Main routes: Route 16
Hillsboro wraps around Schram City on the north, west and south, and Route 16 runs through the village about 2 miles east of downtown Hillsboro. We pave driveways and parking lots on both sides of that line, from homes on residential streets to business lots along the highway, plus private drives and access roads nearby.
Lake Hillsboro sits just north of the village limits, and the land here is drained by small tributaries of the Middle Fork of Shoal Creek. That makes grading as important as the asphalt itself. Every job gets a compacted base, hot mix placed and rolled while hot, and a clean path for water. Every estimate is free, and the work comes with 25% off. Call (866) 490-7680.
In Schram City, a short residential driveway still needs a full base. We dig out soft soil, compact base rock in layers and pave with hot mix, usually 2 to 3 inches compacted for a home. We set the slope so water runs to the street or yard, not toward the garage, and shape the apron so it meets the street without a lip.
Driveway pavingBusinesses along Route 16, and churches and shops in the village, need lots that drain and hold up to daily cars and delivery trucks. We build a thicker section than a driveway, set slopes and inlets so water leaves the surface, and lay out parking and drive lanes. Where the base is sound, milling and overlaying can extend a lot's life.
Parking lot pavingPrivate drives, subdivision streets and shared access roads near Schram City need a compacted base, a crown, and ditches or culverts that carry water away. New streets get grades that tie into existing drainage and driveways. For longer lanes out toward the country, chip seal or recycled millings can be a lower-cost surface.
Road constructionGeneral paving in Schram City can be as simple as a new apron where the drive meets the street or as big as an overlay across a business lot. Either way the estimate spells out the base work, the asphalt thickness and what the finished surface should look like.
Asphalt paving
Water here drains northwest through small tributaries toward the Middle Fork of Shoal Creek. Slow-draining soils are common in central Illinois, and winter freeze-thaw punishes a weak base. We dig to firm ground, compact the base in lifts, and grade so water leaves the pavement quickly.
A cheap bid usually gets cheap somewhere you cannot see. Ask what depth of stone goes down, how thick the asphalt is after rolling, and who fixes it if water still stands.
Typical ranges. Your Schram City estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

No. It is its own village, bordered by Hillsboro on the north, west and south. We give free estimates for driveways, parking lots and private roads in both, with 25% off the work. Call (866) 490-7680 to set a time.
Away from the garage and house, toward the street, a yard or a ditch that can carry the water off. A slight crown or cross slope keeps water out of the wheel paths. We check the existing grades during your free estimate and adjust the base so water leaves the drive.
Typically a compacted crushed-stone base several inches deep on firm soil, with soft spots dug out first, and that holds for any Schram City 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.
In Schram City that is the piece that takes the most abuse, so it gets extra attention: a firm base, a tie-in that sits flush with the road, and a shape that moves water to the ditch or gutter instead of back toward the drive.
We pave all around Schram City, across Montgomery County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
