At the 2020 census this was the least populous incorporated city in Illinois, with 199 residents. It sits twelve miles south of Mount Vernon, tucked between the two northern arms of Rend Lake, and belongs to the Mount Vernon micropolitan area. Small place, real paving needs: drives, lanes and a lot or two.
We handle driveways and parking lots first, then the private roads and lanes that reach properties off the county roads. Each gets drainage planned, soft soil removed and a rock base compacted in layers before hot-mix asphalt goes down, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted on a residential drive. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.
Living near a lake means runoff and a high water table are part of the picture, so a drive has to be shaped to move water rather than collect it. We check the subgrade, dig out what is soft, compact rock in layers and place hot mix that gets rolled hot. Two to three inches compacted works for cars and pickups. Boats, trailers and work trucks call for a deeper base and thicker asphalt.
Driveway pavingChurch parking, a shop pad, a small business lot or a shared area for a few properties all get built to the traffic that uses them. We plan the entrance and turning room, size the base to the heaviest vehicle, and grade so water leaves at a chosen point instead of sitting in a low corner. Asphalt goes in lifts and gets rolled.
Parking lot pavingPrivate roads, lake access drives and farm lanes get graded, crowned and built over a compacted rock base. Near low ground, the shoulders and ditches matter as much as the surface, because water that cannot leave the road undercuts the edges. Chip seal can make sense on a lightly traveled lane.
Road constructionFarm yards, equipment pads, church lots and long country drives around Nason 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
Jefferson County uplands are loess-covered claypan, a dense subsoil that lets water through slowly, hard when dry and sticky when wet. Close to Rend Lake the ground is lower and wetter still. Freeze-thaw winters break pavement that sits on a wet base, so we drain the surface, remove soft material and compact the base in layers.
When you compare bids, ask each contractor for three numbers in writing: the compacted asphalt thickness, the base depth, and what happens to the water. Those three decide how long the surface lasts.
Typical ranges. Your Nason estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Yes. Small drives and short lanes are regular work. The process does not change with the size: check the subgrade, build and compact the base, place and roll hot mix. We give you the same free estimate and the same 25% off on a small job as a large one.
We pave in Nason, Waltonville, Sesser, Mount Vernon, Woodlawn and the surrounding Jefferson County area, plus greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Estimates are free and you get 25% off on driveways, lots and lanes.
It helps, because you know where water sits on the Nason property and how the drive gets used. If you cannot be there, tell us what you want done when you call and we will work out the best way to walk the site and go over the details with you.
They matter more than the asphalt. A Nason lane that holds water at the culvert will fail there first, so we look at ditches, the culvert and the crown before quoting the surface.
We pave all around Nason, across Jefferson County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
