Main routes: Route 127
Most of Donnellson sits in Montgomery County, with a slice across the line in Bond County, but a driveway works the same on either side. We pave driveways and parking lots in and around the village first, then the farm lanes and private roads that tie homes and fields to the county roads.
The village was laid out around 1858, and Route 127 runs through the center as Washington Street, about 9 miles south of Hillsboro and 11 miles north of Greenville. Each job starts with the ground: digging out soft spots, building a compacted rock base, then placing hot mix with grades that shed water. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate and 25% off.
A Donnellson driveway may be a short drive off Washington Street or a long lane out to a farmhouse. Both need firm support. We grade the route, cut out weak soil, compact base rock in layers and pave, usually with 2 to 3 inches of compacted hot mix for home use. Where the drive meets Route 127, we build a wider apron for safe, easy turns.
Driveway pavingAlong Washington Street, churches, shops and small business lots need a surface that drains and holds up, and out of town, farm yards and shop pads carry heavier tires. We size the base for the heaviest vehicle that will use each area, pave in lifts and grade so water runs off. Worn lots with a good base can often be resurfaced.
Parking lot pavingFarm lanes and private roads around Donnellson need a compacted base, a crown down the middle, and ditches or culverts that carry water away. We build them for the heaviest traffic expected. For long, lightly used lanes, chip seal or recycled millings can cost less than hot mix, and we price them side by side.
Road constructionFarm yards, equipment pads, church lots and long country drives around Donnellson 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
The village drains south toward Yankee Creek, part of the Shoal Creek and Kaskaskia River watershed. Slow-draining soils are common in this part of Illinois, and winter freeze-thaw punishes a weak base. We build up firm compacted rock, keep edges supported and set grades so water leaves the pavement instead of soaking in.
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.
Typical ranges. Your Donnellson estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Not for how we build it. Most of the village is in Montgomery County and part is in Bond County, and the ground, drainage and traffic on your property decide the base and asphalt thickness. We give free estimates on both sides of the line, with 25% off.
Yes. Paving the first stretch where your drive meets the road keeps gravel off the street and stops the ruts that form where tires turn. We build it on a compacted base and taper the end so it meets the gravel cleanly. It can be priced on its own or with the full drive.
On a Donnellson 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.
It can, but it has to be built for that load. On Donnellson properties, heavy equipment needs a deeper base and a thicker mat than a car driveway. Tell us what actually drives on it, including grain trucks and trailers, and the estimate is sized to that.
We pave all around Donnellson, across Montgomery County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
