Paving across Monroe County
Monroe County has grown steadily on the Illinois side, from 22,422 people in 1990 to 34,962 in 2020, with Columbia and Waterloo carrying most of it and flat former prairie to the east. Route 3 runs north and south through both cities, and the Jefferson Barracks Bridge carries I-255 across the Mississippi northwest of Columbia. New subdivisions mean new driveways, and plenty of them sit on ground that deserves a second look.
Much of the upland here is part of Illinois' sinkhole plain, where loess, glacial till and bedrock residuum cover creviced limestone. We pave driveways, parking lots and private roads in hot-mix asphalt over a compacted rock base, with runoff given a planned path off the site. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate and 25% off.
Ground and drainage
The greater southwestern Illinois sinkhole plain holds more than 10,000 sinkholes, with major clusters in northern, northwestern and south-central Monroe County. Most are cover-collapse features, and the state geological survey says they can badly damage roads and foundations and advises examining land carefully before development. West of the bluffs, the American Bottom is soft floodplain.

Monroe County paving questions
Should I worry about sinkholes under a driveway?
It is worth checking. Much of this county sits on the sinkhole plain, where creviced limestone lies under the soil cover. The state geological survey advises examining land carefully before development. We look at the site and where water drains before we pave, and we say so if something looks wrong.
Why does concentrated runoff matter on this ground?
Because water funneled into one spot can work down through the soil cover into creviced limestone and carry material with it. Spread the runoff out and get it off the pavement quickly, and the ground under it stays put. That shapes how we grade a site.
