Paving across Scott County

Scott County is small and entirely rural, west-central Illinois farm ground on the Illinois River. Winchester is the county seat, where a statue of Stephen A. Douglas stands on the square. We pave driveways, parking lots, farm lanes and private roads across the county, from Glasgow and Manchester down to Alsey and Riggston.

Steep bluffs drop to Illinois River bottom land that averages about three miles wide, protected by levees built in the 1930s and drained by ditches. Upland creeks run west-southwest to the river through deep valleys. The soil survey describes many secondary roads here as graveled or oiled, so a paved drive or lot is a real change. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate and 25% off.

Ground and drainage

Most upland soil here formed in loess, thickest toward the Illinois River bluffs, while the bottom land is nearly level and depends on ditches and levees to stay dry. Silt carries weight when dry and gives way when it is saturated. We proof the subgrade, correct the soft areas, compact the rock base in lifts and grade so water leaves fast.

Scott County paving questions

Can you pave over an existing gravel drive?

Often, yes. A well established gravel drive can make a good base, but it still has to be reshaped, graded and compacted first, and soft spots have to come out. We check the depth and condition of the rock before deciding whether to build on it.

How long before I can drive on new asphalt?

Light vehicle traffic is usually fine within a day or two, but fresh asphalt stays soft for weeks and cures over months. Keep heavy trucks, trailer jacks and kickstands off it early, and avoid sharp turns while parked. We give you the specifics for your job.
