Polish settlers founded this village in 1873 and named it for Radom, Poland, with John B. Turchin, a Russian-born Union Army officer, helping start the colony. It has stayed small farm country since. Driveways and parking lots are the work here, plus the lanes serving fields and outbuildings.
No state highway runs through the village. Route 51 passes about two miles west, so getting anywhere starts on a local road or a private drive. We build those drives properly: soft soil out, rock compacted in layers, hot-mix asphalt placed and rolled at typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups.

A drive here usually runs from a county road to the house, with a turnaround and a pad near the shed. We grade the subgrade so water sheds off both sides, compact aggregate in layers, then place hot mix. Two to three inches compacted handles cars and pickups. Where a tractor or loaded trailer crosses regularly, we build the base deeper and widen the turn.
Driveway pavingChurch parking, a shop pad or a farm yard covers most lot work in the village. We size the base for the heaviest vehicle that uses it, slope the surface to a planned low point, and place asphalt in lifts so it compacts evenly. An old gravel yard can usually be paved once the rock under it is rebuilt.
Parking lot pavingField access roads, private lanes and shared drives carry equipment through planting and harvest. We grade and crown them, compact a rock base deep enough for loaded axles, then surface in asphalt or chip seal depending on how much traffic they see. Entrances off the county road get extra base and thickness.
Road constructionA lot of rural pavement near Radom fails at the edges, where water gets under the asphalt and tires break the shoulder down. Overlays, edge rebuilds and better drainage are often the fix. When the base is gone, we rebuild it before we pave.
Asphalt paving
The Little Muddy River runs just west of the village, and low ground near a river stays wet longer after a rain. Clay-heavy soils common across southern Illinois drain slowly on their own. We pull out soft material, compact base rock in layers, and grade so water leaves the surface before a freeze can lift it.
The part of the job you can see is the last two inches. Ask what is underneath, how it will be compacted, and which way the finished surface drains.
Typical ranges. Your Radom estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

No. Route 51 runs about two miles west and the county roads get us in fine. Trucks hauling material need a route that carries their weight, so we check the approach before scheduling and plan deliveries around any soft or posted stretch.
With a proper base and real drainage, a residential drive commonly gives many years before it needs resurfacing, and sealing after it has cured for months helps. Poor drainage is what shortens that, which is why we start with base and grade.
Most Radom driveways are paved in one to two days once the base is ready, with more time if the old surface has to come out or the base needs rebuilding. You can usually walk on it the same day and drive on it after a few days, depending on the weather.
As much as the budget allows. Long lanes around Radom are often done in stages, starting at the road or at the worst stretch. We build each stage so the next one ties in cleanly rather than leaving a lip where the work stopped.
We pave all around Radom, across Washington County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
