Blacktop that holds up in Hillview

No state highway reaches this village. You get here on local and county roads, down where Hurricane Creek comes out of its valley into the Illinois River bottoms. That setting shapes the work. Driveways and parking areas here sit on low, damp ground or on the slope above it, and both need drainage planned before any asphalt is ordered.

We handle the whole job: cut out soft material, bring in rock and compact it in layers, set a grade that moves water off, then place hot mix and roll it tight. Lanes, access roads and shop pads get the same treatment. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and 25% off applies.

Driveway paving in Hillview

A driveway in a creek valley is only as good as its drainage. We look at where water comes from before we look at the surface, then set the grade so it leaves and stays gone. Under the asphalt goes a compacted rock base sized to what actually uses the drive. Hot mix typically runs 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups, thicker where a loaded truck sits.

Parking lot paving in Hillview

Village work means a church lot, a small business pad or the parking and turnaround at a shop or farm building. Those get a base built for trucks and a grade that pushes water toward an outlet instead of the building. Where existing asphalt is still solid, patching and seal coating keep it going for less.

Road construction & private roads

Since the village is served by county and township roads, much of what we pave is the private piece: a shared lane, a long farm entrance, the stretch from the road to the house. Crown the surface, compact the base, keep the ditch open. Chip seal and recycled asphalt are practical surfaces on long, lightly used lanes.

General asphalt paving & repair

Out around Hillview, general asphalt work often means shop pads, machine-shed aprons, turnarounds for trucks and trailers, and the stretch of lane where gravel keeps washing out. We build those with drainage and heavy tires in mind.

Why the base matters in Hillview

Bottomland near the Illinois River drains slowly, and ground that stays wet into a hard freeze pushes pavement up and cracks it. There is no shortcut around that. We remove soft material, compact the rock base in layers and build a grade with somewhere for the water to actually go.

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 Hillview estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Hillview paving questions

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

Can you get equipment down our county road?

Usually yes. We ask about the route in, any weight-limited bridge and the width at the tightest point before scheduling, so the trucks that show up match the access. If something is a problem, you hear it at the estimate, not on the work day.

Do you serve Wilmington, Pearl and White Hall as well?

Yes. Hillview and the villages around it are all in our area, plus the rest of Greene County and greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Estimates are free and you get 25% off the work.

Should I sealcoat my new driveway right away?

No. Fresh asphalt in Hillview needs time to cure before it is sealed, typically several months and often up to a year. Sealing too early can trap oils in the pavement. After that, sealing every few years helps it resist water, sun and salt.

Is gravel over the mud enough to build on?

Not usually. If the subgrade under a Hillview lane is soft, stone alone just sinks into it. The fix is digging out the soft spots and rebuilding in compacted layers so the base has something to sit on.
