Main routes: Route 138 and Route 4
In 1938 a meteorite came through a garage roof here and lodged in the seat of the car parked inside. It sits at the Field Museum now. Garages and the drives leading to them are still a good share of the work in this old coal town, along with parking lots for the businesses on the highway.
Route 138 runs through the center as Central Street and South 8th Street, four miles southeast to White City and Interstate 55. Route 4 along the west edge carries the original alignment of Route 66 toward Gillespie and Staunton. Every job gets the same treatment: soft ground removed, rock base compacted, grade set for runoff, hot-mix asphalt rolled tight. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.
Mining town lots run narrow and deep, and many drives are single width with a garage at the back. We keep the line straight, build the base out past the edges so they do not crumble, and place hot-mix asphalt, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups. Where the drive meets Central Street or a side street, the apron gets extra rock under it.
Driveway pavingA storefront lot on Route 138, a church lot, a shop yard or a small industrial pad all start with the entrance and the drainage. The base is sized for the heaviest truck that will use it, and the surface is graded so water leaves rather than pooling in the low corner. Older lots in sound shape may need only repairs and seal coating.
Parking lot pavingPrivate drives shared by a few houses, alleys, and lanes out to shops and storage yards hold up when the base is right and the crown sheds water. We rebuild the base, shape the surface and pave to match the traffic. Entrances onto Route 4 or Route 138 get thicker rock where tires turn and trucks brake.
Road constructionIn a town like Benld, general asphalt work covers a lot of ground: shop and church lots, alley aprons, repairs along a curb line, overlays on older streets and pads for equipment. The approach stays the same: fix the base, lay the hot mix, roll it tight, finish the edges.
Asphalt paving
Any low spot in a driveway or lot turns into a puddle, and water that sits will find its way into the base. Clay-heavy soils common across the region hold that moisture, then freeze-thaw winters lift and crack whatever is on top. We set the grade, cut out soft subgrade and compact rock in layers before paving.
The part of the job you can see is the last two inches. Ask what is underneath, how it will be compacted, and which way the finished surface drains.
Typical ranges. Your Benld estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Asphalt flexes with freeze-thaw movement instead of cracking in slabs, it goes down in a day or two, and repairs blend in. Concrete lasts a long time but is harder to patch cleanly and more disruptive to replace. Most drives around here are asphalt for good reason.

Work inside your Benld property line usually does not need one, but a new entrance onto a city street, a county road or a state route often does. The rules differ by road, so check with the city or county first; the owner normally pulls that permit.
