Main routes: Route 3
Cadwell Evans founded this village on the banks of the Kaskaskia River in 1834, and the river still sets the terms for anything built on the ground nearby. Water level, drainage and soft subgrade all factor into a driveway or a parking lot here. We look at those before anyone talks about asphalt thickness.
Route 3 runs through, with Ruma north and Ellis Grove south. The Evansville Attendance Center serves the village as part of Sparta Community Unit School District 140. Homes, churches, shops and farms all need hard surfaces that drain. Each gets compacted rock underneath, a grade that moves water, and hot-mix asphalt rolled tight.

A drive near the river can sit on ground that firms up in summer and softens in spring, so we build for spring. Soft subgrade comes out, clean rock goes in and gets compacted in layers, and the surface is crowned or cross-sloped so runoff leaves fast. Hot-mix typically runs 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups, deeper where trucks park.
Driveway pavingSchool and church lots, a shop pad, a small business lot or a hard yard behind a building each need a base built for buses and delivery trucks, an entrance where turning loads concentrate, and a grade with a planned outlet. We place asphalt in lifts and roll it dense. Firm older lots may need only repairs and seal coating.
Parking lot pavingFarm lanes and private drives out from the village rut where water sits in the wheel paths. We crown the running surface over compacted rock, thicken the base at turns and where trucks stop, and match the wearing surface to the load. Entrances onto Route 3 get extra rock and a clean tie into the road edge.
Road constructionIn a town like Evansville, general asphalt work covers a lot of ground: shop and church lots, alley aprons, repairs along a curb line, overlays on older streets and pads for equipment. The approach stays the same: fix the base, lay the hot mix, roll it tight, finish the edges.
Asphalt paving
River bank ground drains unevenly and can stay wet long after the weather clears. Clay-heavy soils common through the region hold that moisture, and freeze-thaw winters lift the pavement sitting on it. We plan drainage first, dig out soft subgrade, compact clean rock in layers, and only then place asphalt.
A cheap bid usually gets cheap somewhere you cannot see. Ask what depth of stone goes down, how thick the asphalt is after rolling, and who fixes it if water still stands.
Typical ranges. Your Evansville estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

It affects the base more than the surface. Near the river we go deeper on rock, look harder at where runoff exits, and sometimes raise the finished grade. Asphalt flexes with ground that moves seasonally, which is an advantage over a rigid slab.
Usually. Summer and holiday breaks are good windows, because the lot can close for a few days and warm weather helps hot-mix compact properly. We work out the schedule and staging with you so access stays open where it has to be.
Sometimes. If the base under your Evansville 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.
Work inside your Evansville property line usually does not need one, but a new entrance onto a city street, a county road or a state route often does. The rules differ by road, so check with the city or county first; the owner normally pulls that permit.
We pave all around Evansville, across Randolph County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
