About 28 residents, a shared border with Nokomis and the same 62075 ZIP code: this village in Nokomis Township is small, but its driveways take the same freeze and thaw as anyone's. We pave driveways and parking lots in and around Wenonah, along with the farm lanes and private roads outside the village.
Route 16 runs through neighboring Nokomis as State Street, leading southwest toward Hillsboro, the county seat, about 17 miles away, and northeast toward Pana. Each job here gets a compacted rock base, hot mix placed and rolled while hot, and grades that move water off. We walk the site with you before we price it. Every estimate is free, and you get 25% off. Call (866) 490-7680 to set one up.
A driveway in Wenonah might be a short run to a garage or a longer one to a shed or barn. Either way, we start underneath: grading, digging out soft spots, and compacting base rock in layers before paving with hot mix, usually 2 to 3 inches compacted for home use. We support the edges so they do not crumble and set the slope to shed water.
Driveway pavingChurch lots, shop pads and farm yards in and around Wenonah need a surface that stays firm in wet weather and handles heavy tires. We plan base depth to the heaviest vehicle expected, pave in lifts and grade so water runs off. Small lots get the same base work as large ones.
Parking lot pavingPrivate roads and farm lanes around Wenonah connect homes and fields to the county roads and to Route 16 through Nokomis. The recipe is a compacted base, a crowned surface, solid shoulders and culverts sized for the ditch they cross. Chip seal and recycled millings are lower-cost surfaces for lightly used lanes.
Road constructionA lot of rural pavement near Wenonah fails at the edges, where water gets under the asphalt and tires break the shoulder down. Overlays, edge rebuilds and better drainage are often the fix. When the base is gone, we rebuild it before we pave.
Asphalt paving
Winters in central Illinois bring freeze and thaw, and water trapped under pavement is what heaves and cracks it. Slow-draining soils are common here, so we check drainage on every site, dig out soft ground, compact base rock in lifts and grade so water leaves the surface and its edges quickly.
Bids are only comparable when they spell out the same things: base depth, compacted thickness, how edges are finished, and where water is meant to go. Ask for those before you pick a number.
Typical ranges. Your Wenonah estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

If it is faded but still flat and firm, with only small cracks, sealcoat and crack filling may be enough. If it has potholes, sunken areas or wide cracks in a web pattern, the base has failed and it needs repaving. We check which during your free estimate, with 25% off.
Village size does not set the price; the job does. Cost depends on area, base condition, digging and drainage work, asphalt thickness and access for equipment. A small driveway still needs full base prep. We measure and price it in a free estimate, with 25% off the work.
Typically a compacted crushed-stone base several inches deep on firm soil, with soft spots dug out first, and that holds for any Wenonah 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.
Usually yes, and it is a common question on Wenonah lanes. We plan the approach before the day of paving, and building a turnaround into the job often costs less than you would expect while making the drive far more usable.
We pave all around Wenonah, across Montgomery County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
