Main routes: I-72, Route 36, and Route 267
Main Street here is Route 267, running about two miles north into downtown Jacksonville and about six south to Woodson, with I-72 and US 36 sharing a freeway along the southern edge at Exit 64. That corridor is where most commercial paving happens, and driveways fill in the rest.
The Prairie Land Heritage Museum sits in the northwest corner with its antique machinery and narrow-gauge steam railroad, a reminder of how much farm equipment still moves through this area. A house drive gets a compacted rock base and hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted. A lot on Main Street gets a base sized for delivery trucks.

Residential drives here are mostly short approaches between a village street and a garage, plus a few longer runs out on the edges. We cut out soft ground, compact rock base in layers, and place hot mix at typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and light trucks. The apron at the street gets extra base, because turning tires break a drive there first.
Driveway pavingBusiness lots along Route 267 take steady customer traffic plus delivery vans, trash trucks and the occasional semi. Those set base thickness. We build for them, slope the surface to planned drainage points, place asphalt in lifts, and can phase the work so an entrance and part of the parking stay open.
Parking lot pavingAccess roads off Main Street, private drives and subdivision streets all get a graded, crowned and compacted rock base before any surface. Where a street has failed only in stretches, we cut out and rebuild those sections rather than overlaying weak ground. Entrances from the arterial get extra base for turning trucks.
Road constructionIn a town like South Jacksonville, general asphalt work covers a lot of ground: shop and church lots, alley aprons, repairs along a curb line, overlays on older streets and pads for equipment. The approach stays the same: fix the base, lay the hot mix, roll it tight, finish the edges.
Asphalt paving
Mauvaise Terre Creek runs north through the east side of the village and on through the lake, so ground on that side sits lower and drains toward the creek. Silt and clay soils common here hold water and move with freeze-thaw. We proof the subgrade, compact base rock in lifts, and build slope into every surface.
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 South Jacksonville estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Yes. Exit 64 puts freeway traffic onto Route 267, and lots along that stretch see trucks as well as cars. We size the base to the heaviest regular vehicle and thicken the entrance, then plan where water leaves so it does not run toward a door.
A typical residential drive is a one or two day job once we start, depending on how much excavation the base needs. Weather can move the date, since hot mix needs warm, dry conditions to compact properly. We confirm timing before the crew arrives.
Yes. We work in South Jacksonville and throughout Morgan County, along with the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Call or send the form with your address and we will set up a time to look at the job.
Work inside your South Jacksonville property line usually does not need one, but a new entrance onto a city street, a county road or a state route often does. The rules differ by road, so check with the city or county first; the owner normally pulls that permit.
