Main routes: Route 4
Third Street carries Route 4 through the middle of town, and most of what we pave in Girard sits a block or two off it. Driveways come first, then parking lots for the churches, shops and small businesses nearby. A drive that holds water at the apron or breaks up in the wheel tracks almost always has a base problem under the surface.
Sunset Lake is four miles west and Otter Lake six, so there are cabin drives and lane approaches out that way that take a beating from spring rain. Every job starts with grade and a compacted rock base, then hot mix rolled to a dense finish. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and 25% off comes with it.
A town drive here is short and close to the street, and a lake or country drive can run a few hundred feet. Both need the same thing underneath: soft ground removed and rock compacted in layers. Over that we place hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups, with more where a truck or trailer turns and sits.
Driveway pavingLots along Third Street and the side streets off it see steady in-and-out traffic, which is hard on entrances and on the spots where delivery trucks stop. We build those areas heavier, grade the lot so water runs to one side, and set clean edges. Older asphalt in decent shape may only need patching and seal coating.
Parking lot pavingNorth and east of town the work runs to farm lanes, field entrances and private roads shared by a few families. We crown the surface, compact the base and keep water moving off the driving lane. Chip seal works on long lanes with light traffic, and recycled asphalt is a lower-cost surface for a lane that just needs to stay solid.
Road constructionAround Girard 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
Winters here run through repeated freezing and thawing, and that is what turns a small crack into a broken edge by March. Water sitting in a soft base is the fuel for it. We grade for runoff, compact the rock in layers and seal the surface only once new asphalt has cured for months, not days.
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.

Yes. Nilwood, Virden, Thayer and the farms between them are all close by, and we work the rest of Macoupin County and greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Give us the address when you call and we will set a time to look.
Warm, dry weather gives hot mix the best chance to compact properly, so late spring through early fall is the usual window. Work outside that range is possible when conditions allow. If a drive is failing now, we can look at it any time and plan the schedule.
Yes. We work in Girard and throughout Macoupin County, along with the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Call or send the form with your address and we will set up a time to look at the job.
Yes, and we phase it so the lot stays usable. Most small Girard lots are done in sections, with the entrance kept open where possible, so a business or a Sunday service is not shut out while the asphalt cures.
