Main routes: Route 148
A steep knob holds the village water tower above otherwise prairie ground, which tells you most of what you need to know about drainage here: water moves fast off the high spot and slowly everywhere else. We pave driveways and parking lots through the village, always on a graded, compacted rock base under hot-mix asphalt.
Route 148 runs through the southeast part of Waltonville, 13 miles southwest of Mount Vernon and 8 miles north of Sesser. The town grew with the 1893 rail line and the coal mines that followed it, and much of its pavement came long after. We rebuild what has failed and correct the grade that caused it.

Village drives here run from the street to the garage or on back to a shop, and they hold a truck as often as a car. We remove cracked asphalt or rutted gravel, rebuild the base where it has softened, and place hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for a home drive. The apron at the street gets built to take turning wheels.
Driveway pavingChurches, shops, shop pads and farm yards make up the lot work here, and all of them see trucks. We size base rock to the heaviest vehicle, plan where drivers enter and turn, then pave and compact in lifts. Grading sends water to a planned spot, which is the difference between a lot lasting and a lot failing.
Parking lot pavingFarm lanes and private roads off Route 148 carry loaded equipment when the ground is at its softest. We grade, compact base rock in layers and crown the surface so runoff reaches the ditch. Hot mix goes where traffic is heaviest, and chip seal or recycled millings suit the longer, lighter runs.
Road constructionFarm yards, equipment pads, church lots and long country drives around Waltonville each carry different loads. We size the base and the asphalt to the traffic that will actually use it, then compact every layer so it stays put.
Asphalt paving
Prairie ground drops off the knob and then flattens, so water slows once it leaves the high side. Clay-heavy soils common across southern Illinois hold that moisture, and freeze-thaw winters lift pavement resting on a wet base. We strip soft soil, compact rock in layers and set grade so the surface sheds rain.
Bids are only comparable when they spell out the same things: base depth, compacted thickness, how edges are finished, and where water is meant to go. Ask for those before you pick a number.

Yes. Route 148 runs 13 miles northeast to Mount Vernon and 8 miles south to Sesser, and we pave along that stretch and across Jefferson County. Driveways, lots, farm lanes and private roads are all part of the work. Estimates are free and you get 25% off.
Usually because the base under those spots holds water. Freezing lifts it, thawing drops it, and the surface splits along the same line each season. Patching the top alone will not stop it. The fix is cutting out that area and rebuilding the base under it.
It helps, because you know where water sits on the Waltonville 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.
As much as the budget allows. Long lanes around Waltonville 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 Waltonville, across Jefferson County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
