Main routes: Route 4
Virden sits about two and a half miles one way and Auburn about the same the other, with Route 4 running through the middle. Thayer is a Sangamon County village inside the Springfield metro area, and the paving reflects that mix: home driveways, church and shop lots, farm lanes and the occasional private road.
The village counted more than 1,200 residents in 1920 and about 630 in 2020, so there is plenty of older pavement and older base in town. We take out what has failed, correct the drainage that caused it, and place hot-mix asphalt on a compacted rock base. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.
Older village lots often have narrow drives that no longer fit the vehicles using them. Widening for a second car or adding a parking pad goes quickly while the crew is already set up. We remove cracked asphalt or rutted gravel, rebuild the base where it has gone soft, and place hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for a home drive.
Driveway pavingChurches, shops and small business lots in Thayer take fewer vehicles than a city lot, but heavier ones, since delivery trucks and farm equipment use the same pavement. We build the base for that load, plan entrances and turning room, and grade so water leaves the surface. A sound lot can take an overlay instead.
Parking lot pavingFarm lanes off Route 4 and private access roads to shops and bins need a compacted base, a crown that moves water to the ditch and edges that do not break under a loaded axle. We build these in hot mix where traffic is heavy, or in chip seal and recycled millings on lighter runs.
Road constructionFarm yards, equipment pads, church lots and long country drives around Thayer 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
Central Illinois farm ground sits nearly flat here, around 640 feet above sea level, and it drains slowly. Clay-heavy soils hold water, and freeze-thaw winters lift pavement resting on a saturated base. We cut out weak soil, compact rock in layers and grade so the surface sheds rain to a planned place.
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 Thayer estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Yes. Virden and Auburn are both under 3 miles from the village and Divernon about 6, and we pave across that area and south toward St. Louis. Driveways, lots, farm lanes and private roads are all part of it. Estimates are free and you get 25% off.
No. Fresh asphalt needs months to cure before sealcoat goes on, usually a full season. Sealing too early traps oils that need to escape and can leave the surface soft. Once it has cured, sealing on a regular cycle helps it hold up.
Most Thayer 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 Thayer 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 Thayer, across Sangamon County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
