Main routes: Route 160
Route 160 starts just south of the village at Route 15 and runs north through town toward Okawville, where Route 177 meets I-64 at exit 41. That is the road most trucks take to get here. We pave driveways and parking lots in Addieville, along with shop pads, church lots and farm lanes.
The village was named for Adele Morrison, the wife of a town promoter, and has had a post office since 1870. It sits on a loess-covered till plain with slow-draining claypan soils, which is the single biggest factor in how long pavement lasts here. We grade for water, compact rock in layers and place hot-mix asphalt in lifts. Free estimate at (866) 490-7680, with 25% off.
Claypan under a driveway holds water instead of letting it through, so the surface has to shed it before it ever soaks in. We set the slope first, dig out weak material, and compact rock in layers to build something that carries weight when the ground is wet. Home drives typically finish at 2 to 3 inches of compacted hot mix, with clean, supported edges.
Driveway pavingChurch lots, shop pads and farm yards along Center Street, Illinois Street and 2nd Street take trailers, grain trucks and pickups. Base depth is set to the heaviest of those. We pave in lifts, roll while the mix is hot, and grade the surface so water reaches a planned outlet rather than standing in the parking area.
Parking lot pavingFarm lanes, field access roads and private drives run out from the village in every direction. Each gets a compacted base, a crown, solid shoulders and culverts sized to the ditch they cross. Chip seal and recycled millings are practical surfaces for a long lane that carries light traffic most of the year.
Road constructionA lot of rural pavement near Addieville 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
Loess over a claypan till plain drains slowly, and southern Illinois winters run through repeated freezes and thaws. Water trapped in a weak base freezes, lifts the surface and leaves cracks behind. We take out soft material, compact rock in lifts, and set the grade so water is off the pavement before it can sit.
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.

Usually the grade is flat or the base has settled into a low spot, and claypan ground underneath keeps the water from going anywhere. The fix is shape and base: regrade the surface so it sheds, and rebuild the base where it has sunk. Patching alone leaves the puddle.
