base so turning trucks do not break the edge.
Road constructionFarm yards, equipment pads, church lots and long country drives around Standard City 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
Freeze-thaw winters do most of the damage to rural pavement in this region. Water gets under the surface, freezes and lifts it, and the clay-heavy soils common around St. Louis hold that water longer. We fix the ground first: remove soft material, compact rock in layers and slope the surface so rain leaves it quickly.
A cheap bid usually gets cheap somewhere you cannot see. Ask what depth of stone goes down, how thick the asphalt is after rolling, and who fixes it if water still stands.
Typical ranges. Your Standard City estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

It can. Recycled asphalt millings compact into a firm, lower-dust surface and work well on back sections, farm yards and lanes with light traffic. For the main drive near the house, hot-mix asphalt gives a smoother, tighter finish. We can use both on one property and price them in your free estimate.
Nothing special. It helps to know where water collects after rain, which vehicles use the drive, and if you want to widen it or add a pad. We measure, check the base and give you options. The estimate is free, and the work comes with 25% off.
Most Standard City 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 Standard City 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.
We pave all around Standard City, across Macoupin County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
