Main routes: Route 3, Route 143, and Route 111
Two rivers shape East Alton. The Mississippi borders the village on the southwest, and the Wood River runs through its north and west parts. That makes drainage the first thing we plan when we pave driveways and parking lots here. Water that sits on or under pavement is what breaks it apart.
The village is also home to Olin Corporation, and four state routes, 3, 111, 140 and 143, cross or border the village. We build driveways, business lots and access roads with a compacted rock base and hot-mix asphalt sized for the loads they carry, then grade each surface so water runs off instead of soaking in.

For a home driveway in an older neighborhood or a newer one like Emerald Ridge, the fundamentals are the same. We remove failed concrete or blacktop, fix soft spots in the base, and place hot-mix asphalt, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted. Near the rivers, ground can stay damp, so we grade each drive to shed water and build the base to stay firm.
Driveway pavingFor a business, church or industrial lot along Route 3, Route 111 or Route 140, we plan for the heaviest vehicle first. Truck lots and loading areas need a thicker base and more asphalt than a car lot. We grade to planned low points, pave in lifts, and can phase the work so part of the lot stays open.
Parking lot pavingWe build and repave access roads to industrial and commercial buildings, private drives and residential streets. Each gets a graded, compacted rock base and a crown so water runs off the surface, with asphalt thickness matched to truck traffic. Where an access road meets a state route, the entrance gets extra strength, because that is where turning loads break pavement.
Road constructionAround East Alton 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
Low ground near the Mississippi and the Wood River can hold water longer after rain, and the clay-heavy soils common around St. Louis slow drainage further. When that water freezes under pavement, it heaves and cracks the surface. We start every job with grading and drainage, remove soft material and compact the rock base in layers.
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.

Usually not, but it needs more prep. Where the ground stays damp, we dig out soft soil, add compacted rock and sometimes lay a stabilizing fabric under the base. Grading the finished surface so water runs off is just as important. We check your site during the free estimate.
Yes. We serve East Alton, Wood River, Rosewood Heights, Bethalto and the rest of Madison County, along with 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 East Alton typically run from spring into late fall. Winter is a good time to get your estimate and book a spot for the season.
Both. Patching a failed section, filling cracks before winter and rebuilding an apron are regular work in East Alton. We will tell you honestly when patching is throwing good money after bad.
