Main routes: Route 51
The village takes its name from the Tamaroa, an Illiniwek people, and sits in Perry County along Route 51. Paving here is mostly private work: driveways at the house, lots at the church or the shop, and lanes running back into the fields. Every one of them gets a graded, compacted rock base with hot-mix asphalt placed and rolled in lifts.
Kids from the grade school go on to Pinckneyville Community High School about 6 miles away, which tells you how traffic moves through this part of the county. On the paving side, the ground is flat with some rolling hills and it does not shed water quickly, so we set grade before anything else. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.
Out here a driveway carries the car, the pickup and often a trailer or a piece of equipment, so it needs real base under it. We take out failed asphalt or rutted gravel, rebuild soft spots, and place hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for a home drive. Where the drive meets the road, the apron gets built to take turning wheels.
Driveway pavingChurch lots, shop pads, farm yards and small business lots are the commercial paving in Tamaroa. We plan the entrance and the turning path, size base rock for the heaviest vehicle expected, then pave and compact. Grading comes first though, because a lot that holds water fails from underneath no matter how good the surface looks.
Parking lot pavingField lanes and private roads take grain trucks in the wettest weeks of the year. We grade, compact the base in layers and crown the surface so runoff leaves to the ditch. Hot mix goes where the traffic is heaviest, and chip seal or recycled millings cover longer stretches that see lighter use.
Road constructionOut around Tamaroa, general asphalt work often means shop pads, machine-shed aprons, turnarounds for trucks and trailers, and the stretch of lane where gravel keeps washing out. We build those with drainage and heavy tires in mind.
Asphalt paving
Ground here is mainly flat with some rolling hills, and flat ground gives water up slowly. Clay-heavy soils common across the region hold moisture near the surface, then freeze-thaw winters push it back up through the pavement. We dig out soft soil, compact rock in layers and shape the surface so rain runs off it.
When you compare bids, ask each contractor for three numbers in writing: the compacted asphalt thickness, the base depth, and what happens to the water. Those three decide how long the surface lasts.
Typical ranges. Your Tamaroa estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Yes. Pinckneyville is about 6 miles away and Du Quoin about 9, and we pave through Perry County and north toward St. Louis. Driveways, lots, farm lanes and private roads are all part of the work. Estimates are free and you get 25% off.
With a properly built base and water kept moving off it, a residential drive commonly gives many years of service. Sealing cracks as they appear and keeping heavy loads off the edges extends it. A drive built on a soft base fails much sooner, whatever the surface looks like.
Sometimes. If the base under your Tamaroa pavement is still solid and the surface only has shallow cracking, an overlay can work well. If the pavement is sinking, rutting or breaking into alligator cracks, the base has failed and it needs to be rebuilt first. The free estimate is where we sort that out.
Both cost less than hot mix and both work well on long drives around Tamaroa. Chip seal gives a tough, textured surface; compacted millings bind tighter than gravel and cut the dust. We will walk the lane and tell you honestly where each one makes sense.
We pave all around Tamaroa, across Perry County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
