Main routes: Route 67
Route 67 is the spine of this southeast corner of Scott County, running north through Roodhouse and Manchester toward Jacksonville. It is a village of a couple hundred people surrounded by farm ground, so most pavement here is a driveway, a lane back to a barn, or a lot at a church or a shop.
We handle all three. The order does not change: grade for drainage, strip out soft soil, compact a rock base in layers, then place and roll hot-mix asphalt. A residential drive typically finishes at 2 to 3 inches compacted. Equipment lanes get a deeper base and more asphalt. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.
Rural drives take more than town drives do. A pickup, a trailer, a delivery truck and the occasional tractor all use the same surface, and the length usually means the grade changes along the way. We shape it to shed water, build the base for the heaviest regular load, and place hot mix over compacted rock. Edges get rolled tight, because an unsupported edge is the first thing to break on a lane with no curb.
Driveway pavingChurch lots, shop pads and farm yards make up the commercial paving here. We plan where trucks enter and turn, size the base for those loads, and set the surface to drain to a chosen low point instead of a puddle in the middle. Asphalt goes down in lifts. A lot with sound rock underneath may only need patching and an overlay.
Parking lot pavingField lanes, grain bin approaches and private roads off Route 67 get graded, crowned and built on a compacted rock base before any surface goes on. On long lanes with light traffic, chip seal is worth asking about. Where trucks turn off the highway, the entrance gets built heavier than the run behind it.
Road constructionFarm yards, equipment pads, church lots and long country drives around Manchester each carry different loads. We size the base and the asphalt to the traffic that will actually use it, then compact every layer so it stays put.
Asphalt paving
Western Illinois upland is loess over till, silty ground that drains slowly once it is flat and compacted by traffic. Water held under a surface is what ruins it, and freeze-thaw winters finish the job. We grade so runoff leaves, pull out soft material and compact the rock base in layers so the asphalt has something that will not move.
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.
Typical ranges. Your Manchester estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

It can be. Chip seal costs less than hot-mix asphalt and works on lanes with lighter traffic, as long as the base under it is built and compacted properly. For a lane that takes loaded trucks daily, hot mix over a deeper base usually holds up better over time.
Yes. We pave in Manchester, Roodhouse, Murrayville, Alsey, Winchester and the surrounding Scott and Morgan County area, plus greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Estimates are free and you get 25% off.
No. Fresh asphalt in Manchester 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.
Usually yes, and it is a common question on Manchester 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.
We pave all around Manchester, across Scott County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
