Driveways and lots across Woodlawn

I-64 Exit 69 is signed for Woodlawn, though the interchange itself sits out in the surrounding townships rather than in the village. That is a fair picture of the place: a small Jefferson County community west of Mount Vernon with its own grade school and high school districts, and farm ground on every side.

Driveways and parking lots are the bulk of our work here, followed by farm lanes and private roads. Each one starts with grade, then a compacted rock base, then hot-mix asphalt placed in lifts and rolled. Chip seal and recycled millings are options where traffic is light. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.

Driveway paving in Woodlawn

Village drives run a short way off the street; the ones at the edge of town run a long way off a county road. Both need base built for pickups and delivery trucks, not just cars. We remove failed asphalt or rutted gravel, repair soft spots, and place hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for a home drive.

Parking lot paving in Woodlawn

School lots, church lots, shop pads and farm yards make up the lot work around Woodlawn. Buses and trucks concentrate weight, so base rock is sized and compacted for them. We lay out where vehicles enter and turn, grade water to a planned outlet, then pave and roll in lifts.

Parking lot paving

Road construction & private roads

Farm lanes and private access roads out toward the interstate take loaded trucks through soft spring ground. We grade, compact rock in layers and crown the surface so water reaches the ditch. Hot mix goes where traffic is heaviest, and chip seal or millings cover the longer, lighter stretches.

General asphalt paving & repair

A lot of rural pavement near Woodlawn 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.

Built for Woodlawn's ground

Southern Illinois farm ground here lies close to level and gives water up slowly. Clay-heavy soils hold it near the surface, and freeze-thaw winters lift any pavement resting on a wet base. We cut out soft soil, compact rock in layers and build the grade so rain leaves the surface rather than working underneath it.

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.

Compacted asphaltTypically 2 to 3 in. for a car drive
Stone baseTypically 4 to 8 in., compacted
Drive on itUsually 2 to 3 days, longer in heat
First sealcoatTypically 6 to 12 months after paving

Typical ranges. Your Woodlawn estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Woodlawn paving questions

Straight answers for Woodlawn homeowners and property managers. Anything else, call (866) 490-7680.

Do you pave in Mount Vernon too?

Yes. Mount Vernon is about 6 miles east, and we pave there along with Waltonville, Ashley, Richview and the rest of Jefferson County. Driveways, parking lots, farm lanes and private roads are all part of the work. Estimates are free and you get 25% off.

Why do potholes show up first at the edge of a drive?

Because edges have the least support. Water runs off there, soaks the shoulder, and the pavement has nothing holding it from the side. A wheel dropping off then cracks it, water gets in, and it works loose from there. Backfilling tight to the edge helps.

Is my part of Jefferson County in your service area?

Yes. We work in Woodlawn and throughout Jefferson County, along with the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Call or send the form with your address and we will set up a time to look at the job.

How much of a long lane can you pave at once?

As much as the budget allows. Long lanes around Woodlawn are often done in stages, starting at the road or at the worst stretch. We build each stage so the next one ties in cleanly rather than leaving a lip where the work stopped.
