Hot-mix asphalt, laid right in Virden

In Virden's town square, a monument honors those killed in the 1898 Battle of Virden coal strike. Route 4 runs through the city as Springfield Street, heading northeast to Springfield and southwest to Carlinville. We pave driveways and parking lots in town and on the farm properties around it.

A small portion of the city reaches north into Sangamon County, and we work on both sides of that line. Every job gets a compacted rock base, grading that moves water off the surface, and hot-mix asphalt rolled tight at the edges. Farm lanes and private roads get the same care. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate with 25% off.

Driveway paving in Virden

Driveway work in and around Virden runs from a short in-town drive to a long rural lane. For an older drive, we remove broken concrete or failed blacktop, fix the base and place new hot-mix asphalt, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted. For a long gravel lane, we can pave all of it or start where the ruts are worst. Parking pads for trucks and campers get a thicker section.

Parking lot paving in Virden

For a business on Springfield Street, a church lot, or a shop yard at the edge of town, we plan entrances, traffic flow and drainage before any asphalt goes down. The base is sized for delivery trucks and heavier loads. Worn but sound lots may only need crack repair, an overlay or seal coating, and we will tell you which fits.

Road construction & private roads

We build and repave private roads, farm lanes, access roads to shops and grain bins, and small subdivision streets. Each gets a graded base, compacted rock and a crown to shed water. Asphalt fits lanes with steady truck traffic, and chip seal is an option for longer lanes with light use. Entrances off Route 4 or county roads get extra strength.

General asphalt paving & repair

General paving in Virden 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.

What's under a Virden driveway

The city drains west to Sugar Creek and east to its tributary, Brush Creek. Water that cannot get off a driveway soaks into the clay-heavy soils common in the region, then freezes and heaves the surface. We grade for runoff first, remove soft material and compact rock in layers so the base stays firm through freeze-thaw winters.

The part of the job you can see is the last two inches. Ask what is underneath, how it will be compacted, and which way the finished surface drains.

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 Virden estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Virden paving questions

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

Do you pave on the Sangamon County side of Virden too?

Yes. The small part of Virden in Sangamon County is in our service area, along with the Macoupin County side and nearby towns like Girard, Thayer and Auburn. Estimates are free, and you get 25% off. Call (866) 490-7680 to set one up.

Should I repave my lot or just seal coat it?

Seal coating protects asphalt that is still sound: a tight surface, few cracks, no sinking. If the lot has alligator cracking, potholes or soft spots, the base has failed and sealcoat will not fix it. Those areas need to be cut out and rebuilt or overlaid. We check during the free estimate.

What goes into the price of paving in Virden?

On a Virden job the price comes down to size, how much base work is needed, the asphalt thickness, whether old pavement has to come out, drainage fixes and how easily trucks can reach the work. Your written estimate lists each of those so you can compare it with other bids line by line.

What about the apron where my drive meets the street?

In Virden that is the piece that takes the most abuse, so it gets extra attention: a firm base, a tie-in that sits flush with the road, and a shape that moves water to the ditch or gutter instead of back toward the drive.
