Main routes: Route 140
The first cooperative soybean processing unit in Illinois, the Alhambra Grain & Feed Co., began full production here in 1945. Today we pave driveways and parking lots in the village and on the properties around it, from home drives to shop yards and equipment pads. A drive that ruts every spring or a lot that holds water after a storm usually comes down to base and drainage.
Route 140 runs through town as Main Street, west to Hamel and east toward Greenville. Every job gets a compacted rock base, a grade that moves water off the surface and hot-mix asphalt rolled to a dense finish. Farm lanes and private roads are part of the work too.

Driveways around a farm village often carry more than cars. Pickups, trailers and the occasional grain truck all use them. We build for the heaviest load: soft spots removed, rock compacted, and hot-mix asphalt placed, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups and more where trucks turn. We can pave a long lane in phases if that suits your budget.
Driveway pavingFor a business on Main Street, a church lot, or a shop and equipment yard at the edge of the village, we plan the entrance off Route 140 or the side street, build the base for trucks and grade the lot so water does not stand. Older lots in sound shape may only need repairs and seal coating.
Parking lot pavingWe build and repave farm lanes, field roads and private drives shared by a few homes. A crowned surface over a compacted base keeps water out of the wheel paths. Chip seal fits long lanes with light traffic, and asphalt fits lanes with regular truck use. Entrances off Route 140 or county roads get extra base where tires turn.
Road constructionA lot of rural pavement near Alhambra 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
Alhambra drains southwest toward Silver Creek, part of the Kaskaskia River watershed. Water that finds no path off a driveway soaks into the clay-heavy soils common in the St. Louis region, then freezes and heaves the surface in winter. We grade every job for runoff, remove soft material and compact the rock base in layers.
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.
Typical ranges. Your Alhambra estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Yes, if it is built for them. Heavy trucks need a thicker compacted rock base and more asphalt than a car driveway, especially at turns, at the apron and wherever they stop. We ask what uses the drive and size the base and asphalt to match during your free estimate.
Yes. We serve Alhambra and nearby villages like Hamel, Grantfork, Marine and Highland, along with the rest of Madison County and greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Estimates are free, and you get 25% off.
On a Alhambra job the price comes down to size, how much base work is needed, the asphalt thickness, whether old pavement has to come out, drainage fixes and how easily trucks can reach the work. Your written estimate lists each of those so you can compare it with other bids line by line.
Usually yes, and it is a common question on Alhambra lanes. We plan the approach before the day of paving, and building a turnaround into the job often costs less than you would expect while making the drive far more usable.
We pave all around Alhambra, across Madison County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
