Half a square mile does not leave room for much, so most paving in Summerfield happens on private ground: the driveway, the shop pad, the church lot, the lane running back to the barn. We build each one the same way, with a graded and compacted rock base under hot-mix asphalt placed in lifts and rolled.
Friedrich Hecker, the German revolutionary, spent his last years on a farm here and died in 1881; he is buried in the village cemetery. Old communities carry old pavement, and much of what we do is removing what has failed and correcting the drainage that killed it. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.
A drive in a village this small usually runs from the street past the house to a garage or a shop, and it carries more than a car. We pull out cracked asphalt or rutted gravel, repair the base where it has gone soft, then place hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for a home drive. Edges get shaped and backfilled so they hold.
Driveway pavingChurch lots, shop pads and small business lots make up the commercial work here. We lay out where vehicles enter and turn, build base rock for the heaviest load the lot will see, then pave and compact. Grading is what keeps a lot alive, so we set it to move water off the surface to planned outlets.
Parking lot pavingFarm lanes and private access roads around the village take loaded equipment through wet spring ground. We grade, compact rock in layers, and crown the surface so runoff reaches the ditch instead of standing in the wheel tracks. Hot mix handles heavy use, and chip seal or recycled millings suit longer lanes with lighter traffic.
Road constructionA lot of rural pavement near Summerfield 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
Upland St. Clair County sits under thick windblown loess silt, which compacts well but holds moisture when it is not drained. Freeze-thaw winters then lift anything built over a wet base. We strip soft material, compact rock in lifts and set the grade so water runs off the pavement rather than collecting along the edges.
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 Summerfield estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Yes. Lebanon is about 3 miles away, Trenton under 4 and New Baden under 5, and we pave in all of them along with Mascoutah and the rest of St. Clair and Clinton counties. Estimates are free and you get 25% off.
Edges have no support on the outside, so wheels running off the pavement break them down, especially where the ground beside the drive is soft or washed out. Building the edge properly and backfilling with soil or rock right up to it slows that down.
Most Summerfield 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.
As much as the budget allows. Long lanes around Summerfield are often done in stages, starting at the road or at the worst stretch. We build each stage so the next one ties in cleanly rather than leaving a lip where the work stopped.
We pave all around Summerfield, across St. Clair County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
