Your Shiloh paving crew

A village of 453 people in 1950 counted 14,098 in 2020, and the building that came with that growth shows up in every subdivision. Driveways and parking lots are the bulk of our work here, along with subdivision streets and the access drives serving commercial ground.

I-64 runs through the village, exit 19 serves US 50 and Route 158, and Frank Scott Parkway, Lebanon Avenue and Green Mount Road carry the daily traffic. Parts of Scott Air Force Base sit inside the village limits. A house drive gets a compacted rock base and hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted. A commercial lot gets a base built for trucks.

Driveway paving in Shiloh

Newer subdivisions have two-car and three-car approaches, while drives from the 1990s and early 2000s are reaching the age where they crack along the edges and at the apron. We cut out soft ground, compact rock base in layers, and place hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and light trucks. Widening or adding a parking pad gets the same base work.

Parking lot paving in Shiloh

Retail, office, church and school lots along Green Mount Road and Frank Scott Parkway take heavy car turnover plus delivery and trash trucks every week. Those trucks set the base thickness. We build for them, keep the surface draining to the inlets, and can phase the work so you never lose the whole lot at once.

Road construction & private roads

Subdivision streets and private drives wear first in the wheel paths and at the entrances. Where the base holds, we mill and overlay. Where it has failed, we dig out and rebuild that stretch. Commercial access drives off an arterial get extra base at the turn-in, where loaded trucks work pavement hardest.

General asphalt paving & repair

Sidewalk-to-driveway transitions, trail connections, subdivision patches and small pads are all part of the work around Shiloh. Small jobs still get a compacted base, clean saw-cut edges and a proper tie-in to the existing pavement.

Ground, water and winter in Shiloh

The village water tower stands on one of the highest points in St. Clair County, and upland ground like that is capped with deep windblown loess silt. Silt holds water and lifts when it freezes, so slope and base do the real work. We proof the subgrade, replace soft material, and compact base rock in layers.

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.

Compacted asphaltTypically 2 to 3 in. for a car drive
Stone baseTypically 4 to 8 in., compacted
Drive on itUsually 2 to 3 days, longer in heat
First sealcoatTypically 6 to 12 months after paving

Typical ranges. Your Shiloh estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Shiloh paving questions

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

Can you pave a business lot without closing it?

Usually yes. We split the lot into sections, keep an entrance and part of the parking open, and work through it in phases. Curing time sets the schedule, so we agree in advance on which areas close and for how long.

My subdivision drive is cracking at the garage. What causes that?

Most often water. If the grade lets runoff sit against the garage slab, or the drive was placed over ground that was never properly compacted, the edge fails first. We look at the slope and the base before deciding between a repair and a replacement.

Do I need to be home for the estimate?

It helps, because you know where water sits on the Shiloh property and how the drive gets used. If you cannot be there, tell us what you want done when you call and we will work out the best way to walk the site and go over the details with you.

Can you pave in a new subdivision that is still building?

Yes, though in a Shiloh subdivision still under construction it is often worth waiting until heavy trucks are done with your street. We will tell you if the timing works against you rather than pave twice.
