About eleven miles south of Jacksonville, the county seat, this village sits in Morgan County farm country. Route 267 was extended north from here to Jacksonville around 2006, after US-67 shifted onto a new bypass south of I-72, so the road pattern through town is newer than the town.
Driveways are the bulk of our work in the village, with farm lanes, private roads and the occasional church or shop lot outside it. Each job begins with drainage and a compacted rock base. A residential drive usually finishes at 2 to 3 inches of compacted hot-mix asphalt, more where equipment crosses. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.
A village drive here is short and needs good edges. A drive off a county road can run several hundred feet and changes grade along the way, so water has to be handled the whole length rather than just at the house. We remove soft soil, compact rock in layers and place hot mix, rolled while hot. Two to three inches compacted covers cars and pickups, with a deeper build where trucks and trailers sit.
Driveway pavingChurch and hall lots, shop pads and farm yards are what gets paved commercially around here. We plan the entrance and turning path first, build the base for the heaviest vehicle rather than the average one, and grade the surface so water leaves at a planned low point. Asphalt goes in lifts. Sound gravel can sometimes be reworked into base.
Parking lot pavingFarm lanes, private roads and long access drives get graded, crowned and built on compacted rock. Many secondary roads in this county are graveled or oiled, so a paved lane needs its own drainage rather than borrowing from the road it meets. Entrances get extra base, since turning trucks load them hardest.
Road constructionFarm yards, equipment pads, church lots and long country drives around Murrayville 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
Morgan County uplands are covered in loess, with the thickest deposits toward the west, and the silty soil drains slowly where the ground is flat. A base holding water shifts under load, and freeze-thaw winters turn that movement into cracking. We shape the grade to move runoff first, then dig out soft ground and compact rock in layers.
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.

Rutting is almost always a base problem, not a surface one. We build the rock base deep enough for the actual loads, compact it in layers so it stops moving, and shape the surface to shed water. Wet base rock under weight is what forms ruts in the first place.

No. Fresh asphalt in Murrayville 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.
It can, but it has to be built for that load. On Murrayville 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.
