Main routes: Route 267
Two state routes shape the edges of this village. Route 267 runs along the east side and turns north there toward Greenfield, and Route 108 crosses just above town on its way west to Carrollton. That crossing is about the only busy spot. The rest is farm ground, and most of what we pave is driveways and the parking at churches, shops and farm buildings.
A surface fails from underneath, so we build from underneath. Soft material comes out, rock goes in and is compacted in layers, and the grade is set to move water off. Then hot mix, placed and rolled while hot. Lanes and private roads get the same attention. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate that comes with 25% off.
A drive out here often runs a few hundred feet and carries a pickup, a tractor or a delivery truck as readily as a car. We size the base to the heaviest of those, compact the rock in layers and place hot mix at a typical 2 to 3 inches compacted where light vehicles are the load. The entrance at the road gets built up first.
Driveway pavingIn a village this size, parking means a church lot, a shop pad or the yard around a farm building. Those take loaded trucks, so we put the depth in the base and grade the surface to a clear outlet. Where a lot ties into Route 267 or a county road, that entrance is built heavier and the sight lines stay clear.
Parking lot pavingWe build and repave farm lanes, field entrances and private roads shared by a few families. They hold up when the surface is crowned and the base is compacted, not when a thin layer is spread over soft ground. Chip seal suits seasonal traffic, and asphalt suits lanes that carry grain trucks in wet weather.
Road constructionA lot of rural pavement near Rockbridge 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
Greene County farm ground holds moisture in the silt and clay soils common across this region, and moisture in a base is what freeze-thaw turns into cracked, heaved pavement. Every job here starts with a grade that gives water a path off the surface, then a rock base compacted in layers instead of one deep lift.
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.

Yes. An entrance onto Route 267 or Route 108 takes more base than the rest of the drive, because vehicles turn and brake there under load. We also set the grade so nothing washes out onto the highway. That gets settled before the work is scheduled.
It depends on the traffic and the base. If the gravel is clean and well drained, it can become part of a proper base. If it is muddy or holds water, that material has to come out first. We will look and give you a straight answer.
Typically a compacted crushed-stone base several inches deep on firm soil, with soft spots dug out first, and that holds for any Rockbridge driveway. On clay soils that hold water, a thicker base and good slope matter even more. The estimate states the base depth so there are no surprises.
Usually yes, and it is a common question on Rockbridge lanes. We plan the approach before the day of paving, and building a turnaround into the job often costs less than you would expect while making the drive far more usable.
We pave all around Rockbridge, across Greene County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
