Blacktop that holds up in Edwardsville

Besides being the Madison County seat, Edwardsville is home to SIUE, whose campus of about 2,660 acres is one of the largest college campuses in the country by land area. We pave driveways and parking lots across the city with a compacted rock base and hot-mix asphalt placed in lifts.

Older areas like the Leclaire historic district, a former model factory village, are part of the city, and driveway work here ranges widely. For homes, we focus on base, drainage and a clean apron. For businesses and churches along Routes 157, 159 and 143, we build lots for steady traffic and delivery trucks. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.

Driveway paving in Edwardsville

A driveway behind an older home and a three-car drive in a new subdivision have different problems. Older drives often need the base rebuilt; newer ones may need widening, a side pad, or a fix for water pooling at the garage. We remove failed material, compact rock and place hot-mix asphalt, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted, graded to drain.

Parking lot paving in Edwardsville

For an office, retail, restaurant or church lot on Route 159, Route 157 or Route 143, we plan the layout, entrances and drainage together. The base is built for delivery trucks, the asphalt goes down in lifts, and the surface is graded to planned low points. We can phase the work so the lot stays partly open, and seal coat it once the new asphalt has cured.

Parking lot paving

Road construction & private roads

We build and repave subdivision streets, private roads and access drives for commercial and industrial sites. Each gets a graded, compacted base and a crown that sheds water, with asphalt thickness matched to the traffic. Streets that carry garbage trucks and school buses need more base and asphalt than a driveway, and we size them that way.

General asphalt paving & repair

Beyond driveways and lots, we handle the everyday asphalt work around Edwardsville: overlays on sound pavement, full-depth patches where the base gave out, walking paths, sport courts and shop aprons. You get a straight answer on whether to repair or replace.

What's under a Edwardsville driveway

Freeze-thaw winters and hot, humid summers are hard on asphalt across the St. Louis region. The clay-heavy soils common here drain slowly, so water that gets under a driveway stays there, freezes and lifts the surface. We grade for runoff first, remove soft soil and compact rock in layers before any asphalt goes down.

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.

Compacted asphaltTypically 2 to 3 in. for a car drive
Stone baseTypically 4 to 8 in., compacted
Drive on itUsually 2 to 3 days, longer in heat
First sealcoatTypically 6 to 12 months after paving

Typical ranges. Your Edwardsville estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Edwardsville paving questions

Straight answers for Edwardsville homeowners and property managers. Anything else, call (866) 490-7680.

Can a new driveway suit an older home in Edwardsville?

Yes. We keep the look clean and fitting: a neat edge, a well-shaped apron and a width that suits the lot. If your home is in a historic district, check whether any local approval applies to changes at the street. We can provide a layout and estimate to share if approval is needed.

Do you serve Edwardsville and Glen Carbon?

Yes. We serve Edwardsville, Glen Carbon, Maryville, Collinsville, Troy 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. Call (866) 490-7680.

What kind of base should go under a Edwardsville driveway?

Typically a compacted crushed-stone base several inches deep on firm soil, with soft spots dug out first, and that holds for any Edwardsville driveway. On clay soils that hold water, a thicker base and good slope matter even more. The estimate states the base depth so there are no surprises.

What causes those cracks along the edge of my drive?

Unsupported edges. When the ground beside a Edwardsville driveway settles or gets driven on, the asphalt has nothing holding it up and breaks off. Rebuilding the edge and backfilling it properly is what stops it.
