Main routes: Route 104 and Route 111
Elm Street through town is Route 104, running about 19 miles northwest to Jacksonville and about 11 miles east to Auburn. Route 111 starts at Route 104 on the west side and heads south toward Palmyra. Waverly is Morgan County's second-largest city, founded in 1836 and named after Sir Walter Scott's Waverley novels.
Driveways and parking lots are most of what we build here, with farm lanes and private roads around the edges. Everything goes on a graded, compacted rock base with hot-mix asphalt placed in lifts and rolled. Where traffic is light, chip seal or recycled millings can do the job for less.

A drive in town carries cars and pickups; a drive at the edge carries a tractor or a loaded trailer too, and it needs more base under it. We take out cracked asphalt or rutted gravel, fix soft spots, and place hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for a home drive. Widening for a second vehicle fits into the same job.
Driveway pavingChurch lots, shop pads and business lots here handle steady local traffic, and they fill up in December when the Waverly Holiday Tournament brings crowds into town. We build base rock for the heaviest vehicle expected, lay out entrances and turning room, then pave and compact. Grading keeps water off the surface year round.
Parking lot pavingFarm lanes off Route 104 and private roads running back to bins and shops take loaded trucks through wet ground. We grade, compact rock in layers and crown the surface so runoff reaches the ditch. Hot mix covers the heaviest use, and chip seal or millings suit the longer, lighter stretches.
Road constructionIn a town like Waverly, 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
Most of the city drains south to tributaries of Apple Creek, with the northeast corner running toward the South Fork of Lick Creek. Between those drainages the ground is flat and gives up water slowly. Clay-heavy soils hold it and freeze-thaw winters lift what sits on it, so we cut out soft soil and compact rock in layers.
Before you sign anything, get the base depth and the compacted asphalt thickness on paper. Two bids that look far apart are often just two different pavements.
Typical ranges. Your Waverly estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Yes. Route 104 runs northwest to Jacksonville and east to Auburn, and Route 111 runs south to Palmyra, and we pave along all of those. Driveways, lots, farm lanes and private roads are all part of it. Estimates are free and you get 25% off.
Most residential drives are removed, rebuilt and paved within a day or two, depending on size and how much base work is needed. You will park on the street during that time and for a short while after, while the asphalt cools and sets up.
Typically a compacted crushed-stone base several inches deep on firm soil, with soft spots dug out first, and that holds for any Waverly driveway. On clay soils that hold water, a thicker base and good slope matter even more. The estimate states the base depth so there are no surprises.
Only if the grade changes. Paving over a low spot in Waverly leaves the same low spot in a smoother surface. We measure the fall first and tell you what it takes to move the water.
We pave all around Waverly, across Morgan County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
