Main routes: Route 148 and Route 154
Coal found in 1904 and the railroad arriving in 1906 built this town, and the 1914 opera house on the National Register still stands from that stretch. Driveways and parking lots are the bulk of our work here, plus shop pads and the lanes running out to farm ground.
Routes 148 and 154 meet in town, and Route 154 crosses Rend Lake to the east on its way to I-57. A lot along either route sees trucks, so the base gets sized for them. Home drives get soft soil removed, rock compacted in layers, and hot-mix asphalt, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.
In-town drives are short and close to the street, and many sit on ground that was farmed long before the houses went up. We check what is under the surface, remove soft material, compact aggregate in layers, then place hot mix at typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups. Boat and camper pads get extra thickness so they hold shape.
Driveway pavingChurch lots, school parking, small business lots and shop yards cover most of the work in town. We size the base for the heaviest vehicle expected, slope the surface toward a planned low point, and place asphalt in lifts. Where the base is sound, cutting out bad areas and overlaying costs less than a full rebuild.
Parking lot pavingFarm lanes, private roads and access drives around town carry equipment and loaded trucks in season. We grade and crown them, compact a rock base deep enough for those axles, then surface in asphalt or chip seal depending on traffic. Approaches onto Route 148 or Route 154 get extra base for turning weight.
Road constructionGeneral paving in Sesser 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
This was prairie farmland in an area of underground coal mining, and ground that has been disturbed does not always compact evenly. Clay-heavy soil across southern Illinois drains slowly on top of that, and freeze-thaw winters find every wet spot. We proof the subgrade, replace soft material, and compact base rock in lifts.
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.
Typical ranges. Your Sesser estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

It can. Settlement is uneven where ground has moved, and pavement shows it as dips or cracking in one area rather than even wear. We look at how the existing surface has behaved, build the base to spread load, and say plainly what pavement cannot fix.
Yes. Nason, Waltonville, Mulkeytown, Tamaroa and Du Quoin and the farms between them are normal work, along with greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Estimates are free and you get 25% off.
Most Sesser 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.
Most Sesser estimates happen within a few days of your call, and jobs are usually scheduled a couple of weeks out depending on weather and the season. Booking early in the year gets the better dates.
