Out in Scott County the nearest town of any size is Winchester, the county seat, about six miles off, and the rest is farm ground. Glasgow holds about a square mile of village and not a drop of open water inside it. Driveways are most of what gets paved here, along with parking lots for a church or a hall and the lanes and yards that run out to the fields.
A drive that has been gravel for decades often has a decent base already, which makes for a straightforward job. Where it does not, we take out the soft material and build one. Rock compacted in layers, grade set so water leaves at the edge, hot mix placed and rolled tight. Free estimates and 25% off. Call (866) 490-7680 and tell us what the drive has to carry.
Long drives are the rule here, running from a county blacktop up to a house or a set of buildings. Length works against you, because water that cannot leave the surface runs the whole way down the wheel track. We set the cross slope first, compact the rock base under it, then place hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted where cars and pickups use it.
Driveway pavingLots here serve a church, a community building or a farm shop, and they see tractors and grain trucks as often as cars. We build the base for the heavy end of that, not the light end, and grade the surface so water leaves instead of pooling where trucks stand. Entrances get extra base where tires turn.
Parking lot pavingField lanes and private roads are steady work in this part of the county. We build a compacted base, crown the surface so it drains sideways and support the shoulders where loaded trucks run close to the edge. Chip seal is a reasonable fit on lanes that see traffic only a few weeks a year.
Road constructionA lot of rural pavement near Glasgow fails at the edges, where water gets under the asphalt and tires break the shoulder down. Overlays, edge rebuilds and better drainage are often the fix. When the base is gone, we rebuild it before we pave.
Asphalt paving
This is Illinois River country upland, with heavy silt soils and winters that cross freezing over and over. Water in the base freezes, expands and lifts the surface, and the crack that leaves takes in more water the next season. Grade and compaction interrupt that cycle, so they get the most attention.
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 Glasgow estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

We check the base before answering. Gravel that has been driven and maintained for years is often compacted enough to build on with added rock and regrading. Where the surface ruts every spring, the ground underneath is soft and needs to come out first.
Yes. Glasgow, Winchester, Alsey, Wilmington and Roodhouse are all inside our area, along with the rest of Scott County and greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Estimates are free and you get 25% off.
On a Glasgow 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.
Usually yes, and it is a common question on Glasgow lanes. We plan the approach before the day of paving, and building a turnaround into the job often costs less than you would expect while making the drive far more usable.
