The post office here opened in 1883 and closed in 2013, which tells you the scale of the place. That does not change the paving. A driveway in a village of a few dozen people needs the same compacted base, the same grade for drainage and the same hot-mix asphalt as one in a city. We pave drives, small lots, shop pads and farm lanes.
Northwestern Fayette County is farm country, about sixteen miles from Vandalia, the county seat. The work out here tends to be long drives, yard pads and lanes rather than street-front lots. We cut out soft material, compact rock in layers, set the fall and roll the asphalt dense. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.
A country drive is longer than a town drive and crosses more than one kind of ground. We walk it end to end before pricing, note where it holds water and where the soft spots are, and build accordingly. Topsoil comes off, rock goes in and gets compacted in lifts, and hot-mix asphalt is placed at a typical 2 to 3 inches compacted, deeper where a truck turns or parks.
Driveway pavingIf you have a church lot, a shop pad or a yard that gets parked on, the approach is the same as a drive at a larger scale. We build the base for the heaviest vehicle that uses it, strengthen the entrance where tires turn off gravel or blacktop, and grade the surface one clear direction so water leaves instead of standing in a low spot.
Parking lot pavingField lanes and shared drives are most of the road work around Bingham. We crown them so water sheds, cut the shoulders so it keeps going, and put more base where the lane meets a county road. Chip seal fits long lanes with light use. Asphalt fits the ones that take grain trucks and equipment through the season.
Road constructionFarm yards, equipment pads, church lots and long country drives around Bingham each carry different loads. We size the base and the asphalt to the traffic that will actually use it, then compact every layer so it stays put.
Asphalt paving
Upland Fayette County soil is loess over old glacial till, and water moves through it very slowly. Anything trapped under pavement stays there and lifts the surface when it freezes. We handle it the same way every time: take out the soft material, compact rock in layers, and set enough slope that runoff is gone before winter can use it.
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 Bingham estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

No. The steps do not change with the size. Soft material still has to come out, the rock base still has to be compacted in layers, and the grade still has to move water. A short drive just takes less material and less time, which is reflected in the estimate.
Yes. We pave in Bingham and the nearby towns, including Fillmore, Ramsey, Coffeen and Vandalia, along with the rest of Fayette County and greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Estimates are free and you get 25% off.
Hot-mix asphalt needs warm air and warm ground to compact properly, and the plants serving Bingham typically run from spring into late fall. Winter is a good time to get your estimate and book a spot for the season.
Usually yes, and it is a common question on Bingham 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.
