Main routes: I-55 and Route 104
The village took its name from Di Vernon, a character in the novel Rob Roy, and a post office has operated here since 1887. It is a small place in the Springfield metro area with the interstate at its edge, which makes for a useful mix of work: home driveways on village streets, and shop pads and business lots near the highway.
The village limits reach both I-55 and Route 104, so heavier traffic is never far from a local drive or lot. We build every surface the same way, sized to what uses it: soft material out, rock compacted in layers, grade set to move water off, and hot-mix asphalt rolled to a dense finish.

Village drives here are short and close to the house, so the fall away from the foundation is the first thing we set, followed by a clean tie-in at the street. Country drives outside the village are longer and cross changing ground, so we walk those end to end first. Either way, rock goes in compacted in lifts and asphalt is placed at a typical 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups.
Driveway pavingChurch lots, a school lot, a small business or shop lot near Route 104: all of them need an entrance built heavier than the parking area and a grade that sends water somewhere specific. We build deeper base along the drive aisles and the apron, and pitch the surface to an outlet. Sound older lots often need patching and seal coating rather than replacement.
Parking lot pavingFarm lanes, private drives and access roads between the highway and a shop or yard are steady work in this part of Sangamon County. We crown the lane so water sheds, cut shoulders so it keeps going, and thicken the base at the tie-in where loaded trucks slow and turn. Chip seal is a good fit on long, lightly used lanes.
Road constructionAround Divernon we see plenty of pavement that has been patched over and over. Sometimes one more patch is the right call. Sometimes a mill-and-overlay or a rebuild saves money over the next ten years. We will lay out both options so you can choose.
Asphalt paving
Central Illinois upland soils formed in loess over glacial till, and the flat ones have needed tile drainage for generations. What does not drain under a field will not drain under pavement either. We remove soft material, compact rock in lifts so the base sheds water, and set enough slope that a freeze has nothing to work with.
When you compare bids, ask each contractor for three numbers in writing: the compacted asphalt thickness, the base depth, and what happens to the water. Those three decide how long the surface lasts.

Both work. What matters is temperature and a dry, stable subgrade. Hot mix needs to be placed and compacted while it is still hot, so very cold days are the limit, and saturated ground has to dry out or be rebuilt first. We schedule around the weather and the site.
Yes. We work in Divernon and the nearby Sangamon County towns, including Pawnee, Auburn, Thayer and Virden, along with greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Driveways, parking lots, farm lanes and private roads are all part of it. Estimates are free and you get 25% off.
Sometimes. If the base under your Divernon pavement is still solid and the surface only has shallow cracking, an overlay can work well. If the pavement is sinking, rutting or breaking into alligator cracks, the base has failed and it needs to be rebuilt first. The free estimate is where we sort that out.
Yes, and we phase it so the lot stays usable. Most small Divernon lots are done in sections, with the entrance kept open where possible, so a business or a Sunday service is not shut out while the asphalt cures.
We pave all around Divernon, across Sangamon County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
