Your Percy paving crew

Pine Street carries Route 150 through the village, and Routes 150 and 4 run together through this stretch on the way from Chester toward Cutler. Local driveways and lots sit a block or two off that. We pave them, and we rebuild the ones that were laid thin over soft ground and started breaking up in the wheel tracks.

Base and drainage decide how long a surface lasts, so that is where the money goes first. Soft material out, rock compacted in layers, grade set to shed water, then hot mix rolled dense. Farm lanes, shop yards and private roads round out the work. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate with 25% off.

Driveway paving in Percy

Most drives here come straight off a village street and run a short distance to the house or garage. Short runs make grade critical, because there is not much room to move water. We set the fall, compact the rock base and lay hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups, with a built-up apron where the drive meets the street.

Parking lot paving in Percy

Church lots, small business pads and shop yards along the Route 150 corridor all take delivery trucks at some point. We build the entrance and the truck path heavier than the stalls, grade the lot so water runs to an outlet, and keep the tie-in to Pine Street clean. Patching and seal coating extend a lot that is still solid.

Road construction & private roads

East of the village the ground is farmed, so most road work there means field lanes, grain approaches and private roads shared by a few properties. Those need a crown and a compacted base more than they need a thick surface. Chip seal fits seasonal traffic, asphalt fits lanes trucks use all year, and both start with drainage.

General asphalt paving & repair

Out around Percy, general asphalt work often means shop pads, machine-shed aprons, turnarounds for trucks and trailers, and the stretch of lane where gravel keeps washing out. We build those with drainage and heavy tires in mind.

Ground, water and winter in Percy

Randolph County uplands run to silt and clay, and that kind of ground holds water right where you do not want it. Freeze it and the surface above moves. We take out soft material, compact rock in layers and grade every job so runoff leaves before winter has anything to work with.

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.

Compacted asphaltTypically 2 to 3 in. for a car drive
Stone baseTypically 4 to 8 in., compacted
Drive on itUsually 2 to 3 days, longer in heat
First sealcoatTypically 6 to 12 months after paving

Typical ranges. Your Percy estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Percy paving questions

Straight answers for Percy homeowners and property managers. Anything else, call (866) 490-7680.

Can you fix just the bad section of a driveway?

Often yes. If the rest of the surface is sound, we cut out the failed area, rebuild the base under it and patch back with hot mix. If the base is bad across the whole drive, patching only moves the problem. We will tell you which one you have.

Do you work in Steeleville and Willisville too?

Yes. Both are a few minutes down the road, and we serve them along with the rest of Randolph County and greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Free estimates, and 25% off the work you decide to do.

Do I need to be home for the estimate?

It helps, because you know where water sits on the Percy 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.

Is chip seal or asphalt millings a better fit for a long drive?

Both cost less than hot mix and both work well on long drives around Percy. Chip seal gives a tough, textured surface; compacted millings bind tighter than gravel and cut the dust. We will walk the lane and tell you honestly where each one makes sense.
