Main routes: Route 13 and Route 15
Freeburg grew into a commuter town without losing the farm ground around it, and both show up in the paving. Subdivision driveways on one side, parking lots and shop yards on the other, plus the long private lanes out past the last streetlight. Route 13 and Route 15 come down four lanes from Belleville and narrow to three through the village, where Route 15 splits off east.
Coal drew German settlers here from about 1830, and the Peabody River King Mine worked nearby from 1957 to 1989. What sits under a driveway today is still what decides how long it lasts. We dig out soft spots, compact an aggregate base in layers, grade for runoff and roll hot mix to a dense finish. Free estimates and 25% off. The number is (866) 490-7680.
A subdivision drive here is short, visible from the street and usually two cars wide, so the finish matters as much as the base. An older place on the edge of the village may have a long drive that has settled in the middle. Either way we set the grade first, compact the rock, then place hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted, with more where a trailer or camper sits.
Driveway pavingBusiness lots near the Route 13 and Route 15 corridor take steady traffic and delivery trucks. Church and school lots fill and empty in waves. We build the base for the heaviest wheel load, pitch the surface to a low side so water is not standing near an entrance, and lay out stalls and aisles that work with the entrance you already have.
Parking lot pavingThe old Freeburg Road follows the 1850s plank road route toward Belleville, a reminder that these connections have carried traffic a long time. We build private roads, subdivision streets and farm lanes with a compacted base, a crowned surface and edges that hold up where trucks swing wide.
Road constructionSidewalk-to-driveway transitions, trail connections, subdivision patches and small pads are all part of the work around Freeburg. Small jobs still get a compacted base, clean saw-cut edges and a proper tie-in to the existing pavement.
Asphalt paving
The ground here is rolling plain between the Kaskaskia and the Mississippi, fertile and heavy with clay in places. Clay swells wet and shrinks dry, and a freeze on top of saturated ground heaves the asphalt. We build drainage into the grade and compact the base in layers so the surface has something stable under it.
Before you sign anything, get the base depth and the compacted asphalt thickness on paper. Two bids that look far apart are often just two different pavements.

Requirements vary by village and county, and the rules for a new entrance onto a state route differ from a driveway inside a subdivision. We tell you what a job like yours generally involves, and you confirm the details with the village before work starts.
Often, yes. If the base is still solid and the cracking is shallow, a new asphalt layer over a prepared surface costs less than a full rebuild. Where the base has failed, an overlay cracks again in the same places, so we check before recommending one.
On a Freeburg 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.
Yes, widening is routine work in Freeburg. The added strip gets its own base, is tied into the existing pavement with a clean edge so the seam does not open, and is rolled with the rest so the surface reads as one driveway.
