Main routes: Route 4, Route 177, and Route 161
The name changed before the town did. Platted in 1837 as Mechanicsburg, it became Mascoutah two years later, and real growth followed the railroad depot built in 1870. Route 177 runs on Main Street and meets Route 4 on Jefferson Street, Route 161 crosses Route 4 in town, and Route 4 carries on north to I-64 and Lebanon. In 1970 the mean center of the U.S. population sat five miles east-southeast of here.
We pave driveways and parking lots across the city, plus private roads and lanes outside it. Every job starts with drainage and a compacted rock base. A residential drive usually finishes at 2 to 3 inches of compacted hot-mix asphalt. Lots and truck areas get built deeper. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.
Older drives near Main Street and Jefferson Street have taken decades of freeze and thaw, and they usually fail at the apron and the edges before the middle goes. Newer subdivisions have wider drives with parking aprons. For either, we remove soft soil, compact rock in layers, then place and roll hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups. Trailers and work trucks call for a heavier build.
Driveway pavingRetail and service lots along Route 4 and Route 177, church and school lots, and park parking near Scheve Park each take different traffic. We plan entrances and aisles around how vehicles actually move, build the base to the heaviest regular load, and slope the surface to planned drainage. Asphalt goes down in lifts and gets rolled before it cools.
Parking lot pavingPrivate roads, subdivision streets, farm lanes and business access drives get graded, crowned and built over compacted rock sized to the traffic. Where a drive meets Route 4 or Route 161, we build the entrance heavier than the run behind it, since turning trucks work the edge of new pavement harder than anything else on it.
Road constructionGeneral paving in Mascoutah can be as simple as a new apron where the drive meets the street or as big as an overlay across a business lot. Either way the estimate spells out the base work, the asphalt thickness and what the finished surface should look like.
Asphalt paving
This is upland St. Clair County ground, deep windblown loess silt over clay-heavy subsoil that drains slowly. Water held in a base is the reason pavement fails early, and freeze-thaw winters pry open every crack it creates. We set the grade to move runoff off the surface, dig out soft material and compact the rock base in layers.
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.

Cars can usually get on it within a day or two, depending on weather, but fresh asphalt stays soft for a while and needs time to cure before heavy loads use it. We give you the timing for your job and where to keep trucks and trailers off in the meantime.
