Paving Pinckneyville from the base up

County seat traffic runs through here every weekday. Route 154 carries most of it east and west, and Route 13 turns along it in town. Driveways and parking lots are our main work in Pinckneyville, plus the private roads and access drives around the edges of town.

The town was organized in 1857 and named for Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, and it now holds the county jail museum in an 1871 building along with the Illinois Rural Heritage Museum. A lot serving that kind of visitor traffic needs a base built for delivery trucks, not just cars. Home drives get a compacted rock base and hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted.

Driveway paving in Pinckneyville

Properties here range from older streets with short approaches to newer ground with longer drives and turnarounds. We shape the subgrade so water sheds away from the house, compact aggregate in layers, then place hot mix, usually 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups. Where a boat, camper or work truck sits all season, we thicken that pad so it holds shape in summer heat.

Parking lot paving in Pinckneyville

Lots along Routes 13 and 154 take steady traffic, including trucks pulling in off the highway. We plan entrances and drive aisles around how those vehicles actually turn, build the base for the heaviest of them, and place asphalt in lifts. Church, school and municipal lots get the same treatment, with striping once the surface cures.

Road construction & private roads

Private roads, subdivision streets, industrial access drives and farm lanes get built the same way: grade, crown, a compacted rock base sized for loaded axles, then asphalt or chip seal. The first stretch inside an entrance takes the most punishment from turning trucks, so that section gets extra base.

General asphalt paving & repair

Around Pinckneyville we see plenty of pavement that has been patched over and over. Sometimes one more patch is the right call. Sometimes a mill-and-overlay or a rebuild saves money over the next ten years. We will lay out both options so you can choose.

Built for Pinckneyville's ground

Ground around town is mostly flat with some rolling stretches, and Beaucoup Creek runs north to south just east of it. Flat ground holds water, and the clay-heavy soil common across southern Illinois drains slowly. We remove soft material, compact base rock in lifts, and grade so runoff leaves before a freeze can work on it.

Bids are only comparable when they spell out the same things: base depth, compacted thickness, how edges are finished, and where water is meant to go. Ask for those before you pick a number.

Pinckneyville paving questions

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

Do you pave lots for businesses on Route 13?

Yes. A highway lot sees semis, delivery vans and customer cars, so we size the base for the heaviest of those and thicken the asphalt where trucks turn. We also plan where water leaves the lot so it does not run toward a doorway. Estimates are free.

Can you repair a lot instead of replacing it?

Often, yes. If the base is still solid, cutting out bad areas, patching and overlaying gives years more life for less money. If the base itself has failed, an overlay only hides the problem. We tell you which one you are actually looking at.

Is my part of Perry County in your service area?

Yes. We work in Pinckneyville and throughout Perry County, along with the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Call or send the form with your address and we will set up a time to look at the job.

Do you need a permit to tie into a Pinckneyville road?

Work inside your Pinckneyville property line usually does not need one, but a new entrance onto a city street, a county road or a state route often does. The rules differ by road, so check with the city or county first; the owner normally pulls that permit.
