Main routes: Route 100
Route 100 runs right through this village, and between Grafton and Detroit that road carries the Illinois River Road scenic byway. Traffic passing through is not what wears out local pavement, though. Driveways and small lots fail from water and a weak base, and that is where we start on every job in Milton.
Work goes in order: check the drainage, cut out anything soft, compact a rock base in layers, then place hot mix and roll it while it is hot. Farm lanes and private drives outside the village get the same approach, with chip seal or recycled asphalt where that fits the traffic better. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate with 25% off.
Village lots here are modest and the drives are short, which means the grade has only a little distance to move water away from the house. We set that grade deliberately, compact the rock underneath and lay hot mix at a typical 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups. Longer country drives get more base and more asphalt where trucks and trailers use them.
Driveway pavingLots in a village this size belong to a church, a small business or a farm operation, and they usually have to double as a turnaround. We build turning areas and entrances heavier than the parking stalls, grade the surface to one outlet, and keep the tie-in at Route 100 clean so nobody stops on the through lane.
Parking lot pavingPike County farm country means long lanes, field entrances and private roads that share several properties. Those hold up when the crown is right and the base is compacted, not when a thin surface is dropped on soft ground. Chip seal works for light seasonal traffic, and asphalt is the call for lanes trucks use year round.
Road constructionA lot of rural pavement near Milton 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
Rolling upland ground here sheds water fast, which helps a surface but cuts an unsupported edge quickly. We build the grade to carry runoff to a controlled outlet and back up the edges so they do not break away. Underneath, a base compacted in layers is what resists the winter freeze-thaw cycle.
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.

Yes. A long drive can be built in phases, starting with the part that gets the most traffic or the worst drainage. We lay it out so each phase ties into the next cleanly instead of leaving a joint that fails. The estimate can show it either way.
Yes. Milton and the towns around it are all in our area, along with the rest of Pike County and greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Estimates are free and 25% off applies to the work.
Sometimes. If the base under your Milton 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 Milton 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.
