Main routes: Route 140
Platted in 1841 and incorporated in 1857, this Bond County village went by Bucktown, Houston and Shakerag before the current name stuck. Route 140 enters on Wall Street, turns north on Maple Street and heads east on Main Street toward Fayette County. I-70 Exit 52 sits about a mile south, and Owl Creek runs along the north side of town.
Driveways and parking lots make up most of the work here, with farm lanes outside the village. We grade for drainage, take out soft soil, compact a rock base in layers and place hot-mix asphalt over it. A house drive typically finishes at 2 to 3 inches compacted.

In-village drives off Wall, Maple and Main are short, with the apron at the street taking the worst of the weather and the weight. Places out toward the interstate exit have longer lanes that started as gravel. We build both from the subgrade up: soft soil removed, rock compacted in layers, hot mix placed and rolled while hot. Two to three inches compacted is typical for cars and pickups.
Driveway pavingChurch lots, shop pads and small business parking in the village, plus the farm and equipment yards around it, each get a base sized to their own traffic. We plan entrances and turning room, grade the surface so runoff leaves at a chosen point, and place asphalt in lifts. A lot with sound rock under it may only need repair and an overlay.
Parking lot pavingFarm lanes, field entrances, private roads and access drives get graded, crowned and built over compacted rock. On lanes running toward Owl Creek or low ground, we pay close attention to where water crosses and build up the shoulders. Entrances onto Route 140 get a deeper base, since turning trucks work that edge hardest.
Road constructionFarm yards, equipment pads, church lots and long country drives around Mulberry Grove 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
Bond County ground is loess over an Illinoian till plain, with poorly drained upland soils and creek bottoms that flood. Owl Creek joins Hurricane Creek about a mile and a half east of town, so runoff has somewhere to go if the grade sends it there. Wet base plus freeze-thaw winters is what cracks pavement, so we drain and compact first.
Before you sign anything, get the base depth and the compacted asphalt thickness on paper. Two bids that look far apart are often just two different pavements.

Yes. A lot near an interstate exit usually sees trailers and delivery trucks, which need a deeper compacted base and asphalt in more than one lift. We ask what vehicles use it and how they turn, then size the base and thickness during the free estimate.

On a Mulberry Grove job the price comes down to size, how much base work is needed, the asphalt thickness, whether old pavement has to come out, drainage fixes and how easily trucks can reach the work. Your written estimate lists each of those so you can compare it with other bids line by line.
It can, but it has to be built for that load. On Mulberry Grove properties, heavy equipment needs a deeper base and a thicker mat than a car driveway. Tell us what actually drives on it, including grain trucks and trailers, and the estimate is sized to that.
