Fewer than a hundred people live here, on a small square of Morgan County ground about eight miles west-southwest of Jacksonville. I-72 and US-36 pass roughly half a mile south without an exit into the village, and the old alignment of US-36 runs about the same distance north, so everything local comes in by county and township roads.
That makes driveways and farm lanes most of the work, with the occasional church or shop lot. We grade, build a compacted rock base and place hot-mix asphalt over it, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for a residential drive. Lanes carrying equipment get more.

Out here a driveway is often a long run from a county road to a house set back off it. That length is an advantage, because it gives water somewhere to go if the surface is crowned and the ditches are open. We strip soft topsoil, compact rock in layers, place hot mix and roll the edges tight. Long drives can be paved in phases so the cost lands over two seasons instead of one.
Driveway pavingA small village lot at a church, hall or shop still needs the same fundamentals as a big one. We size the base for the heaviest vehicle that uses it, slope the surface to a planned low point, and place the asphalt in lifts. Gravel areas that have held up for years can often be built on rather than dug out entirely.
Parking lot pavingFarm lanes, machine shed approaches and private roads take the heaviest loads in the area and get built accordingly. We grade and crown them, compact a deeper rock base, then finish with asphalt or chip seal. Chip seal is worth asking about on a long lane where the traffic is light and the budget matters.
Road constructionA lot of rural pavement near Lynnville 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
Morgan County sits on loess-covered upland cut by creek valleys, and the silty ground drains slowly where it is flat. Water held in the base is the reason most rural pavement fails early, since freeze-thaw winters work on any wet layer. We build the grade to shed water first and compact the base before a load of asphalt shows up.
The part of the job you can see is the last two inches. Ask what is underneath, how it will be compacted, and which way the finished surface drains.
Typical ranges. Your Lynnville estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Yes. We can build the base for the whole lane and pave the section nearest the house or the road first, then finish the rest later. The base is the part you do not want to shortcut, so we plan the phases around keeping that continuous.
Yes. We pave in Lynnville, Murrayville, Woodson, Winchester, Manchester and the rest of Morgan County, along with greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Estimates are free and you get 25% off.
Sometimes. If the base under your Lynnville 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.
As much as the budget allows. Long lanes around Lynnville are often done in stages, starting at the road or at the worst stretch. We build each stage so the next one ties in cleanly rather than leaving a lip where the work stopped.
We pave all around Lynnville, across Morgan County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
