Paving Madison from the base up

This city has been here since 1820, on the flat American Bottom floodplain across the river from St. Louis. Route 203 runs through the middle as McCambridge Avenue and Edwardsville Road, reaching I-55/70 at Exit 4, and Route 3 crosses the west side as Cedar Street. World Wide Technology Raceway is here, and the Illinois end of the Old Chain of Rocks Bridge sits on Chouteau Island.

We pave driveways and parking lots across the city, plus the truck and yard areas that come with industrial ground. Homes get a compacted rock base and hot-mix asphalt, usually 2 to 3 inches compacted. Anything carrying trailers gets a deeper base and more than one lift. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.

Driveway paving in Madison

Older neighborhoods here have short drives, narrow aprons and curb cuts that have taken decades of traffic. We rebuild the apron along with the drive, because that is the section that cracks first. Soft soil comes out, rock goes in and gets compacted, then hot mix is placed and rolled, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for a car and pickup drive. A drive that parks a work truck gets built heavier from the subgrade up.

Parking lot paving in Madison

Industrial yards, business lots along Route 203 and Cedar Street, church lots and apartment parking all take different loads, and we build each to what actually uses it. Trailer and dock areas get the deepest base and the thickest asphalt. We plan drainage to defined low points, then place and compact in lifts. Sound lots often need only repair, an overlay or seal coating.

Road construction & private roads

Private roads, plant access roads, rail-adjacent service drives and short subdivision streets all get the same sequence: grading, a compacted rock base sized to the traffic, and a crowned surface that moves water off. Entrances where trucks swing wide get extra base and a thicker edge, because turning loads are what break pavement edges apart.

General asphalt paving & repair

Around Madison 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.

Ground, water and winter in Madison

The American Bottom is deep river-laid clay, silt, sand and gravel behind levees, and it is flat, so water does not leave on its own. That is the challenge for pavement here. With clay-heavy ground and freeze-thaw winters, anything built on a wet base moves. We set positive drainage, dig out soft material and compact the rock base in layers.

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.

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

Madison paving questions

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

Can you pave a yard that holds trailers and equipment?

Yes. Trailer yards and equipment storage need a deeper compacted base and asphalt placed in more than one lift, since parked loads sit in one spot for long stretches. We walk the yard, ask what uses it and where water goes, then size the build during the free estimate.

Do you work in Venice, Granite City and Pontoon Beach as well?

Yes. We pave in Madison, Venice, Granite City, Pontoon Beach, Brooklyn, Fairmont City and across the Metro East, plus the Missouri side of greater St. Louis. Estimates are free and you get 25% off on driveways, lots and roads.

How long does a new asphalt driveway take in Madison?

Most Madison driveways are paved in one to two days once the base is ready, with more time if the old surface has to come out or the base needs rebuilding. You can usually walk on it the same day and drive on it after a few days, depending on the weather.

Can you pave a church or small business lot in Madison?

Yes, and we phase it so the lot stays usable. Most small Madison 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.
