Built for Worden's ground
The village drains west to tributaries of Cahokia Creek, which runs on to the Mississippi. Upland soil here is thick windblown loess silt that compacts well but holds moisture, and freeze-thaw winters lift pavement sitting on a wet base. We strip soft material, compact rock in lifts and grade so water leaves the surface.
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.
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 Worden estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.
