Main routes: Route 127 and Route 185
Route 185 starts in Taylor Springs, at Route 127 on the east side of the village, and heads about 26 miles southeast to Vandalia. We pave driveways and parking lots along both routes and on the village's residential streets, plus the private roads and lanes outside town.
Hillsboro borders the village on the north and east, and Greenville is about 18 miles south on Route 127. Land here drains west toward the Middle Fork of Shoal Creek, so grading is part of every plan we write. We start with the ground, build a compacted rock base, then place hot mix shaped to shed water. We give free estimates with 25% off the work. Call (866) 490-7680 to set one up.
Before any asphalt goes down on a Taylor Springs driveway, we check where water goes. Then we dig out soft soil, compact base rock in layers and pave with hot mix, usually 2 to 3 inches compacted for a home. Drives that meet Route 127 or Route 185 get a wider, stronger apron for turning traffic.
Driveway pavingBusinesses along Route 127 and Route 185, plus churches and shops in the village, need lots that handle daily traffic and trucks. We build a thicker section than a driveway, set slopes so water leaves the surface, and lay out parking and turning space. Where the base is still sound, an overlay can restore a worn lot for less than a rebuild.
Parking lot pavingPrivate roads, subdivision streets and lanes around Taylor Springs need a compacted base, a crown, and ditches or culverts to carry water. We build for the traffic expected, from cars to farm trucks. On long lanes with light use, chip seal or recycled millings can be a practical, lower-cost surface.
Road constructionAround Taylor Springs we see plenty of pavement that has been patched over and over. Sometimes one more patch is the right call. Sometimes a mill-and-overlay or a rebuild saves money over the next ten years. We will lay out both options so you can choose.
Asphalt paving
Taylor Springs drains west toward the Middle Fork of Shoal Creek. Slow-draining soils are common in central Illinois, and winter freeze and thaw turn trapped water into heaves and cracks under a weak base. We dig to firm ground, build up compacted rock, and grade so rain leaves the surface quickly.
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 Taylor Springs estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

A business entrance takes turning trucks and cars all day, so it needs a deeper compacted base and thicker asphalt than a home drive, plus enough width and radius for vehicles to turn without running off the edge. We look at your traffic and layout during a free estimate, with 25% off.
Cracks in a web pattern, sunken areas, potholes that return and edges breaking off usually mean the base has failed, and replacement is the lasting fix. Scattered surface cracks on a firm drive can often be handled with crack filling or an overlay. We tell you which during your free estimate.
On a Taylor Springs job the price comes down to size, how much base work is needed, the asphalt thickness, whether old pavement has to come out, drainage fixes and how easily trucks can reach the work. Your written estimate lists each of those so you can compare it with other bids line by line.
Both. Patching a failed section, filling cracks before winter and rebuilding an apron are regular work in Taylor Springs. We will tell you honestly when patching is throwing good money after bad.
We pave all around Taylor Springs, across Montgomery County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
