A post office has operated here since 1854, and the village still covers about a quarter square mile, with 59 residents counted in 2020. Work in a place this size is driveways, farm lanes and the occasional church or shop lot, and that suits us fine.
Western Lincoln County is loess and till prairie, rolling farm ground that drains slowly in the flats. Long drives out to farmhouses are the common job, and they are base work more than surface work. We regrade, rock and compact before any asphalt is placed. The village takes its name from Thomas Truxtun, a Revolutionary War officer. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.
Most drives here start as gravel that has been regraded for years. We find the soft spots and the low places that hold water, dig them out, compact rock in layers, and place hot-mix asphalt, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups. A lane that carries a grain truck or tractor gets more base and more asphalt. Long ones can be paved in phases.
Driveway pavingChurch lots, shop pads and equipment yards are the commercial paving around here. We size the base for the heaviest vehicle that parks or turns, plan where water goes, and place asphalt in lifts. On a working yard, recycled asphalt or chip seal over a compacted base often makes more sense than hot mix.
Parking lot pavingWe build and repave farm lanes, field access roads, private drives and shared roads between properties. Each gets grading, a compacted rock base and a crown so water leaves the surface instead of standing in ruts. Entrances off a county road get extra base, since turning trucks break that edge first.
Road constructionA lot of rural pavement near Truxton 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
Rolling prairie farmland looks like it drains well, and the slopes do. The flats between them hold water, and that is where pavement fails after a freeze-thaw winter lifts it. We grade so runoff has somewhere to go, remove soft soil, and compact the rock base in layers before anything is paved.
When you compare bids, ask each contractor for three numbers in writing: the compacted asphalt thickness, the base depth, and what happens to the water. Those three decide how long the surface lasts.
Typical ranges. Your Truxton estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

That is your call, and we will give you a straight answer. Asphalt ends the yearly gravel regrading and handles daily truck use. If the lane is very long or lightly used, chip seal or recycled asphalt over a good base costs less and still works.

Most Truxton 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 Truxton 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.
